Two of the same

After Tim Burton was director Joel Schumacher; the Batmobile changed again. Val Kilmer played Batman in “Batman Forever,” and the brand new car had a fin on the roof of a ZZ3 Chevrolet racing engine. There were vents in the side that would light blue from the side, and although there was no particular reason for them, they were pretty nice looking. The decrease had a different look due to that.

Burt Ward and Adam West were copied in their “Batman” television series from 1966 to 1968 with this new car that had a grappling hook on it to allow the vehicle to scale walls. It is a very improbable thing that was pretty cool in the vehicle.

Schumacher returned for the next installment, "Batman and Robin," although Kilmer did not. George Clooney, looking uncomfortably out of place, put on the rubber suit that time around. But Warner Brothers needed a brand new vehicle to promote the movie with, so the Batmobile was taken back to the drawing-board yet again. It was stretched into an over 30 feet long roadster-like design that lost its passenger seat, leaving only room for the Batman himself.

In 2008

The collection was becoming increasingly campy. In 2005 it was rebooted by director Christopher Nolan, with his more reality-based "Batman Begins." Nolan sought to distance the material from its previous versions. For that reason, no mention is ever made of a "Batmobile." Instead, we get a uniquely-designed urban assault vehicle called the Tumbler.

Style was given a backseat to function in designing the Tumbler. It was built for jumping and for rugged terrain, and was really capable of doing many of the stunts it performs in the movie.

Though the Tumbler did not go anywhere for the 2008 sequel, “The Dark Knight,” Nolan did come up with an idea for a motorbike, called the Batpod. Though Nolan intended it, Nathan Crowley, the Tumbler designer, finished it. A water-cooled, single-cylinder engine with no exhaust pipe operated the automobile, and Batman, or Christian Bale, had to lay on his belly on the motor to power it and steer it with his shoulders. The exhaust in the bike was sent through the bike’s frame, and Batman looked pretty spiffy on the bike.

The Batpod motorbike and the Tumbler seem, according to previews, to be coming back in “The Dark Knight Rises,” though there has been no info released at the time of this writing. It seems that Cat Woman, Anne Hathaway, will even be riding on a fat motorcycle in the movie.

According to Tumbler builder Andy Smith, the revamped Tumbler has a new rocket launcher and a top turret, mounted with a double-barreled gun.
