In fact, The Tumbler is probably the most active/useful of all the Batmobiles (so far). It’s basically a tank with more mobility, and it can “boost into a rampless jump” - across rivers, onto rooftops, etc.

Ah, the Kilmer Mobile. This was the first departure in the ‘90s movies from the Batmobile design of Batman ’89 and Batman Returns, and it’s also hands down the ugliest. It’s flashier and more colorful than its predecessors - much like the movie itself - but that’s actually not my problem with it. (In fact, I’d say the weird coloring was generally one of the more interesting things about Batman Forever.)

The animated Batmobile vaguely resembles the one from the Tim Burton movies, although it’s simpler and removed of any of the weirdness. That lack of weirdness puts it a bit lower on this list for me, but it’s still a fantastic Art Deco design overall.

The Batmobile driven by Adam West in the 1966 Batman movie is truly a thing of beauty, with great coloring and a general, um, car-like appearance.

Despite being the worst of the movies, Batman and Robin’s Batmobile was a big improvement over the Kilmer Mobile. While it’s a bit busy in some areas - I have no idea what’s going on under the hood there - and there are certainly elements of toyification, its overall old-fashioned design is pretty solid.

It’s fairly sleek and simple, so far as big screen Batmobiles go, with an incredibly cool Art Deco design to reflect the overall aesthetic of Tim Burton’s Gotham City.

Firstly, it actually looks like a car instead of a grumpy Transformer face, so major points for that. I also really dig the almost futuristic aesthetic it has going on.
