Many actors have taken on the challenge of representing the cape and cowl over the years, though I never envisioned Jay Leno as one of them.

To be fair, he's not donning the costume anytime soon, but he did grace us with his best Batman impression during his new TV spot for Jay Leno's Garage. The season premiere will look to up the ante of his previous reveals, such as his Lamborghini and Jaguar rooms, with a vehicle that could run circles around anything else on the street. That vehicle is the brand new Batmobile.

Fans will get an up-close look at Batman's updated ride, and the self-proclaimed Denim Knight actually gets to sit inside. While he's impressed at all the tech at his disposal, he's not so sure about all the buttons.

For people who have seen Zack Snyder's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, you might not see a huge difference between the updated vehicle and the new version. You'd be right, as no armor improvements have been made, and design wise the vehicle is exactly the same.

That said, it has received some new machine guns that are mounted on the front and on the sides, and is also carrying some cannons and missile launchers. The events of Batman v. Superman have not changed his opinion on "non-lethal" it would seem. I know it was Superman who beat up his last car, but you still think he would at least make some minor improvements to the armor. Superman batted that thing away like someone swats a gnat.

You can see the new car up close when Jay Leno's Garage premieres its second season tonight at 10pm on CNBC.
