The Batmobile has gone through numerous comic incarnations, and as state-of-the-art technology has continued to advance, the Batmobile has had to change to stay a step ahead of real-life cutting edge advances. The current Batmobile is Bulletproof and is bolstered by impact-resistant hydraulics. The Batmobile also contains engine specifications that are more advanced (by at least ten years) than the latest Formula One racers. Its various extras are more commonly associated with Stealth Jet s. COMIC BOOK CONTINUITY BM1-BM5 designs See Also: Car body style
BM6 {Link without Title} {Link without Title} {Link without Title} Specifications
This particular Batmobile was one of the fastest to ever be built. The BM6 was the first to include variable-polarization windshields. This allowed Batman to alter the Plexiglas from transparency to opaqueness when ferrying security-risk passengers. Radar-sensors allowed for subsequent " Blind-driving ." The extended length and powerful afterburner of the BM6 required the use of braking parachutes and lateral grapnel launchers to assist high-speed cornering. The BM6 also included a hydraulic telescoping ramp which rotated the entire chassis upon a reinforced axis for fast reverses. The BM6 had "breakaway" side and tail sections, as well as diving wheel assemblies. The resulting "Bat-Missile" could negotiate alleys that are too narrow for ordinary four-wheel pursuit vehicles. The BM6's exterior is covered with ceramic fractal armor panels which exploded outward when struck by projectiles, thus deflecting potentially injurious force away from the car and its occupants. The interior include:
BM7 {Link without Title} Specifications
The BM7 was a turbo-charged and armor-plated just like its predecessors. Equipped with the latest technology - including several pirated WayneTech prototypes - the BM7 worked as not only a heavily armored high-speed transport, but also a roving forensics lab. The BM7 included auto-engaged twin auxiliary fuel-tanks and seven-day emergency rations and water stores in the trunk. The BM7's gel-filled Kevlar -reinforced tires were puncture-proof and flame-resistant. The pressure of the tires were regulated by the dashboard controls. Tire over-inflation extruded embedded studds in all-weather treads for extra grip on icy roads. The BM7 was installed with a variety of rear defenses. These included high-viscosity, Teflon -based lubricant slicks, blinding smoke-screen clouds, and tire piercing Caltrop s. The BM7 was a fully-automated Batmobile. It could be operated by voice-command radio links in Batman's cowl, as well as by a limited-function, hand-held key pad and Remote System Controller . The BM7's dashboard computer was linked to the Batcave via a cellular modem. Its back-scoop concealed a satellite dish for television/radio/GPS linkage. Other features included a speed-measuring radar, landsat videomapper, police band monitor, and controls for external loudspeakers. Exterior features

Gadget ry Batman's Crime-Fighting Equipment - Batmobile This Batmobile had a nose-mounted chain slicer, lasers, rockets, an on-board telephone, radar, dash monitor, on-board computer, and police beacon. If needed, the Batmobile is capable of a quick 180° "bat-turn" thanks to two rear-mounted 10' parachutes, and it is equipped with a smoke emitter and a nail spreader to discourage pursuit. Some changes were made during the run of the series, including different license plates, a change in steering wheel, and the addition of extra gadgets such as the rear-facing camera and battering ram. =Full list
'''' The same year that the second Batman movie, '''' used a distinctive visual combination of Film Noir imagery and Art Deco designs with a very dark color scheme. The show created an "otherworldly timelessness" by combining "vintage" design elements like police Blimp s and pre- World War II vehicle styles with modern components like jet propulsion and computers. Specifications The Batmobile for the series also combined style elements from various eras to produce a long, low vehicle with square lines, long fins, and a blunt nose with a massive chrome grill that could have been from any time from the 1930s to the 1990s. Despite the obvious presence of the jet exhaust, the show frequently used sound effects from a reciprocating engine for the Batmobile's driving scenes. This, plus direct views of the engine (as seen in the episode ""), suggest that the car used a large piston engine for primary power and an auxiliary jet for high-speed acceleration. Gadget ry Among its features were:
It also had a "shield" mode to prevent people from tampering with the car when it was left unattended, though it was not as overt as the "cocoon" used on the 1989 Movie Batmobile. MOTION PICTURES '''' Batman Returns - Batmobile Specifications Keaton Car - Specifications

'' Batman & Robin '' Batman & Robin - The Batmobile Like the ''Batman Forever'' car, this Batmobile featured light-up wheels and engine panels. The displays were much more involved with this car, however, with red, orange, yellow, and blue lights, as well as special pulsating lights in the counterrotating turbine intake. The nozzles were canted away from the centerline of the car slightly, so the final effect was that the six exhausts made a "V" pattern to keep the car pointed straight ahead. A bat mask was incorporated in the nose of the car, though the sculpted lines made it somewhat difficult to make out at first. The fins were unmistakable, though, and remain as the largest set ever built into a real-world Batmobile. Specifications Clooney Car - Specifications
