Oye Superman! You Just Can’t Be as Cool as Batman’s Batmobiles
Batman and Superman are going to head-to-head, but Batman wins when it comes to being cooler, ‘coz he’s Batman!
Batman and Superman’s rivalry does not involve just the two of them. Their fans across the world are going head-to-head in order to prove that their favourite hero is the best.
Their respective abilities aside, both heroes have become way cooler than what they used to be in the 80s and 90s. Superman decided to ditch his red underwear for a one-piece and Batman’s voice got hoarser.
Whoever you may love, there is no denying that Batman’s batmobile is an extension of the hero and is seriously cool. That’s why we say that Superman might punch villains through dimensions, but he can never be as cool as Batman’s batmobile(s).
Here’s a list to prove our point. Being unable to choose a favourite, the list is in no particular order.
Batman Vs Superman (2016)
This one just had to be there, simply because Batman crashes this into Superman in their latest appearance together. That’s a good enough to reason to be a favourite among Batman lovers.
Tumbler-Dark Knight Trilogy (2005-2012)
When Bruce Wayne asks ‘does it come in black?’, you know it is one hell of a ride and it was indeed as we saw in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. One of the two humongous tyres in the front is a Batcycle.
Now this is definitely bad-ass. Batman can take on bad guys and also go off-roading, to the mountains, where he can park his car and take the cycle for a spin. Why would he do that? ‘Coz he’s Batman!
Batman & Robin (1997)
1966 Batman TV Series Batmobile
This is where it all started, the first iconic Batmobile, which made its appearance during the Batman TV series in 1966. Designed by the legendary car designer George Barris, it went on to become one of the most popular pieces of entertainment history worldwide. This car was auctioned at 4.62 million dollars in 2013 and made the world record for the highest price a TV/movie car has ever fetched.

Batman Animated Series (1991-1995)
Oh yes, this is the one that we all grew up watching the Batman animated series that even aired on Cartoon Network.
We are sorry Christopher Nolan fans, Christian Bale Fans, not so much to Ben Affleck lovers but yeah, this is hands down the coolest Batmobile ever.
