In the film, billionaire Bruce Wayne (Batman), played by the actor Christian Bale, can be seen driving the Lamborghini supercar during his private life, when he does not use his Batmobile.
Powered by a 12-cylinder, 6-2 liter/580-hp engine, the Murcielago Roadster can be equipped with a manual gearbox or with a robotized "e-gear" system. It promises acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds and claims a maximum speed of 198
The Lamborghini was a natural choice for Batman, as the way its doors open perfectly matches the image of the superhero speading his wings. Furthermore, the name Murcielago means "bat" in Spanish.
The film was released in the United States and the rest of the world on June 15th.
