Stan Building
-The Batmobile-
Shortly after the murder on Thomas and Martha Wayne, businessman William Earle took control over Wayne Enterprises. It didn’t take long for him to move away from Thomas’ morals and ideas for the company as he began focusing solely on making as much profit as possible. When the government of the United States asked Wayne Enterprises to create weapons for the military in return for a hefty amount of money, he immediately agreed. Lucius Fox was one of the people working on designing new military vehicles. He came up with the WE-278 “Trojan Horse” prototype; a heavily armored troop transport that can ram through enemy defenses and walls with ease in order to drop several troops right in enemy territory. The prototype was eventually actually produced and tested, but Earle shut down the project before it could be finalized and actually used in the military.
Years later, Lucius was demoted by Earle to the Applied Sciences Division. The “Trojan Horse” and other rejected prototypes of his are gathering dust in this part of the Wayne Tower. However, as Bruce Wayne reappears in the public eye again after years, Lucius is surprised about his interest in his division when he visits the Tower. Bruce especially takes a liking to the Trojan Horse, and after a quick test ride he asks if the vehicle also comes in black.
After replacing the spots to carry soldiers with compartments to store gadgets, a new paint job and a better engine the prototype has been dubbed the “Batmobile” and is now in use by the Dark Knight during night patrols. Although the vehicle lacks any actual weapons, the fact it can achieve a top speed of 45 miles per hour, can ram through almost any barricade and has very strong armor still makes the Batmobile very useful.
After returning home from a long shift at the Wayne Tower, Lucius Fox turns on the tv to watch his favorite show. However, the broadcast is interrupted by a breaking newsflash showing the mysterious vigilante known as Batman getting pursued by the GCPD in a tank-like vehicle. It doesn’t take long for Lucius to connect the dots as he sees his rejected prototype driving through the streets of Gotham.

My take on the Batmobile, heavily inspired by the Tumbler design from Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. Enjoy!
