The Jeep Renegade is a lovely car that totally pulls off its “off-roader” costume. But Batman driving it through an action scene with a dinky-ass blinker light on the roof is officially trying too hard.
In what batshit universe does Bruce Wayne, master ninja millionaire and owner of unlimited ass-kicking technology, turn to a $26,125 Italian compact car to save his beloved Gotham City under siege?
I get that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) wants to squeeze the most out of their product-placement deal by pimping their new breadwinner, but this a bigger stretch than The Hulk’s purple pants.
Looks like #Batfleck’s really working that pothole/flying building dodging ability of that electric steering assist though.
So in summary; Jeep Renegade: totally cool. Jeep Renegade as superhero car: hahaha oh Lord no.
