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 EV3 vs Tesla Model Y: Can Kia’s new entry-level car take on Tesla?
White Kia EV3

The Kia EV3 is finally coming, and it could well end up being the best small-size electric SUV to buy when it finally rolls out. It's smaller than the Kia EV9, but it offers many of the same design elements and features. But there's another small-size electric car that's currently one of the most popular vehicles out there -- the Tesla Model Y.

How does the Kia EV3 compare with the Tesla Model Y? And is one vehicle actually better than the other? We put the Kia EV3 and the Tesla Model Y head-to-head to find out.
Design
The design of the Kia EV3 is very different than that of the Model Y, though they're both reasonably good-looking vehicles.

Entry-level Cadillac Optiq EV promises 300 miles of range for $54,000
2025 Cadillac Optiq front three quarter view.

The 2025 Cadillac Optiq will be the General Motors luxury brand's entry-level EV when it starts production late this fall. But it won't have entry-level specs.

After unveiling the Optiq in November 2023, Cadillac is now filling in some of the blanks on this electric crossover SUV's spec sheet. We now know that the Optiq will feature a standard dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain tuned for 300 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque, along with an 85-kilowatt-hour battery pack providing an estimated range of over 300 miles. Like other GM EVs, the Optiq will be capable of one-pedal driving, with regenerative braking adjustable via a steering wheel paddle.

2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally first drive: old pony learns new trick
2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally driving on dirt.

With its Mustang Mach-E, Ford promised an electric SUV imbued with the spirit of the iconic Mustang performance car. Now well into its production run, the Mach-E is living up to its Mustang billing in that, like the traditional internal-combustion Mustang coupe and convertible, Ford wants to grow the herd of Mach-E variants.

Introduced for the 2021 model year, the Mach-E is nearing the point where most vehicles would see a redesign, or at least a major update. That seems especially pressing given the accumulation of fresher competition in the form of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Chevrolet Blazer EV. But instead of a redesign, the big news for the 2024 Mustang Mach-E is a new Rally model designed for dirt-road driving.
