, directed by Christopher Nolan, is the second film in The Dark Knight Trilogy and is widely considered one of the greatest superhero films ever made. The 2008 film follows Batman, Lieutenant James Gordon, and District Attorney Harvey Dent as they try to take down Gotham City's organized crime, only to be faced with the Joker, a criminal mastermind who seeks to create chaos and anarchy. The movie is praised for its gritty, realistic tone and Heath Ledger's iconic, Oscar-winning performance as the Joker.

The Batmobile in The Dark Knight trilogy is an armored military prototype known as the "Tumbler". Its design was conceived by blending a Lamborghini and a Humvee, giving it the presence of a tank but the speed of a sports car. The vehicle is equipped with weapons, a jet engine for "rampless jumps," and heavily armored plating for ramming through barriers. It also has a unique feature where, if damaged, the front wheels can eject and form a motorcycle-like vehicle called the Batpod, while the rest of the Tumbler self-destructs. This version of the Batmobile was built to be a functional, high-performing vehicle rather than just a prop.
