Re: The Dark Knight: 1/6th scale Batmobile Collectible (relaunch)
The Tumbler is only the Tumbler when it has camo on it, just like Batman's suit is the nomex survival suit before he paints it black.
Once we see the Tumbler black, it becomes the Batmobile. Once the suit becomes black and he attaches the symbol, it is the batsuit.
Make no mistake, it IS the Batmobile in Batman Begins. In the Batman Begins script, as soon as it is introduced (not counting the test drive), you know "I bought mine", "I've got to get me one of those" it is referred to as THE BATMOBILE from that point on. In The Dark Knight when it bursts onto the garage scene it is referred to as THE BATMOBILE.
BATMAN
I bought mine.
Batman has disappeared into the dark end of the alley.
GORDON
Yours?
BLINDING HEADLIGHTS FLARE. A MASSIVE ENGINE ROARS-
Gordon DIVES out of the way as-
The BATMOBILE comes flying out of the darkness... the
matteblack, muscularity of the stealth-finished "car" BLOWS
by. Gordon’s jaw drops.
A HUGE BLACK SHAPE SLAMS down onto a row of parked cars. The
BATMOBILE.
SCARECROW
That's more like it.
The Chechen'smen BLAST away at the front of the car: the
bullets SPARK off its monstrous surface harmlessly...
INT. BATMOBILE-- CONTINUOUS
