The Evolution of the Batmobile

Do you know how many different Batmobiles have appeared in the Batman universe across all media? No, but neither do I.

And so I offer you here for download the famous document that we have all seen somewhere but that we never find when we need it. This pdf file of 1.18 MB presents in a very visual form the most important Batmobiles to have evolved in the streets of Gotham City.

The original image (7.17 MB jpg file) is stored at this address. Get it right away if you want it, it might not stay there for long.

To find out even more and become expert on the subject, visit batmobilehistory.com (sisi, it exists ...), everything is there, classified by year, with many details and anecdotes.

Batmobile by pastormacman

Another Batmobile, but this one turns out to be pretty good in off-road mode. The MOCeur presents here a 2in1 vehicle with its configuration on one side Lowrider, similar to a Formula 1, and the configuration Off Road with a raised cockpit and wheels that move apart to better understand the terrain.

I was amazed by the photos that you urgently need to discover presented by pastormacman on his flickr gallery.

His Batmobile is in the running in the Wheels of Justice contest organized on FBTB.

BatCycle by SHARPSPEED

Here is a MOC on which I spent long minutes asking myself the following question: Did the guy who did that do it seriously or in the second degree? I still have a doubt ....

In short, we are dealing here with a new BatCycle proposed by SHARPSPEED.
On the one hand, it looks like a Pocket Bike and on the other hand I find the construction quite ingenious. The small size of the machine makes it a little ridiculous, but we find the silhouette of a BatPod ...

In terms of features, not much to report except that the machine is on the minifig scale according to its creator and that the front wheels are independent which allows a nice effect in the turns as in the photo below.

LEGO® Star Wars Sith Collection

It was after reading tonight's VIP newsletter that I asked myself the question: What if the Sith were not successful?

In fact, LEGO doubles your VIP points with the purchase of the pack 5000067 pompously titled LEGO® Star Wars Sith Collection and grouping the sets 7957 Sith Nightspeeder sold 20 € on Amazon et 7961 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator sold 48 € on Amazon.

We can already ask ourselves questions about this pack which should not interest many people and conclude without getting too wet that LEGO is trying to get rid of a few extra boxes in its stock.

If at least LEGO had made the effort to produce a new box as is the case with the usual Super Packs, I would have spent 105 € to add a new box to my collection. But there, apparently we are only entitled to a bundle of two known boxes that many of us have already purchased separately.

So, if you absolutely want to treat yourself to these two sets which frankly are only interesting the minifigs and you love the VIP points, rush on the lego shop. Otherwise, buy them on Amazon, or go your way and save your money for the 2012 novelties, you will need it ...

Nightwing Hoverbike by zenn

Another nice MOC as part of the competition organized on Eurobricks, with this very well designed hoverbike and presented on a support that conceals a construction pearl: If you look closely at the base of the MOC you will discover the Batman symbol reproduced in a very intelligent by this MOCeur.

The debate is already emerging about the paternity of this technique on flickr. zenn would have failed to credit proud love for this representation of the symbol (see image below) ....
Unless the two MOCeurs had the same idea to achieve this result .....

Anyway, this MOC which also features Mr Freeze and the Joker is a great success. The machine is interesting, the base is ingeniously designed and the final rendering is worthy of a good place in the competition Eurobricks LEGO Batman Contest.
