It's worth mentioning after modelling it, they realised they didn't to put doors on it for batman to get in, so the sliding canopy was developed after the look of a Harrier Jump Jet to get around this problem.
@@madrabbit9007 Yeah, but if you park this Batmobile and the Tumbler side-by-side, I think a lot more people will like this version because it looks a lot sleeker and more maneuverable. And the look of the car itself just screams the word "Batman" in everybody's heads.
@@muhammadnaim418 it's funny how the Tim Burton movies were criticized for being too dark, especially the sequel, but it took returning to that theme for the franchise to revive.
Everything is correct as in the textbook. I was born in 1988 and saw the movie as a very young child. I didn't start reading my first comics until 1993-1994 and collecting comics in 1995. The film came first. The movie charmed me, I am Batfan. I love Michael Keaton and Tim Burton. I used to have a Chinese cast of the Batmobile from 1989. Unfortunately, someone in my family threw it out of me. 2 days ago I finally fulfilled my childhood dream and bought a fully functional 89 'Batmobile for the helm. Now the child who still lives in me is fulfilled. Batman Burton forever!
As I watch this I'm looking at my Hot Toys 1/6th Scale 1989 Batmobile and it still elicits the most comments for those that come into my Office. Absolutely my favorite Batmobile of all time.
I had my version stolen by UK authorities Shropshire UK June 1999 I believe that it was given too Simon Cowell apparently he likes car's so much law's don't apply to him.
@@DARTHMOBIUS is that true because they always carry out mass transactions in plane view. I was the owner of Carrilion inventor of the Smoke Detector now I'm classified as a terrorist.
Without a doubt the best batmobile but it wasn't actually black ......ever one seems to think it was..... It was painted in a flip flop color that had purples in it and gave it a nice metallic Sheen but not glossy like the Gaudy paint job they did on the 92 version.... Watch the actual making of the batmobiles documentary.... None of the replicas ever get that right either as well as the rim wheel wells intake an exhaust manifolds are always wrong
This was my all time favorite version of the Batman story. Michael Keaton was the best of them all and should’ve stayed as the character. Didn’t like the ready of them. Gotta say, tho, my #1 fav Batmobile is the 1960’s car from George Barris. This one is at #2. You can keep the rest. The one that looked like a tank was a joke.
There's a great book describing the car and breaking down its features, I got mine from Amazon it's called Harmonious the complete history by Mark Dota Vaz. ISBN - 10 : 1781162840 ISBN - 13 978-1781162842.
Thos was my Batman's Batmobile. From Batman and Batman Returns. Heck Michael Keaton was the best action movie Batman in my opinion. Ben Affleck looks good as Bruce Wayne for sure but still no Michael Keaton!
When i was a Child in the early 90s i had a Book about this Movie. And there was a Chapter about the Car were they wrote, that it based on a Corvette C3.
Great job on this video! Though I have to give props to the 1966 Batmobile for being amazing at the time, the 1989 Batmobile really took things to a more modern era. Nothing since these two have even come close. They had a really thought out, unique "honest" design. The '66 version while awesome, certainly looks dated now, but they should have kept the '89 version in all the films
Batman Returns is the best Batman film to date, a lot better than the 89 first film. I can't understand why it got critical reviews and low popularity. It was the first Batman film I've ever seen too. And I been blown away by it !!! The dark tone of Burton arrived in full force and it was awesome. And Michael Keaton was the best Batman to date too, and the best Bruce Wayne. Ok, I take Kevin Conroy argument. But the thing that had me the most ? Yeh ! The Batmobile !!! Of course. It left me breathless and I still catch anything I can about it. Together with The Wraith they are my absolute favourite movie cars. It was massive disappointment it being replaced in 3rd movie and it gone even worse in 4th.
I think this is the best documentary of the 1989 car, and it's most accurate. The 1992 car, as I understand it, was built by Carl Gasper as the '89 original was too fragile. He is a legendary coach builder (both of horse pulled coaches and automotive customs with horsepower.) Look up "The Undertaker", for instance. I'm so glad I found this video in my feed.
The Adam West batmobile was so cool even tho the acting was so terrible which made it good ha ha but Michael Keaton is the greatest batman ever and his batmobile was just feckin awesome 👌
The color used in the first film was dubbed "Flipflop" as it had sight purplish appearances in certain lighting. Its matte finish was very fragile and Kim Basinger's heels would effortlessly scuff it when hopping in and out to the point she had to take her heels off. I prefer this paint to the gloss black for the sequel, though that works as well.
There was a company in Rockford IL that had alot to do with the batmobile an where it says WXRX on the microphone that's a radio station an that radio station is still around in Rockford IL
I had all the toys you see at 8:05. I still have the car and the Batman with grappling belt and the batplane, though with some missing pieces. I chewed the head of Batman, lol. Now my youngest son plays with them.
I also have the toy car from the second movie that turns into a 'missle'. I always thought it as a train lol but hey, you learn something new every day!
Isn't it impossible to have a working engine with a turbofan in front,and afterburner in the back? Would've thought that was two different type of engines.
Batman Returns is the best Batman movie ever made Tim Burtons genius is unleashed due to the success of the first one, Danny DeVito is INCREDIBLE as the Penguin, Christopher Walken as the Villian, its perfection. Especially when you look at what Hollywood did to it afterwards. Batman begins being a welcome return to form
13:04 That is the 1989 Batman diorama by Iron Studios. I own several Batman statues of theirs, but this piece was/is wayyyyyyy overpriced. No wonder they still have them in stock.
I would take the 1966 Batmobile any day over this one. That said this one is the best in the closest to what the real story of Batman the Dark Knight was all about. Gritty, massive, and meant for business. It lacks beauty and style of a car...but has it all as the Batmobile of modern times. Nothing after this one ever made much sense or came close to this one. Some were just down right hideous. Great video as always.
Well, since its all a one person channel, I guess it would be hard to fire myself. When you wear ALL the hats, one or two of them are not always gonna fit right.
15 mph. All shown on fast forward. Just as bad as those lame "car" movies all the kids love. Tokyo drift etc. So sad. It's kinda insulting when hollywood does that
Two cars only were made for Batman 1989 using ONE Chevy Impala chassis and ONE Oldsmobile Cutlass chassis. They both had a 'Flip Flop' paint and were never gloss or 'Satin' black. They were 'designed and built' by many people and assembled by John Evans and a highly talented team in around 12 weeks. The #1 Hero car had fabric seats and the #2 car had leather seats. In the earliest shots of the movie, the car had Recaro 'fishnet' type of headrests but these were replaced during production. Keaton's ears were trapped in the canopy and the seat had to be removed to sit him lower. Then the ears on the cowl were shortened. The 'fishnets' and lack of seat, can be clearly seen in the shots with Vikki the first time she gets in the car. The gloss shiny cars added for Returns were moulded from the originals and then modified. They were narrowed across the rear fenders to facilitate transport issues. Almost all had no interior as they were used for long shots and stunts including the 'turntable clown roasting car'. A separate 'cockpit' from the car was built for close up shots and the owner of this lives in Germany. Almost all 'Screen used production' cars are misrepresented as such. There were many bodies built after Returns for promotion, touring, display and Six Flags shows. Virtually all known vehicles come from these origins, save one or two 'scratch built' replicas. Far too many replicas are sold as 'screen used' Returns cars and this is simply not true. WB have both original Batman hero cars, at their facility in Burbank California, USA.
The best Batmobile! ❤️
And the best Batman movie too!
💯%
It should be MANDATORY that it's used in everything Batman! The ultimate Batmobile!
Yeah, or something similar. Nothing has came close to being as cool as this one.
Only Keaton can sit behind the wheel of this Batmobile.
Anton Fürst was unable to return to due to contract he signed with Columbia Pictures, that's part of the reason he killed himself. He also felt guilty for taking all the credit for the art of Nigel Phelps and Julian Caldow, deepening his addiction problems.

