In this latest edition of “Jay Lenos Garage”, Warner Bros. Transportation Coordinator Hobart Lundt takes comedian and NBC Tonight Show host Jay Leno out for a super-fun ride in the custom-built Tumbler “Batmobile” from Chris Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Some of our BTM staff have had the thrill of seeing and hearing this car start up on the Warner Bros. backlot among the other Batmobiles in storage and the word that always rings true is “impressive”. Jay Leno is no stranger to cars built like a tank (no, this is true, he owns a tank car!) and even he can’t help get caught up in the excitement of sitting in Batman’s car and experiencing the roar of the engine. If you’ve ever wondered about the origin, construction challenges, costs and what lies under the hood of this uber-iconic star-car, then check out the video above.

Jay does many great car reviews which can be seen on his website here:  http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/
