Ok, so we've had the Tumbler and Bat-Pod thus far... What else could WB unveil for a potential sequel?
All I know is that I really don't want a rehash of Batman Forever with a Batwing, Batmobile and Robin...

Don't forget the Batboat that became the Batsub!
I'd love to see the Batwing again. It was (as the Bat-gyro) the original vehicle with a Bat-motif. But I don't really see him needing to use it around Gotham unless there's some kind of aerial attack that he could anticipate and build the Batwing for in time.

Here's an idea; as a plot point, he has to rush his building of this new "Batwing," and as such, it malfunctions while forcing him to evacuate. This would allow Hasbro to still manufacture the toys for the tie-in without the Batcave accumulating more "toys" of its own

^ Nice. That reminds me of how I watch B89 in the context that the Batwing just got built and his targeting system is immediately faulty and couldn't be fixed when he tries to shoot Joker ;D
Since we've established a docks area in these films, I reckon that a Batboat would make sense. In Moench and Gulacy's "Terror," Batman uses a Batboat on mobsters and the flamethrower gets out of hand and he notes to make the proper changes when he returns home. Unfortunately, there wasn't a payoff to this as the Batboat doesn't appear in the rest of the story.

I remember that! I think elements like this could work well in a Batman film and add a slight dash of comedy (remember Iron Man's tests? )

^ Yeah, for some reason, I just got the idea of Batman trying to shoot just a little bit of the flamethrower from the Batboat and it, instead, goes in a different direction and burns Wayne Enterprises-owned property. Then, Batman goes

i think in the original bat movie the width of the placements of the missiles and gunds were to far apart and the Joker just stood in the right place at the right time to not get hit...and you think batman could have used a little more armour on that thing to not blow up with a shot from a hand gun...alright so it was from a giant dirty harry magnum but still...great thinking Bruce...I don't want to see anything new...again he is just starting out...maybe talk about new vehicles and show shom design sketches on the walls of the caves but nothing fabricated yet...toy manufacturers can use those sketches and maybe make toys out of those??

I like the idea of "planning for the future" as a sort of way to end/"begin" the next wave of hypothetical films.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around a Bat-Pod?? and it looks more like a motorcycle than a pod...there's nothing covering him?? does it shoot out the front of the B-mobile??If he was gonna use a 2 wheeled contraption he should have used the bicycles from the turn of the century the ones with the extremely large front tire and the really small back tire and needing to use a tree to get on the frackin thing!!!...then I guess Batman would have to grow mutton chops and that takes away from the whole scaring the criminals...what were we talking about again?

Well, rest assured that one of the toy versions has the Bat-Pod emerge from the Tumbler ;D
