10 Ridiculous Superhero Vehicles You Won't Believe Exist

Batman loves his name, which is clear from the many "bat" items he carried around, including Bat-Shark Repellent, and whatever else he needs in any given situation. The same is true of his many vehicles, with everything from the Batmobile to the Batwing, but there's another on that list from Batman #117.

Batskates were introduced on the cover of this issue, and it's exactly what you think it is: rocket-propelled skates. Now, most people would think that Batskates would be really cool, and a fun way to get around town to beat up bad guys, but they are likely forgetting the very basics of physics.

Turning these things on would immediately cause a person's feet to shoot forward while the rest of their body took a moment to try and figure out what was going on. If Batman & Robin were insanely lucky, they would only hit their heads on the ground before being dragged backward at break-neck speed.

Not only that, but to make them work for even a second or two, the Dynamic Duo would need to immobilize their legs and make their bodies completely rigid. Rocket skates sure sound like fun, but in reality, the concept is as ridiculous as adding rockets to most modes of transportation.
