I'm kind of biased towards the Burton Batmobile. It's just so sleek and iconic looking. Plus it transforms into the Batmissile! The only downside is that the vehicle is so long and so flat on the road that I'd be scared driving that on un-even terrain.
Talk about keeping it simple! And the 1943 and 1949 Columbia serials followed suit by using a 1939 Cadillac convertible and a 1949 Mercury convertible, respectively. Top down, they were Bruce Wayne's daily drivers; top up, they were the Batmobile. The question is, since none of those cars were ever called "the Batmobile", do they count?
That is so hot.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160504/0f86cc15e440eaac1eab3ab573cb76cc.jpg

Whether the source is comic books, live action, animated, video game, or whatever other medium you can think of, as long as it's referred to as the Batmobile I think it counts.The 89, the 66, and the tumbler. I also like the one in the animated series but I don't think it counts.
The thing I like about the '66 and '89 Batmobiles is that they look retro and futuristic at the same time. You could drop them into almost any era, and they wouldn't look too out of place. The only thing that "dates" the '66 is the five-spoke mag wheels--they scream 1960s-70s.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160504/0f86cc15e440eaac1eab3ab573cb76cc.jpg

You know what I think would be awesome? If bruce owned several parking garages and carwarshes where he could quickly drive the batmobile in and then a "shell" of a different vehicle would get placed over top of it so it could move around Gotham undetected.I like the '89 and the "tumbler" but I think Bats should take a cue from the Green Hornet and maybe get something more,I dunno,low key? even the lambo people point to is too much a regular armored car with a few tricks tucked in would be more sensible.
Then have an wheeled AFV for "special" occasions.
Here's a real world one that would fit Batman:

Okay, who else couldn't read this without hearing, "Roger. Ready to move out," in Adam West's voice immediately afterward?Atomic batteries to power! Turbines to speed!
The Tumbler is not my favorite by any means, but I did understand why it was there. In the Nolanverse that vehicle did have more practicality. Except for that stupid bit where it sucks you down into the dashboard to fire the guns or whatever. That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen! In the first place it would be physically impossible to do that. I mean, where do your legs go? You would literally be bent in half to do that! The only way it would work was if, during ALL driving, you body was positioned in the 'motorcycle' position. And it was already established that you are not. You just sit in it like a regular car.
That part, for me, was just totally ridiculous!
