For people wondering why the Synder batmobile wasn't included, this documentary was from the Blu-Ray features of *The Dark Knight Rises*
WhY iS tHe ReEvEs BaTmObIlE nOt InClUdEd?
Nobody cares about those atrocious movies 🤮
Doesn’t matter anyways. Everything from Snyder was aweful besides wonderwoman and aquaman, and that’s probably because he had almost nothing to do with them lol.
@@aztro187 His batmobiles were awesome tho.
I had no idea the tumbler was as functional as it was. The love and work that went into it is phenomenal .
you thought it was a real military vehicle?
@@scottthesmartape9151 No, he thought it was just a prop that happened to drive, but it was engineered so well!
Tim Burton and the 60s Batmobiles are my favourites 🖤
Mines 2 😊❤
The newest Battison Batmobile is my favorite, followed by Burton, and then 60s. I don't like the others much at all. I love the Nolan movies, but the Tumbler was a disappointment for me. It felt more Delta Force than Batman.
I have to admit that after all these years, the original TV Batmobile is still my favorite. When I was a kid, every boy my age had that car in their toy collection. That was top of the heap.
Still sounded great too, after all these years !!
I said to my 10 year old son when we'd watched batman, that I was a big batman fan and had a batmobile when I was a Kid, he then went out and bought me a Hotwheels original series Batmobile.... he's carried on doing that ever since , he is now 27, and I own 24 Hotwheels Batmobiles and their variants from the comics, films, animated series and games .... and he's still finding them, the latest one he gave me last week, is a " Batman the animated series" shadow model, in dark purple
That '66 Batmobile is the coolest hero car in history, nothing else in TV or movie history comes close.
The 66 batmobile is like the DB5 to James Bond.
I literally cried seeing those kids who are undergoing treatment for cancer and kudos to these guys for doing something like this.
Makes two of us
I wasn't just crying for the children, I was also crying for family friends, co-workers, and family members I lost, it's a terrible thing to go through. Seeing all the cars brought a smile to my face I love all of them my favourite is Tim Burtons Batmobile, that's the one I saw when I was a kid.
Yes, these guys LOVE what they do and it shows by things like that! I cried too....
Batman's vehicle.... batmobile has got its own documentary movie... Nothing more to say !! Batman rules 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love Batman
I love superman,i am a fan of DC only because of superman even in their bad time we need superman documentary, the fortress of solitude.
@@Ronaldofan1122 But Batman’s cooler...
Does it come in black?
@@user-jv2tw1no8x Yes, and It comes in very very dark gray too
Seeing all those cars together let’s me know for sure that we’re all just big kids at heart. Thank you to everyone ever involved with making these movies.
The little kids at the hospital looking so happy and in awe had me near tears. So incredible what an object from a movie can do for people. Truly inspiring man. I hope one day I get to create something that can do the same thing for similar children.
It had me in tears also.`Those little kids got to see something that might be a once in a lifetime thing.

“I forgot the door” I actually like the sliding roof thing better actually
Wow they could have just slapped together a quick documentary of a few cuts and interviews but they turned this into a beautiful piece. Props to all the people who put this together!
The scene where Batman drives to the Batcave with Vicki Vale. No other Batmobile scene can top that.
Forest scene Best shots
Agreed. But what made it memorable was Danny Elfman's theme. Chills.
yessssss!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🙏👊🏻
I mean... RACHELLLL! Is better.
Everyone else: Let's make a really cool prop car for our movie/TV show! Christopher Nolan: Let's build a tank car that can jump, drive fast and be virtually indestructible...from scratch.
I drew a cartoon once that had the TV version of the Batmobile with a small car next to it. The small car driver opening his door into the Batmobile making contact. Inside Batman and Robin were jumping out to beat up the guy for nicking their paint job.
@@johnbockelie3899 really you drew a cartoon? Any url to see the art?
Wasn't that fast. Lol. 90-110mph. Durable but tooooo much weight.
@@Apaqalypse747well for a tank that's superfast and its that's faster than abrams.
Dear @@johnbockelie3899, दिलचस्प कहानी 🦇
This documentary made me appreciate the other batmobiles more. My personal favorite has always been the Tim Burton one. I never really like the other models that much but seeing how they work so hard and the motivation and respect they have for it made me really see those batmobile in a different and appreciative way. They all have their own unique way and style. 🦇🖤
The Tim Burtons bat mobile has a certain thing about it that just makes it great.
@@LetMeBe3 Like he said himself - there's just something primal about it that you can't quite put your finger on. But it's there.
