Holy Renegade Batman! Jeep partners with the Dark Knight for Batman V. Superman

Given his status as a billionaire CEO, Bruce Wayne has the luxury of driving just about anything he wants. There’s the Batmobile, of course, but if he’s feeling a bit more subtle, his jet black Lamborghini Murcielago (Spanish for bat, by the way) never disappoints.

Both of those choices lack practicality though, which is why there’s a new spot in the Batcave for the 2016 Jeep Renegade Dawn of Justice Special Edition. Just announced by Jeep, the vehicle celebrates a marketing relationship between Warner Bros. Pictures and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, who will “address every automobile need for the movie.”

“Our partnership with Warner Bros. and the highly anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film allows us to expose the Jeep Renegade and its best-in-class capability to an incredibly vast audience,” said Mike Manley, Head of Jeep Brand. “The new Jeep Renegade Dawn of Justice Special Edition boasts a unique, dark appearance package for the most capable small SUV that we’re confident consumers — including millions of moviegoers — will love.”

The crossover — which is featured in several advertisements for the film — is available in dealerships now for $26,250, and wears either a Granite Crystal or Carbon Black exterior finish. The Renegade also equips 18-inch gloss-black wheels, a two-tone roof, unique exterior badging, and an all-black interior to match Batman’s cape cowl. Mechanically, the Dawn of Justice Special Edition is identical to the Jeep Renegade Latitude 4×4, which comes standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed gearbox. The featured vehicle is fitted with remote start, a power driver’s seat, and dual-zone automatic temperature control, however.

Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, and Jessie Eisenberg, and opens in the U.S. on March 25.

The best superhero deaths in movies, ranked
Robert Downey Jr. In Avengers: Endgame.

One of the most common features in superhero movies is someone close to the protagonist getting killed off. Gwen Stacy's brutal death in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Jonathan Kent getting killed by a tornado in Man of Steel are just two such tragedies that come to mind.

Although rare, there are times when the heroes themselves get the ax. Many movies have shown superheroes die in ways both noble and tragic, from self-sacrifice to a brutal battle with the film's villain. The demises on this list prove that being a crime-fighter isn't all fun and games, so be prepared to cry all over again with the best superhero deaths in movies.
