Batman: Every Screen Batmobile Ranked From Worst To Best

4. Batman Beyond

The Batmobile
Warner Bros.

How do you take a design so classically gothic as the batmobile and translate it into a setting so set apart from that aesthetic as cyberpunk? Well, you get Bob Fletcher and Shayne Poindexter to design it, leading to easily the best case scenario for such a difficult design translation.

The main thing that separates this batmobile from the rest is the fact that it primarily flies instead of rolls on the ground, even lacking wheels, implying that this batmobile can never touch the ground without landing or crashing.

The other thing that separates it from other batmobiles are the specific gadgets that it utilizes, all of which take advantage of the fact that this is move of a harrier jet than a car, it comes equipped with missiles, tow cables for grabbing falling bits of rubble before they can hit the ground, and even a cloaking device to hide it from other vehicles.

The Beyond batmobile doesn't get nearly as much development as the Beyond batsuit, which has one of the most thoroughly explored and detailed superhero suits ever, but it has enough to leave a lasting impression.
