The Batmobile has been big in the news lately with Zack Snyder releasing an official image of The Dark Knight’s redesigned ride for Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice and various Detroit locals posting their own shots of the car on the streets. The latest batch of images are unique, though, in that they offer some perspective on the Batmobile’s real size and visual effect compared to normal, street-legal cars — and it’s truly something to behold.

Posted over on AutoBlog, the photos show the Batmobile cruising around the streets of Detroit and parked in various locations. There are quite a few images, and they offer a great indication of how the latest iteration of the Batmobile has blended much of what’s come before into its new design — most notably the functional, militaristic aspects of Christopher Nolan’s version of the Batmobile with the domed cockpit of Tim Burton’s iteration.

The photos also provide some perspective on how much wider and longer than regular vehicles this version of the Batmobile is, as well as how overt the weapon placement is on the car. Earlier versions of the Batmobile often hid the guns and other obvious weaponry within the body of the vehicle, but this one seems to show little concern for subtlety.

You can view all of the photos at AutoBlog, but here are a few highlights:

Kia EV4: everything we know so far
Kia EV4 Front

Kia is continuing to expand its electric car lineup. The EV6 and EV9 have both been out for some time now, and the company is in the middle of rolling out the EV3 in Europe, with a North American release expected next year. After that, it's likely the company will turn to the EV5. But what about after that? Well, that could be where the Kia EV4 comes in.

Kia announced a concept version of the EV4 at its EV Day in 2023, showing off a futuristic-looking hatchback that's seemingly a little smaller than the EV6, but keeps many design elements. Since then, Kia has confirmed very few details about it, though we have seen it shown off at other automotive events. Here's everything we know about the Kia EV4 so far.
Kia EV4 design
The Kia EV4, or at least the concept version of it, is smaller than the EV6, and much smaller than the EV9. It's actually closer in size to a sedan than anything else, though with its open trunk, it could be considered a hatchback. Regardless, it certainly blurs the line between the two. So much so, that in recent months we've actually seen a full hatchback version of the EV4 being tested -- and it's possible that Kia is pivoting the design of the EV4 entirely to be a hatch, or will be releasing both hatchback and sedan versions.
