The Dark Knight will be using a lot of cool gizmos and gadgets, as he always does, when he goes on an all-out brawl with the Man of Steel in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." But what fans undoubtedly cannot wait to see in action is the film's iteration of the Batmobile.

Recently, Batman's ride was shown off from every angle in a video posted by Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood as it invites fans to join a contest that would win them a studio tour and a chance to be in the driver's seat of the iconic, gadget-laden vehicle. 

This is the first time fans get such a comprehensive look at the vehicle. From the looks of it, the automobile, which has served as Batman's most dependable weapon, looks prepped up to take on the superhero from Krypton. 

Comic Book Resources says that design seems to have come from both the comics and the Batman films by Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan. It is both a new and familiar design and possibly the coolest there is, as some fans think.  

Meanwhile, on the subject of change, familiarity and everything Batman depends on, his legendary butler Alfred is also one to get an overhaul in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." The character, to be played by Jeremy Irons, is expected to be more positive and, interestingly, capable of handing a beatdown. 

"Zack Snyder, the director, wanted to create a completely different Alfred. So I felt I didn't have to carry any baggage from previous ones. It's sort of a reincarnation if you'd like," Irons told Toronto Sun. "I had a feeling I was creating my own Alfred, more of a man who can actually do anything if he has to." 

How changed Alfred in the movie will be remains to be seen. Nevertheless, he is still one of the characters Batman fans look forward to seeing. 

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" hits the theatres March 25, 2016.