I really do think that every cinematic version of the Batmobile perfectly capture its version of Batman. You give any of them one look and you can probably immediately tell which Batman it belongs to.
I am in love with both the 1989 Batmobile and the Tumbler from The Dark Knight Trilogy.
I've volunteered at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles dressed as Batman but to see the Tumbler pull up outside the hospital at the end was really beautiful.
Tim Burton Batmobile is still most beautiful and for me is the best from all.
I'm with you on that one!
Burton Batmobile is best in fantasy. Nolan (to me) is best in a possible reality.
my local themepark has one.
@@jasonwu9287 And that's exactly why Nolan's trilogy feels more at home in the Die Hard franchise than a Batman franchise to me. :)
@@jasonwu9287 nolan batman is the fakest batman why df would drive a tank. Lol batflecks batmaovile is the most cb accurste or even realistic in a real world with superheroes df
whoever that did this documentary, A+
This documentary brought tears. As a child, I watched 60s TV. My favorite one will always be the original, but I LOVE the Tumbler. I even met Adam years ago when my father introduced me to him. Dad was a friend of George's when Mr. Barris had built the #001 'Barrister' for him. RIP Adam, George, you are missed. I love 😘and miss you Dad.🥺😥
35:38 I think that is the most emotion I've ever seen from Christopher Nolan ever. lol
Wow the children’s hospital scene made me tear up that was so touching
30:04 Didn't they realize that the Batmobile leaving a trail would be a bad idea?
People could trace it back to batcave.
To me, the best Batmobile ever is that of the 1960's TV series, originally aired when I was 8 years old. My dad gifted me a 1:24 diecast model by Matchbox. It also had Batman and Robin's figures attached to the car seats. Some years after, I noticed that the Batmobile actually was a 1955 Lincoln Futura prototype.
What about the tumbler though?
@@CYB3R2K It's OK for young people (I'm 66) or for those who love eccentricities.
I had the corgi batmobile, it had removable Batman and Robin, fired missiles, had a saw blade that came out of the front grille and fire that went in and out as you pushed the vehicle, by far the 60s version is the best
I never get tired of these batmobile documentaries...
They are very interesting to watch specially if you want to get into the industry. Which I do. One day. Hopefully.
Ketons batmobile was by far my favorite. The scene when hes driving back to the batcave with vicky vale just awesome memories
The pocket car was the best
The end where they brought the Tumbler to the kids getting treatment at the cancer center had me in tears. I just finished radiation and chemo treatment myself. That guy was right. You want to find a way to show people who helped get you through treatment how much it meant to you
I highly recommend you look up healing with a fruit based diet and regenerative herbs like Robert Morse ND teaches. You have to address the cause of your illness if you want to heal and mainstream treatments often make things even worse.
@@Doood692 My mainstream treatment cured my cancer, thank you very much. Completely. No surgery was needed. Just because a treatment isn't "natural", doesn't mean it won't work.
The Keaton Batmobile, animated series Batmobile, The Arkham Knight video-game Batmobiles, and by far the Christian Bale Batmobile are my favorites....ESPECIALLY that Tumbler.
I still believe that the best Batman quote is "When the mugger or the thief stops to think twice - that is fear. That is what I am. That is why they hired assassins. Because I am the reason criminals breathe easier when the sun rises."
Isn't that from Arkham?
@@atharvadeshpande6907 _y e s_
@@toxification yep Arkham Origins
Basically a rip off of the "I'm the one who knocks!" speech from Breaking Bad.
The sequence of all the Batmobiles together driving down the road in a line...….with the 1960's one at the front...…. is the most beautiful sight I have ever seen! It made me cry. I had forgotten how deep seated the Batman thing is within me. I hear you John Smith. Say it with me my brothers......'TO THE BATMOBILE!!!!!!!!'
Adam West was such a delightful and humorous man. “Trick, or, Treat.” 😂
Something about the tumbler blew me a way such a unique take that just made it such a badass vehicle but I really like what they did with the bvs batmobile and Matt reeves Batman batmobile
The Tumbler may not be the most beautiful Batmobile but it is the most brutal!
It is not a Batmobile, just a legotank. Burton's version is way more authentic, asthetic, atmospheric, and practical at the same time for fighting crime in a city and not the millitary in a desert... Batman and his vehicles must be symbols, Burton's version was a pure symbol.
@@HunGerMovies But the Tumbler is better at creating fear. They are all symbols.
