Batman can't use that vehicle (*Cool though it is ), as it has a gun.  Batman never uses a gun.  Unless of course it shot ink or a net or something.


Obviously it will then be used to project Bat-Ink, a Bat-Net or a Bat-Grappling Hook. Or Bat-Nazi-Repellant-Spray. lol

Batman used to use guns all the time. You can't fight ratzis without guns, even Captain America has a gun for WWII

Unfortunately I could not see the photos.

The current BAT is antigun, won't use them in the movies or in the current comic books.  Now he is politically correct, otherwise he and Captain America would likely be fighting Arabs.  Although that does give me an idea for a scanario........

Just to clarify, it's not about political correctness,or being current. Deep in batman's modus operandi is the fact that Thomas and Martha Wayne were shot and killed, part of Bruce's vow was to avenge without killing.

The early 'tec and batman & world's finest comics did feature a darker, weaponed batman, this was quickly dropped, (as DC took hold of the character and ensured continuity) however during WWII guns did feature as this was more about positive war propaganda rather than accuracy of the character. (P.S. Golden Age Bat's is from Earth 2).

Although before Batman 'died' in crisis he did use a gun on DarkSeid; with the same Radion bullet that killed Orion, while Darkseid simultaneously Omega Sanctions Batman. Darkseid is hit in the shoulder, but not before his Omega Sanction "kills" him. Batman's charred remains are found by Superman, who confronts Darkseid.

Check out The Ultimates 2, volume 1 iirc, for the Avengers (retold in a contemporary setting) deploying in a foreign country...

I am an avid Golden Age comic collector and the Bat Man did indeed use a gun early in his career.  He did later drop it but he did use one during the early war years.

Modern day Batman has also picked up a gun or two with Batman: Year 2 having him using one against the Reaper.



To Commander
Technically, the Bat Man's mom died from a heart attack from the shock of seeing her husband killed in the Golden Age cannon.  Bruce also ends up marring Catwoman and having a daughter called the Huntress.  He even gave up the cowl and became Gotham's police commissioner.

DC revamped all the Golden Age stuff by writing up the whole Earth 2 BS.

Yup well aware of Earth 2 back story, (you meant back story shortened to BS right?  ;)). Crisis infinite crisis and everything that DC have done like Marvel continue to do in respect to trying to squeeze everything into acceptable timelines and continuities, (it really does my head in sometimes).

Not a fan of golden age personally, (bat mite must die!!!) but have been a collector now for around 21 years, current RIP and Reborn storylines are a little hit and miss but it's great to have Dick Grayson in the costume...albeit only for a while.

Though Damien on the other hand... where's that toll free number again?  Come back Jason all is forgiven!

That is really a nicely themed set of minis, I would like to play a game agianst batman, his little tank and the bat swarms. In game terms another figure would add balace I think, the driver who could be Robin or Alfred I guess....
