When you consider Batman patrolling the streets of Gotham hunting his Rogues Gallery and striking fear into the hearts of potential enemies, your mind inevitably conjures the image of the Batmobile. Over the years, Batman’s iconic car has undergone multiple redesigns, largely aligned with the director’s vision for the Dark Knight, but it’s always been his primary mode of transport. It hasn’t, however, been the only one parked in the Batcave.
While the Batmobile feels as important to Batman as the Batsuit and Cave, a major part of Bruce Wayne’s story is his wealth and access to ridiculous tech resources. His untold riches mean he can basically build anything he wants alongside his flagship muscle car, and in the comics, he has a vast array of vehicles, including a rocket, a blimp, a subway rocket, and a giant Bat mech robosuit. The fact that you’ve seen none of those in movies shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, given the logistics.
But beyond those wilder options, Batman’s movie history has included a surprisingly high number of vehicles alongside the Batmobile. They might not all enjoy a lot of screen-time, and some of them are developed for ridiculously specific circumstances, but that’s precisely as it should be. These Bat-vehicles (some of which Batman doesn’t actually use himself) are a flex of both his adaptability and his treasures.
Bruce Wayne obviously also has his own vehicles, from the Drifter bike in The Batman, to his civilian cars, but those are different because they’re not directly part of Batman’s world. And not to be outdone, Gotham’s villains have also had their own signature rides – from Penguin’s delightful amphibious Duck to Joker’s Goon Car, Bane’s hijacked camo Tumblers, Mr. Freeze’s Freeze Truck, and even Joker’s neon-trimmed Vaydor in Suicide Squad. But that’s another story.

Batskiff (Batman & Robin)
By far the worst crime committed in the name of Batman vehicles, and not just in live-action, Joel Schumacher’s addition of the Batskiff to Batman & Robin for the Boy Wonder to drive in the fight against Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Mr. Freeze at Gotham Observatory looks like a cross between a hovercraft and a horseshoe crab, and has no reason to exist other than peddling toys. Mercifully, it’s barely on screen for long, and it’s still a low point for Chris O’Donnell’s Robin, for whom Bruce Wayne custom-built this abomination.

The Batmissile (Batman Returns)
Technically, the Batmissile is sort of part of the Batmobile, and a fail-safe built into Burton’s iconic car for use in emergencies in 1989’s Batman. But because it is a separate machine, it counts here, especially because it offers the opportunity to comment on how bloody stupid it looks. The Batmobile was a thing of beauty, but its slim-line alley-friendly Mini Me looks ridiculous, even if it’s a stroke of genius for navigating narrow roads. It also does feel like a nod to Adam West’s 1960s Batman and his cartoonish adaptability.

The Bathammer (Batman & Robin)
Another product of Batman & Robin’s merchandise fetish, the Bathammer is Batman’s heavy-duty custom ice-sled built to navigate Gotham’s frozen streets after Mr. Freeze’s attack on the city. Resembling something between a snowmobile and a prone bird, it matches some of the design elements of the superior Batmobile, and it is visually striking, but its over-designed and too consciously targeted at toy sales to be a truly serious entry. The name also makes absolutely no sense. Great toy though.
