First Look At The New “The Batman” 2021 Batcycle

And now for another action-packed adventure with Batman and maybe Robin!

Filming for the new Batman movie “The Batman” has begun in Glasgow at the Necropolis Cemetry, Scotland. On February 21, 2020, the Cemetry hosted the movie set crew. The fans managed to spot some photos as well as the new Batcycle. soyMOTERO.net

The upcoming movie is due to release on Thursday, the 25th of June 2021 in the UK and the US. Robert Pattinson is Bruce Wayne aka Batman, Colin Farrell is the Penguin, Peter Sarsgaard plays Gil Colson and Zoë Kravitz is Catwoman.

The movie focuses on the night hero's backstory, we travel back in the life story of Bruce Wayne. This also explains why Bruce is younger in 2021 than he is in Christian Bale’s, The Dark Knight Rises. 

This is a whole renewal of the character. Our new, younger, Batman is Robert Pattinson, 33-year-old British actor, riding the wave of the popular vampire in the Twilight Series. 

The Batmobile looks like a muscle car from the eighties and the Batcycle is retro-new too, but at least it’s a motorcycle. 

The new bat motorbike looks more like a Streetfighter. The air-cooled boxer engine makes for certain the donor bike is either a BMW or MotoGuzzi. Source Express Drive

Remember the previous Batcycle? It was a shoot-’em-up Batpod trike seen in The Dark Knight (2008), created by director Christopher Nolan and production designer Nathan Crowley. 

A little trivia here: the military-style look didn’t quite jive with super-hero handling because the 20-inch trike wheels were transplanted from the Tumbler (Batman’s cubism car)! Ironically, according to Return of the Cafe Racers, the engine was a water-cooled single from a Honda CRF450R dirtbike.

Just for the fun of it, let’s take a close look at the previous Batcycles over the years. 

In 1997, there was the Batblade, also known as the Redbird motorcycle from the movie Batman & Robin. That was a custom build Honda dirtbike created by TFX.

The 1966 Batmobile was a custom Yamaha Catalina 250 built by Kustomotive for 20th Century Fox and appeared in the Batman & Robin TV series from 1966 to 1968. The duo didn’t move fast on that baby.

Batman is one of the most lasting superheroes. His superpower is his great driving 😉 ! 

“Not too fast, Robin. In good bat-climbing as in good driving, one must never sacrifice safety for speed.” — Batman TV series (1966-1968) 

“The Batman” is in theatres in June 2021.
