Licensing Expo 2015 kicked off with a bang as Warner Bros. Consumer Products has just publicly unveiled a Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice display featuring the new Batmobile front and center.
Along with the new Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman costumes were also present.
Collider recorded a video of the Bat-engine revving.

Accompanying the Batmobile is a new official description of the vehicle, along with technical specifications that hint at how Batman might use the Batmobile in combat.
Part of the description reads: 'Over powered with an unmatched hybrid of prototype military and civilian performance technologies, this top machine has been estimated to reach speeds of up to 205 MPH.'
'The Batmobile’s imposing defense capabilities, supported by stole Wayne Industries technologies, have been integrated with the latest in covert military grade armaments, stealth and active protective systems.'
Facts:
– Twin .50 caliber retractable machine gun turret
– Fully armored
– Stealth-capable
– Active Protection Systems/Anti-ballistics
– 20 ft. long/12 ft. wide
– 7000 lbs.
Fortunately, the Caped Crusader is expected to be an aged, tech-savvy hero, noting that the Batmobile was “single-handedly designed and fabricated in near complete seclusion by The Batman.”
The much-awaited film is set to open worldwide on March 25, 2016.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, Batman characters created by Bob Kane, and Wonder Woman created by William Moulton Marston, appearing in comic books published by DC Entertainment.
The film is directed by Zack Snyder and introducing Ben Affleck as Batman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman alongside the returning Henry Cavill as Superman.
It also stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane returning from Man of Steel, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, and Holly Hunter in a role newly created for the film. Jason Momoa will also be making an appearance as Aquaman.
Snyder took to social media to give sneak peaks into the movie including costumes and posters.
