The Batman: Batmobile

A few years back, I was brought onboard by Production Designer James Chinlund to create designs for the new Batmobile. These are the final renders for the front end theme I designed for the Batmobile. My original designs were based on representing aggression - the ability to ram things in the case of a vehicle. Most of my early concepts featured solid metal ramming bumpers reinforced by steel braces that ran the length of the car, cutting in and out of the bodywork and forming structural protection for the driver and mounting points for dual engines.

I'll be posting early concepts of my original design theme, of which the front was picked to be we worked to fit alongside a design theme Ash Thorp was working up simultaneously. In the early stages of production, I had the privilege of collaborating with good friend Colie Wertz to translate this theme from 2D and rough 3D into a complete design model that we passed on to the fantastic art directors who designed the final detailed 3D model for the build.
