Batman is Back. And Gordon Murray has designed his Batmobile

June 19,2011

If ever there was one car that could double as the Batmobile straight from the showroom, it would have to be the McLaren F1. Exotic, unbelievably high-performance and rare as a sane person in Arkham, the big M wouldn’t even need a Bat logo to look like it had just rocketed from a cave beneath Wayne Manor.

Now, fiction follows real life as Professor Gordon Murray, the legendary designer of the McLaren F1, has created a vehicle for the Caped Crusader for Batman Live, a live-action stage/arena version of the DC comics superhero. The Batman Live Batmobile looks conspicuously like a Caparo T1, which was also developed by engineers from the McLaren F1 road car team.

Though we wouldn’t be the first in line to watch a show where Batman warbles his way while fighting crime, the sight of a Gordon Murray-designed Batmobile should be worth the price of admission.

Here’s more on the Batman musical. Thanks to Lesley for the tip:

For the first time in DC Comics history, see Batman the world’s most popular DC Super Hero as you’ve never seen him before, in an all-new, live-action arena adventure, set to take the world by storm. Premiering in the UK in Summer 2011, Batman Live – World Arena Tour is a multi-million pound stage production of unprecedented scale and a must-see for families and Batman fans everywhere.

Based on an original story being created exclusively for the show, Batman Live is a theatrical extravaganza of thrilling stunts, acrobatic acts and illusions. Never before has Gotham City, Wayne Manor, the Batcave and Arkham Asylum been brought to life on stage in a more visually exciting way. Join Batman and Robin as they battle their nemesis The Joker and other super-villains such as The Riddler, Catwoman, The Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, set on destroying Gotham City.

Totally authentic, bold and awe-inspiring, Batman Live will be a completely new way to experience the world of Batman. This is one adventure you do not want to miss!
