Warner Bros. is selling 10 “fully functional but not street legal” Tumbler Batmobiles seen in The Dark Knight trilogy from director Christopher Nolan. Each model is priced at $3 million or around R52 million, in case you have that kind of money laying around just like billionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne.
The Tumbler Batmobile first made its debut in 2005’s Batman Begins starring Christian Bale. At the time of filming, the crew managed to make it fully functional so what you’re seeing in the final movie is a stuntman actually driving the behemoth vehicle. The good news is that you can now own one too. Warner Bros. Discovery is selling 10 Tumbler Batmobiles that were made for the filming of The Dark Knight trilogy at $3 million a piece, though it’s by invitation only.
Times Live reports that when converting this to South African rands, it totals up to R52 million – more specifically, R52.8 million. It’s a two-seater vehicle powered by a 6.2l petrol engine with outputs of 390kW and 659Nm. The body is made of Kevlar, carbon fibre, steel and fibreglass, mounted on a tubular frame made of aeronautical steel. Sadly, it doesn’t come fitted with all the fancy Batman gadgetry and weapons you saw in the movies. You won’t be able to take it to the streets anyway, so seems like this is one for rich collectors only.

Christopher Nolan is currently working on a new untitled movie set to release in 2026 starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway and Matt Damon. Early reports claim it’s a 1920s vampire horror movie. It’s unlikely that the director will ever return to the Batman franchise – or any superhero movie for that matter – as he stated in 2023 that he’s no longer interested in making comic book movies.