To me it's all above "the system of disbelief" and Burton succeeded, but I think Nolan nailed it in my option💯. I can't say the same thing for Batman & Robin 🤮
The Tumblr sends a message that I cannot be messed with (would be helpful in Los Angeles traffic 😁. DC Comic’s Batman Curse of the White Knight pays homage to the 1989 Batmobile with Bruce Wayne saying it was always his favorite.
@@fredricklee I actually don't like the idea that all of them are individual pieces of canon. If they are symbols then they are technically always the same thing.
Rest in peace George Barris(designer of 66 Batmobile Anton Furst 89 Batmobile) and Adam West legends
Its Adam West and Burt Ward for me ! along with the Batmobile. Cant beat the 60's . It may have been camp, But what did we kids know ?. We just loved it. Adam West- R I P.
in the 90’s i was lucky enough to ride in the keaton batmobile when we visited the wb studios it was a day i’ll never forget
To me , Tim Burton Batmobile was the best ! It’s magnificent, dark, mysterious! It’s what Batman is !
a1
..and probably the one from Batman TAS too. They're both looking very classy as heck.
My fav too
😂
tumbler for me
The Nolan Batman trilogy was just perfect even the batmobile.
Even batman of 1980,
That's debatable.
Nolan's trilogy where the best made movies with a Batman character. But Bale is just as overrated as Val Kilmer is underrated.
@@Mve-90 I think people recognize Bale as the best because Nolan made the best movies about Batman .
Boy, those last bits with those kids has tears running down my face. Bless them. Bless their wee souls. And the Keaton one is my favourite, but that seems like a shallow point now. Love as much as you can x
I guess I never realized how cool the Batman and Robin batmobile was. Looking at it from outside the movie it’s actually a pretty awesome looking car.
The BvS batmobile is underrated for sure
It's my favorite batmobile, except maybe for the one in Arkham Knight, but I don't know if video games count here.
The documentary was released on 2012. It would have been sweet to see the making of that one as well.
I think it's alright, I feel like it's not distinctive enough though.
Yeah the Snyder was cool but I hated how they keep changing batman in such a way, makes the car more forgettable due to the film you know.
@@superhillsider Nice! Thank you, my dude.
Two of the best things from this video; the looks on those kids faces when the Tumbler rolls up, and the Tim Burton '89 Batmobile.
Laughs, tears and goosebumps. As a father of a kid with Leukemia thank you for making this.
The Tim Burton Batmobile is my favourite but The Tumbler is a close 2nd. Loved the TV one as a kid.
Even in a Batmobile documentary, we have to sit through another origin story.
Yes, but Batman is part of the Legend of the car.
😂🤣🤣
Right?! Like its not enough that every bat flick has to represent that part of the story. Ugggh!
😆🤣
It is an iconic moment though
Tim Burton's batmobile without a shadow of a doubt is the iconic batmobile.
The first Batmobile (Batman, Batman Returns), the second one from Batman Forever and the first one The Batman are my favorites.
Someone should build a live version of the animated series Batmobile!
Love this documentary. I applaud the end part where they took the Batmobile Tumbler to the Childrens hospital. To see those smiles on those kids brought tears. RIP Adam West & George Barris. Many thanks to all the creators of these amazing vehicles of joy.
UN SOL COLPO AL LIMITE DFEBRE NE 3 LEONI.........................
I love it that they let the children climb over and sit in the tumbler.
I think the Burton's Batmobile 11:20 and Nolan's Tumbler 31:51 are the best design
Arkham Asylum batmobile is the coolest
Agreed
What about the ones in the comics? Don't you want to read the comics?
Adam West and his Batmobile are the No1, to me..!!! Then the story begins 🤙🏼
... " 👍 "
The Tumbler, is a flying tank. It was also the first Batmobile I had ever seen. So it's hands-down my favorite. Tim Burton's is a close second.
I've always loved the art deco inspired beauty of the animated batman's batmobile.
Same
Its so sleek! Like a roadster.
I love Batmobile especially the tumbler. I even collected Jada's Batmobile toys
That Tim burton batmobile is the best looking one ever made imo
Tim Burton's design still looks like the best version of Batmobile. But if Batman was real he would anyday prefer Nolan's Tumbler.
I think Batman would probably go for the BvS batmobile. It's still heavy duty but bulkiness is reduced quite abit. In terms of the actual movies, I felt the cars were mismatched.
I think it depends on which car was the Batmobile when you were a kid. Although I do love the Tim Burton version 'and' the BvS version, I don't think either can touch the 1960s TV version by George Barris. That Ford Lincoln Futura customization, inspired a generation and I believe, was what really brought Batman to the attention of the world. Without that car, I believe it's possible nobody would still be talking about Batman outside of comic books.
