Back in 2016, Mercedes rolled out a stunning electric concept car at Pebble Beach called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6:
Needless to say the car never saw production, but it is returning, at least on the silver screen. Here's a Tweet from comic book writer Grace Randolph, who was on the set of The Flash this week and leaked some set photos:
To fill you in, in the movie Michael Keaton is playing an older version of the Batman/Bruce Wayne iteration that he last played in 1992's Batman Returns. And this older Bruce Wayne, well, he drives the 6.
More images of the original concept from Mercedes:
It's a helluva lot classier than any of the Batmobiles.
As for how this happened: The Drive reports that Mercedes has a product placement deal with DC Films.

No, it's NOT classier than any of the Batmobiles. The only way one could say this is if they were unfamiliar with the history of Batmobiles that goes all the way back to the late 1930s Graham. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2014/03/was-the-first-batmobile-a-coffin-nosed-cord-or-a-graham-sharknose-part-one/
