First Look At The All-New Batmobile In Action

Footage of the shiny new Batmobile in action, on the set of the upcoming film ‘Suicide Squad’, has surfaced online, and it’s looking every bit as impressive in motion as you would hope.

The new car will make its debut when a new regeneration of the ‘Batman’ franchise commences next year, with Ben Affleck taking on the role in ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice’.

Excitingly, it looks like the souped-up supercar will also be putting in an appearance in ‘Suicide Squad’, a new spin-off film that will focus on some of Gotham City’s most famous villains, such as The Joker and Harley Quinn.

New footage recorded on the ‘Suicide Squad’ set in Toronto shows The Joker at the wheel of a luxury sports car, being chased through the city by Batman.

The new car was previously unveiled last year, in the background of the first official photo of Ben in his new superhero role.

‘Suicide Squad’ boasts an all-star cast, with Jared Leto undergoing a dramatic transformation to take on the role of The Joker.

Gone are his trademark beard and long hair, replaced by a clean-shaven look, while even The Joker character himself has had quite a makeover from his recent incarnations, now sporting a grill and some very prominent body art, including the word ‘damaged’ across his forehead.

Other stars making up the cast include Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and supermodel Cara Delevingne as Enchantress.

'Suicide Squad' is currently slated for release on 5 August 2016.

10 Superheroes Who Need Movies
Batgirl(01 of10)
Open Image Modal
Stephanie Brown began as a superhero called Spoiler in order to rebel against her father, a low-level supervillain. She had a stint as a Robin before taking the Batgirl mantle from Cassandra Cain. She’s quick-witted and fairly angst-free, a rarity among Batman’s supporting cast. (credit:DC)
Blue Beetle(02 of10)

Jaime Reyes is a Texan teen and the third person to take the reins as the Blue Beetle. He can harness the power of a mystical scarab, which gives him armor, flight, and other powers. Dorky and good-hearted, his first ongoing comic featured one of the best supporting casts, whose members all know his secret identity. A movie about Jaime could show his evolution as he learns to use the Blue Beetle armor and improve his skills as a superhero. (credit:DC)
Birds of Prey(03 of10)

Yes, the Birds of Prey had a short-lived TV series in 2002, but let’s not talk about that. The Birds of Prey started as a duo, with former Batgirl Barbara Gordon acting as mission control for field agent Black Canary. They were later joined by 3rd core member Huntress. They also have a rotating membership of the best female heroes DC has to offer, including Big Barda and Lady Blackhawk. Awesome ladies kicking ass. There is nothing bad about that. (credit:DC)
Guy Gardner(04 of10)

Guy is a Green Lantern constantly in Hal Jordan’s shadow. He’s foul-mouthed, short-tempered, and not the smartest, but deep (very deep) down, he’s a decent guy who wants to do the right thing. He's notable for doing anything to get and keep a Lantern ring (once going into space to find one and somehow defying the need for oxygen) and for having the worst haircut in comics. (credit:DC)
Wonder Woman(05 of10)

Along with Batman and Superman, Wonder Woman is the third part of the Big Three, but somehow keeps getting passed over for movies. She combines Batman’s pragmatism and Superman’s optimism to form a more balanced hero than either of them. Rather than always trying to save people, she prefers to give others the tools in order to save themselves. She’s an underrated hero who can destroy fire-spewing tanks by herself. What’s not to love?

Dazzler(06 of10)

Dazzler’s power is converting sound vibrations into light, so naturally she went into a career in disco, along with joining the X-Men. If you say you don’t want to watch a campy movie about a disco superhero on roller skates, you are lying. (credit:Marvel)
Luke Cage(07 of10)

The current Luke Cage is a tough guy/family man with no costume, but he’s not the incarnation I’m talking about here. Way back at his inception in the 1970s, he was a jive-talking stereotype whose fighting style consisted of smashing things. Short on brains but long on brawn, his best storyline involved him confronting Doctor Doom over $200 that he promised Luke and then flaked on. Luke was the first (and so far only) hero to find Doom's armor's only weakness: being punched repeatedly in the same spot. Oh, and eventually he got his $200. (credit:Marvel)
Power Pack(08 of10)

Alex, Julie, Jack, and Katie are four ordinary kids who get powers from a space horse and use them to go out and fight crime. Space horse. Crime fighting. If I was a kid, I’d love that movie. Who am I kidding, I would love that movie now. (credit:Marvel)
She-Hulk(09 of10)
Open Image Modal
The Hulk’s calmer cousin, Jen Walters, is a lawyer/superhero. She got her powers by receiving a blood transfusion from Bruce Banner, and is one of the few superheroes who actually loves what she does. She’s also one of the strongest heroes, and can go toe-to-toe with Hercules. A She-Hulk movie could be part courtroom drama, part superhero movie. That could work, right? (credit:Marvel)
Spider-Girl(10 of10)
Open Image Modal
The daughter of Spider-Man and Mary-Jane in another universe, Spider-Girl inherited her father's powers and quick wit. May “Mayday” Parker is a teenager who wants to use her powers for good. Sound familiar? Spider-Girl differs from Spider-Man in that her parents are fully aware of her abilities and more or less support her. She also has an excellent (and somewhat familiar) supporting cast, including the son of Spider-Man’s clone/partial Daredevil clone (or something, it’s confusing), Norman Osborne’s grandson, Felicia Hardy’s daughter, and J. Jonah Jameson’s grandson. This one has sequel magic written all over it. (credit:Marvel)
