Click Here To Order The Batmobile
The Batmobile is a black and stealthy Batman toy — with rubber wheels and a rock-solid, plastic construction. This Batmobile looks and feels more like an armored tank more than the older versions of this popular Batman toy.
Atop the Batmobile sit three red buttons. Press the first one, and an engine revs and a huge red light at the rear flashes. Press the second, and hidden missile launchers spring from either side of the car with a clatter. (You can easily fold them closed again.) The third button creates the sound effect of missiles firing.
A hatch on top opens to reveal the driver’s seat and a rotating steering control. Accompanied by three button-cell batteries, this heavy-duty Batman toy rolls smoothly along the floor. Action figures are sold separately.
The Batmobile is one of the most popular Batman Toys around, and goes perfect as an accessory to the different Batman action figures that are available.

Batman Batmobile Product Description
This Batmobile is unlike any Batman vehicle ever seen before! Batman thunders through Gotham City in a high-tech ride that strikes fear into the criminals of the city with its combination of speed and power. Prominently featured in the movie, it includes electronics that bring key scenes to life. The rocket engine in the rear and lasers in the front both light up and include cool sounds. The Batmobile also transforms into attack mode with twin projectiles that leap out and forward at the touch of a button.
Technical description
The standard features of the vehicle include a chassis with heavy armor plating and a high performance engine, sometimes with rocket boosters for increased speed, special devices to improve maneuverability, and mounted weapons to disable vehicles and remove obstacles. In addition, the vehicle typically carries a computer that is remotely linked to the Batcave’s main computer, a remote control function, a field forensic kit and a personal small helicopter held in the trunk called a whirlybat.
The vehicle has changed frequently over the decades. In the early stages of Batman’s career, he modified a sedan, with armor, technologically advanced automotive customization, and has turned the Batmobile into the sleek street machine he currently drives.
The Batmobile is also occasionally referred to as being powered by nuclear generation of electricity, both by Robin in a launch checklist from the 1966 television show (”Atomic batteries to power. Turbines to speed!”), and by The Penguin in Batman Returns, where one of his schemes to kill Batman is to turn the Batmobile into “a H-bomb on wheels.”
Batman Begins Batmobile
The Batmobile depicted in the Christopher Nolan directed films Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008) owes more to the tank-like vehicle from Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns than to the sleek automobiles seen in previous incarnations. The vehicle does not have a front axle, a design that was influenced by the spinners featured in Director Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. The film’s production designer described the machine as a cross between a Lamborghini and a Hummer. It is said to resemble a crouching bat, but in some ways resembles the F-117stealth bomber.
In the 2005 movie, Bruce Wayne modifies a military vehicle known as the Tumbler, and the vehicle is never referred to as the “Batmobile.” Six Batmobiles were built for the production of the film. Two regular, full-size, driving Batmobiles were used in exterior shots. One full-sized model with hydraulic enhancements was used in jump sequences. One full-sized, functional vehicle carried propane tanks to fuel the rocket blast out of the rear nozzle. A radio-controlled, 1/3-scale electric model also performed stunts in the film (e.g., the roof-top chase sequence). These scenes were filmed over 9 weeks, on a massive set built on a stage at Shepperton Studios. The vehicle was built from scratch in the United Kingdom after American car production companies claimed it was not possible to create such a vehicle and it was too complex[citation needed].
The Tumbler returns in The Dark Knight, where it is damaged beyond repair by a rocket-propelled grenade; Batman ejects from the Tumbler in the Batpod (a motorcycle formed by the front wheels and struts of the Batmobile). Once ejected, Batman causes the Tumbler to self-destruct.
