In the case of The Batman, the starring transportation looks very much like a car. As production designer James Chinlund explained, that was not only on purpose, it was a critical part of BruceWayne’s ethos: “Every Batman we’ve seen, he’s had the backing of Wayne Industries. We really wanted Bruce to build [this one] himself. We wanted it to be a car, not a tank.”Motorsport-level quality and precision, in service of making movie magic.
Once the design was nearly finalized, it was time to build the car. Dominic Tuohy, a 38-year veteran of the special-effects industry who has won numerous awards, was handed the task. He had four months to build a vehicle that could be driven at speed, refueled in minutes, and equipped with an arsenal of lighting and pyrotechnic effects. Oh, and survive a 100-foot-long jump through fire. His team of fabricators, artists, and high-level motorsport technicians got to work.
