The Bat-Vehicles: An Overview

If Batman is one of the most recognizable characters from comics, TV and movies, its pretty safe to say that the Batmobile is one of the most recognizable vehicles. Every version of Batman has had his iconic set of wheels, and everyone has a particular favorite Batmobile. Whether its the modified Lincoln Futura from the 1966 show or Christian Bale's 'roided out Tumbler; The 1950's roadster from the comics or the sleek 1989 version by Tim Burton, everyone is aware of the concept that Batman has a bitchin' ride.

But it doesn't stop at just the Batmobile. Batman has a Batplane (sometimes referred to as the Batwing), he's got a Batboat and a Batcopter. The list goes on. Obviously the Batman from the Superfriends Universe is no different, in fact, I'd hazard a guess that this version of Batman tops them all in terms of vehicle variety. This post is an overview of the various Bat-Vehicles showcased thru-out the many seasons of "Super Friends", personally culled from my repeat viewings. Each one will be covered in more detail in their own blog posts, as will the Bat-Vehicles from the Filmation cartoons.

NOTE: Some vehicles were not named within the dialogue of the show, but are named here for            reference purposes.