@@ITALJUTE TV
the only person that knows what he would prefer is Batman himself. you tripping. and really if we are to be logical it all depends on what era and what batman.
@@lowlowseesee since Batman is not real we can only speculate. Based on the type of situations he regularly faces, he would any day prefer substance over style.
Crying just thinking about that Batman Forever Batmobile. Like, that was mine Batmobile as a kid. It is so indescribable. Great documentary!
I love the Batman forever batmobile. I think it's great. The bold black is nice against the sparing potent blue.
@Joe McKenzie me too
Burton n forever the best
@@briancoronaqueratineJAms I agree except for Batman returns, not the batmobile but the movie itself
@Jonathan Ramirez, dude, I know, right?! That Batmobile, and the Kevin Conroy Batman, are still, to this day, my number 1 combination across the board 😁👍.
I love the '66, the Keaton, and the Pattinson version. I I had to pick I'd pick the Pattinson but only because I watched the doc on it and it's a work of art inside and out. The movie didn't come close to really showing it off and all the detail in it.
WOW i lost a favorite relative waaay to young to cancer 29-45 she battled and car buff /mechanic my whole life(which got me here) but the children's story 52:00 was tear jerker...
Initially, I had always hated the Batman & Robin Batmobile. Now that I've seen this documentary, what an incredible looking machine! Looks better being showcased than in the actual film.
I grew up with the Tumbler so it's obviously one of my favorites but I also like the 1989 Batmobile equally as much
I remember seeing this documentary at a Auto museum! That was well over 10 years ago! I’m glad I found it after all these years!
The scene with the sick children getting to see, touch, and sit in the Bat mobile got to me. How hearth touching.
Watched 1966 reruns and animate Batman when I was a kid in the latter 70's, the classic Barrismobile is my ALL TIME favorite
Animated Series Batmobile is still my favorite to this day.
Which one, there were two different versions.
@@fntmlrd79 The one from the Bruce Timm series. Long, rectangular and probably wouldn't be able to turn, but I love that thing.
This is the 1st time I've ever cried during a car documentary, well done. ps- The 1966 Batmobile wins.
My most favorite Batmobile of them all is Batfleck's. It's slick yet stylish. 💯
For those of you unaware, if you finish Arkham Knight the video game, you can drive all these cars through Gotham City and you can pick which ever bat suit with it.
The Tim Burton Batman Batmobile will be forever THE Batmobile.
U sure about that 🤔😅😅 only kidding your right it might just be because it's are generation but I do love the original aswell
It’s alright
With Michael Keaton forever being THE Batman
Batman Forever Mobile was the best
Never. The TV Batmobile was and is the best. Why? Because it's the Boomer Batmobile, sorry kids. 🎬
Great history of batmobile, they all are great but my favorite Tim's and 90's animated one. RIP Adam vest.
Agree! Also why you got a picture of my wife?
DjJokerr Lol 😆
Oh man.. that Tim Burton batcar is so legendary. So powerful. I loved it as a kid and still today. Best car ever!
when batman ejects from the tumbler I get chills everytime with the "Goodbye..." :D
This is the 1st time I've ever cried during a car documentary, well done. ps- The 1966 Batmobile wins.
Same, i was a kid when the 1989 batman movie came out and still in love with that car.
You're not alone my friend.
Man me too. When I thought about it how many of those little angels never got to leave that hospital I lost it. I'm so glad they were able to experience that. And so many had Batman toys or clothes on its just shows the impact this franchise has on us.

@John Smith, I know, right? Didn't this make you absolutely ecstatic 😀?
The Burton Batmobile will always be my fav! First one i saw on Screen
My first batmobile love👍
I remember seeing the 89 Batmobile for the first time and completely falling in love with it. It’s truly a work of art.
We all love Batman so much that we sit down to watch his Documentary
Batmobile 1989 absolutely the best!! Great job
the dark knight trilogy bat mobile was insane
I hated it
Yeah, that was not a Batmobile anymore....
Literally the only Batmobile I DON'T adore.
Butthurt Snyderturds hates everything about the Dark Knight trilogy.Jealous morons
Yeah I thought the Tumbler was great.
to me, the 1966 batmobile was and still is the greatest masterpiece of all, thanks
This was amazing, I truly enjoyed this. I was on the WB lot, for a tour, before I moved from California and we heard this incredible noise and felt a rumbling and it was the Tumbler driving around the lot. It was unbelievable to see it up close
Adam West went trick or treating as the Batman in the car, absolute madman.
