Batman Begins was the first of many trucks owned by KC's Fireworks that were constructed in partnership with Warner Bros. and drew on the company's pre-existing intellectual property. The truck made its debut in early 2007 and was heavily based on the Tumbler featured in the 2005 film, 'Batman Begins'. The truck's design varied across its roughly year-long run and briefly featured a comic-style graphic of Batman himself, but predominantly ran a more minimal version of the design, excluding this graphic.
