Best Batmobiles

Limited to theatrically-released movies.





 


 

10. FIRST LEGO VERSION

The LEGO Movie

Way too bulky, not a fan.



 


9. THE “CLASSIC”

Batman (1966)

Many nostalgic Boomers obnoxiously assert it was the last Batmobile with “class,” but it’s a lame design that only gets credit for its iconic status.  Not even a legit Batmobile design, just an uglified Lincoln Futura concept.

 





8. THE SECOND SCHUMACHER VERSION

Batman & Robin

This is a disappointedly lame design after so many good ones.  Derivative version of the classic Batmobile format without much setting it apart to look good.







7. THE SECOND LEGO VERSION

The LEGO Batman Movie

Much more svelte and aggressive than the previous model.  Looks like something out of Mad Max.





6. THE MUSCLE CAR

The Batman

A good example of an earlier Batmobile built from a stock car.  It’s also involved in an excellent chase scene and makes a frighteningly demonic screech.  The gorgeous cinematography helps a lot.  

 

 

 


5. THE ANIMATED VERSION

BTAS, Mask of the Phantasm

Like the Burton version with a little more class, but not quite as as aggressive looking.

 




4. DCEU VERSION

BvS, Justice League

Looks pretty awesome.  Sleek, but awkward from some angles.





3. THE BURTON VERSION

Batman, Batman Returns

The first true Batmobile on the big screen.  It’s a classic design, and it has a distinctly sinister face.  I think its the malicious-looking of all the Batmobiles and that edges it out over the Tumbler.  


 



2. THE TUMBLER

The Dark Knight Trilogy

The most unique, alien design of them all.  I love how they went into the logistics of why it is the way it is.





1. THE FIRST SCHUMACHER VERSION

Batman Forever

I know this is unpopular, but this is my favorite.  It takes the classic layout and makes it look as gothic as possible while having a nice face.  The wheel fenders and the headlights also give it a nice retro look.  It would be a perfect Batmobile for all occasions with its blue lighting and wheels blacked out, but it’s still perfect for its movie’s aesthetic as it is.  Destroying this car was one of the more annoying things Jim Carrey did in this movie, and that's saying something.
