The Tumbler was a big part of what helped keep Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy grounded. The other big screen iterations of the Batmobile felt more like gothic James Bond cars full of gadgets. And while The Tumbler certainly has some useful tools within it, the fact that it feels like a real military vehicle adds a certain amount of ground-level authenticity to Batman's arsenal.
Speaking of The Tumbler's tools, for The Dark Knight, the new print from Nicholas Moegly features Batman speeding through Gotham in the smaller Batpod, which breaks out from the damaged Tumbler during a chase with The Joker. In fact, you can see the silhouette of the villain as Batman speeds towards him on the streets of Gotham, just before he makes a sudden turn to avoid breaking his one rule.
