10 Best Moments From Batman: Zero Year – Dark City

10. The Leaping Batmobile

Batmobile 25 In one of the opening scenes of Dark City, Batman's being chased by the GCPD, establishing that it's early days yet and he's still looked upon as an enemy than an ally in the fight against crime. But what's that Batman's driving? It's not the sleek, dark beast of the Batmobile we're used to seeing, it's this weird... gold and blue thing? It's the amazing leaping Batmobile! So the GCPD drive Batman into a tunnel at the end of which is a police blockade €“ they've got him, they think. And then Batman hits a switch and suddenly the Batmobile starts changing until it leaps over the blockade to freedom! Capullo said in an interview what a headache it is for him sometimes when receiving a script from Snyder €“ it takes Snyder a minute to write "and then the Batmobile changes and it's able to leap/fly" and it takes him hours, if not days, to figure out the logistics of what that would conceivably look like. But the results are undeniable €“ the Leaping Batmobile has leapt into the pantheon of greatest Batmobile designs ever!
