Batman fans are in for an exciting opportunity to bring home a piece of Gotham—Warner Bros. has announced it will produce 10 limited-edition Tumbler replicas, the iconic Batmobile from The Dark Knight trilogy, available for purchase at an eye-watering $3 million each. Known for its rugged design and powerful features, the Tumbler captivated audiences when it debuted in Christopher Nolan’s 2005 film Batman Begins and became one of the most recognizable vehicles in cinematic history.
The custom-built replicas promise to be as close as possible to the Tumblers seen on screen, complete with functioning smoke screens and jet engine simulation to replicate the Batmobile’s intense, crime-fighting aura. Each Tumbler will come equipped with a high-performance 6.2-litre Chevrolet LS3 engine delivering 525 horsepower, paired with a GM 4L85E transmission—comparable to the setup used in vehicles like the GMC Savana and Chevrolet Suburban. This gives the Tumbler immense power, directed to its massive rear wheels, with an exterior crafted from durable Kevlar, carbon fibre, and fibreglass for strength and authenticity.
While the Christopher Nolan Batman Tumbler is not street-legal, it has been outfitted with a luxurious yet rugged interior that ensures buyers feel like a true vigilante when they climb inside. The cabin features custom seating, a five-point racing harness, a GPS, and a 10-inch display. Not forgetting practicality, Warner Bros. has added air conditioning for comfort, keeping occupants cool as they role-play their Batman fantasies. Buyers can also opt for left- or right-hand drive configurations to suit their preferences, with speed readings available in miles or kilometres per hour.
In addition to its state-of-the-art mechanical features, Warner Bros. offers customization options so buyers can personalize their Tumblers. The vehicle will be hand-built over an estimated 15-month period, providing the kind of bespoke luxury generally reserved for supercars. Constructed with aeronautical-grade steel, this limited edition Batmobile is expected to weigh around 5,511 pounds, with disc brakes all around to manage its powerful momentum.

The Christopher Nolan Batman Tumbler joins a lineup of high-end items recently launched by Warner Bros.’s lifestyle brand. These include $1,500 skincare products and a $21,000 lamp in the shape of a mushroom, all aimed at elite collectors and superfans. This Batmobile, however, might just be the crown jewel of the collection.
For fans who aren’t quite ready to commit to the $3 million price tag, Warner Bros. is also offering a more budget-friendly option—a $635 1/6-scale replica from Hot Toys, ideal for display on a shelf. While it may not be road-ready, it offers a slice of Gotham without breaking the bank.
This exclusive Tumbler initiative shows Warner Bros.’s innovative approach to fan engagement, transforming the beloved cinematic symbol into a real-world collectable. For the 10 owners, it promises a one-of-a-kind experience, immersing them in Batman’s superhero legacy.