Yeah, for those kids seeing Batman in front of them.....wow, .....seeing he came in the ACTUAL Batmobile,........icing on the cake !!!
Who started cutting Onions at the end..... i'm not crying, you are!
I'm sorry. I've just....sniff...got something in my eye
Anytime that there are these magic moments for sick children, it always puts a tear in my eye. Children are not meant to be sick, and these magic moments do help with the healing process.
@@christophestevenson1448 So true! But those are tears of joy. If i would be in shape for being in costume under a mask... i would go anywhere for those kids! It makes my heart feel wholesome. Just seeing their joy in times of being ill or maybe close to death... if it makes their way better i'm all in!
The craziest part is, you don't even have to be a car enthusiast to enjoy this documentary!
@@jimbyrdiii1503 So true!
I love the batmobile from the 66.. The one with the clear plastic dome with the red light on the top center of the two bubbles, black car with red lines... I love it as it is simple but still flashy with out being to much flash... I think it was as much the car as the content of the tv show that makes me love that car...
I still love the 1966 Batmobile, as impractical as it is. It's a work of art.
Last part of this epic documentary made me emotional. The smile of those kids is priceless 🖤
They're all incredible, in their own way. But for sheer sleekness, I'd go with Burton's Batmobile. Nolan's 'Tumbler' is a tank, a war machine, and while it's not beautiful, it's effective. Special shoutout to George Barris' creation. That made my childhood fun.
i would take tumbler anyday. if batman is real the tumbler is the best and effective.
Yes because Nolan wanted to make sure that was practical and real as possible. Tim Burtons car its amazing by design but the Tumbler it's the most capable and realistic.
@@missouriresole4726 Oh, yea, it's a war machine. Anxious to see what the Batmobile in Patterson's film can do.
bro the crew who built tumbler deserves all the credit, what a amazing work my godness
I didn't think I would sit and watch this whole thing...............BUT I DID, and loved it. Great job.
Nolans batmobile is more like a fast tank it's feels heavy but tim burtons is more sleek and compact and looks legit....also I love battfleck batmobile
Not everyone likes that version.
I mean, come on, seriously, who are the people who hit the dislike on this? What's the point? If you don't like Batmobiles, why are you watching the documentary? If you do like Batmobiles, what else did you want? Seriously!?!
Probably superman fanboys
Or Marvel fans? I'm a fan of Marvel but I loved this documentary video, because Batman is my favorite DC hero
@@hunterquate9436 : Yes, same here. I much prefer the Marvel world, but my favorite Superhero is Batman.
Toyota Prius drivers ?
They're all jokers. Or Joker's.
The Adam West Futura Batmobile will always be my favorite
Rip to the true 1st batman "Adam West" an the coolest badass batmobile thier is 🦇👌
The 1960's Batmobile was the Batmobile of my childhood. The first one I ever saw. It may not be "The Best" but it will always be my favourite.
Ian, that Batmobile is truly timeless!!!
Love the story of the tumbler, but should have included the Arkham Knight batmobile!!
and the batman tv show batman brave and the bold and the new batman v superman
Too late for that, this documentary was out with the Dark Knight Rises movie. Maybe we need a part two.
Same the knight one is my favorite a tank and a car in one. Shame the documentary came out 3 to 4 years before that.
Fantastic documentry, fiction to reality and back! Loved the research and assembly. I don't think I've ever seen such a powerful documentry on myth, and one that strides within our lifetime. Thanks so much for your passions and work.
I highly recommend the WB studios tour if you’re ever in Hollywood! Getting to see all these amazing machines together under one roof was awe inspiring. 🦇🖤
Thanks I want to see Batmobile up close in person.
There must be cool merch, maybe autograph & photo with the alive engineers would be great 🍻.
I love all the Batmobiles that appear in this video and I also like the one of batman vs superman
Oscar Sinecio aaaaa
It’s one of the best looking honestly
The BvS one, really?? First: It looks like a shapeless mess on screen, and second: Its nearly identical to the batmobile in the Arkham video game series :S:S
Gabriel P so the arkham ones are a shapeless mess?
@@frostbitepokin9520 No, the Arkham ones look much better (imo). Just compare: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71Eil6SCY7L._AC_SX679_.jpg images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/410jkSdCl0L._AC_.jpg
I love this documentary... Wish I was there when all the bat mobile came together. THIS IS AWESOME!
Idk why but I love the way george barris says "batmobile"
The ‘89 Batmobile will always be the King of the Batmobiles. An amazing combination of form and function.
