Justice League: Explore Batman’s Flying Fox

Justice League: Explore Batman’s Flying Fox

A new promo video has been released online for the Justice League movie featuring a 360-degree look at Batman’s Flying Fox vehicle.

The video is embedded below, but I’m not sure how it will play as it’s from Facebook. Here is the original link. You can swipe from left to right to see the effect in action.

The Flying Fox is described as:

When your archenemy is holed up halfway around the world, though, you also need a way to transport your weapons, along with your fellow superheroes. The largest vehicle in Batman’s mobile arsenal, The Flying Fox, is a hybrid aircraft with the capability of a bomber and the maneuverability of a jet fighter. Reaching speeds of nearly 1,000 miles-per-hour, with an attack altitude of up to 50,000 feet, it also has vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities. The Flying Fox consists of three large-scale levels and can even carry the newly augmented Batmobile inside.

The whole of The Flying Fox interior was built on a soundstage, with the exterior built in post. Tatopoulos admits it was his favorite set. “On every movie, there’s a little thing that gets me pumped up. This is the one that I really got excited about on this film. It’s a bomber but I wanted it to look like a jet, with the cockpit very far back and a very long front nose like you see in WWII fighter jets. In fact, I was very much influenced by the Spitfire. I’ve always been fascinated by those planes; I love how the pilot is way back and it’s almost like you’re sitting on the biggest engine on the planet and you’re flying that thing. A much more modern approach to jets is to have the cockpit in the front, but I think the more traditional design works with Bruce Wayne and his classic sensibility. And if you look at the elements of the jet, they look like they were collected together and articulated; it’s a very similar language to the car. So, it’s something new but without losing the Batman aesthetic.”

Justice League has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder, with the story by Chris Terrio and Zack Snyder, the screenplay by Chris Terrio and Joss Whedon, and stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe an Atlantean, Nuidis Vulko.

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
