Dive deeper into the history of one of the most famous pop-culture vehicles of all time: the Batmobile.
The Batmobile first appeared in the television series starring Adam West. The base car was a Lincoln Futura customized by celebrated automotive designer George Barris. The most iconic Batmobile set a world record on January 19, 2013, selling at the Barrett-Jackson auction for USD 4.2 million.
Batmobile Specs:
In Tim Burton’s movie starring Michael Keaton, Batman returned to the big screen for the first time since 1966. The Batmobile was created with a combination of aggression and classic design aesthetics of the 1930s. This matt-black weapon was notable for its front-mounted turbine front and simple yet potent gadgets. The production team spliced together two Impala chassis’ and inserted a Chevy V8 powerplant to build this Batmobile.
In Joel Schumacher’s first iteration of the caped crusader, the Batmobile was designed by Barbara Ling, who wanted the vehicle to have a more organic aesthetic. Her creation appeared to have ribs and wings and the engine panels, wheels, and undercarriage glowed blue. This Batmobile was destroyed partway through Batman Forever when The Riddler deposited a sack full of explosives in the cockpit.
Schumacher’s second Batman film starred George Clooney and another Ling-designed Batmobile, inspired by racing roadsters such as the Jaguar D Type and Delahaye 165. Ling created an open-air car, true to the comics of yesteryear. The new Batmobile was about 30 feet long – one of the longest Batmobiles in the car’s entire history.
Batman & Robin Car:
Affectionately known as “The Tumbler,” the Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale-era Batmobile was Designed by Crowley & Nolan, whose primary focus was to make this vehicle as real-looking as possible. It weighed 2.5 tons but could still top 0-60mph in less than six seconds. It had a top speed of 110mph and could also make unassisted jumps of up to 30 feet. The 500-HP Chevy 350 V8 engine turned four 44” Super Swamper tires. The Tumbler reappeared in The Dark Knight with new modes such as “Loiter” and “Intimidate.”
Ben Affleck will don the armored suit for the Zack Snyder-directed release. As with Batman Begins, one of the first sneak-peek images released from the movie to the public was of the Batmobile. The latest version borrows styling cues from several previous Batmobile incarnations. It has a similar side-profile and split clamshell canopy to the Burton and Schumacher-era Batmobiles, with Tumbler-style knobbly tires and aero flaps. There is also a front-mounted double-barrel gun turret for good measure.
