Which Bat Mobile?

1 Attachment(s)

I prefer the first one. Second one in a pinch. The others are just dumb (IMO).

As far as the Batman franchise I only care for the original TV show and movie … campiness at its best. The rest are too dark for my tastes. I think I saw two and that was enough for me.

No contest. The first one wins!

I'd have one if I had a few million bucks burning a hole in my pocket.

First one is, by far, the best. My second choice would be the car of the Michael Keaton Batman movies. The exposed front wheels one is f-ugly and stupid design to me.

Same. There's a lot of replicas out there too of the Tim Burton Version.

If I remember right, the whole thing was built on a new (at the time) chevy caprice chassis.

Dang that's nice Killer Bee. Hard to beat the original.

Fun trivia:

Holy Expensive Car, Batman!

The first, of course. I enjoyed the first movie and I thought they got the car right. It must have come out in '89. We saw it in Flagstaff while on vacation when I took the '71 Cheyenne Custom Camper (I used to have) out there. I don't know anything about the other movies or cars.

First one for sure. West was a cool cat. He and my cousin were engaged in the 60s. She was half his age, they never married.
