1992 Batmobile


From the 1992 Movie Batman Returns


DESCRIPTION

One of the most famous cars in the history of cinema, the Tim Burton-era Batmobile was an aggressive departure from both the 1960s Barris version and its comic counterparts. The version offered here is serial number three of that series, appearing in 1992's Batman Returns. Production designer Anton Furst followed Burton's Frank Miller-inspired vision of a darker image for the Caped Crusader that translated perfectly into the Batmobile's menacing look.

Built on an enlarged Impala chassis and powered by a small block Chevy V-8, the Batmobile's handcrafted body is recognizable the world over. From the large jet turbine intake to its trademark batwing fins, the Batmobile bristles with purposeful design cues and good old-fashioned Bat-weaponry, its snug two-piece cockpit rivaling commercial aircraft in its profusion of instrumentation.

Retired after the completion of Batman Returns, the car has built a strong following with fans and is a guaranteed draw at public events and shows.