Awesome job with this video. Of all the on screen attempts the 89 films Batmobile remains THE definitive Batmobile.
100% agree! The cars for Clooney and Val sucked donkey balls. No surprise that their movies sucked too. Only the Tumbler comes close.
@@madrabbit9007 Yeah, but if you park this Batmobile and the Tumbler side-by-side, I think a lot more people will like this version because it looks a lot sleeker and more maneuverable. And the look of the car itself just screams the word "Batman" in everybody's heads.

No video of the shields??
Remember: it's the best batmobile ever created, but it wouldn't be half the legend it is, without Keaton driving it.

I love doing Stop Motion animations with my Batmobiles 🦇 🎬📸🎞️‼️
cool movie, make one about viper - tv series and actual car, thanks
Forgot about that car. Thanks for the recommendation. I will add it to the list. Cheers.
Here from Oliver Harper's channel, yoou did an amazing job lad please keep up the good work I am eager to see more videos !
but there is a problem with the movies. Every time there is a new version, you have to watch the origin story again.
My personal Favorite car and movie.
Those movies are perfection. That batmobile is something even better.
That movie was so popular, I was buying trading card packs from a gas station. Wish I had kept those.
Amazing looking car for the best Batman..
Still my favorite Batmobile, so stylish and art-deco! Looks like it drove right out of the late 1920's. I'd love to build one on a Tesla chassis.
It was never a satin black paint. Not Ever. It was a paint from Japan called.
Flip Flop. It changed colors as in a deep purple in real life color.

@2:52 Am I the only one that noticed "muffler bearings" in the technical drawing?
Timeless badass design, the coolest machine ever created.
The ‘89 beats out the Tumbler any day of the week.
And it would come back in 2023 in the flash film
Batman Returns was an excellent movie!

1989 Batmobile is the best one .
Ben Affleck's "Frank Miller" Batman is the best one.
Not a bad video but you really didn’t talk or show much about the building of the car. That’s disappointing.
So Wise , Thank You . I still like the Batmobile from the Tv series . I saw Adam West at a car show, so cool
Show me 1 person who hated these 2 movies back then and I'll show you a liar. WB just went stupid
When i was a Child in the early 90s i had a Book about this Movie. And there was a Chapter about the Car were they wrote, that it based on a Corvette C3.
General lee and 89 bat mobile the most recognizable tv cars in the world

Have the original 89 Batmobile, I want the TAS version. That was better.
Batman Returns is the best Batman film to date, a lot better than the 89 first film.

You can find a test drive and history video on a replica based on the original shell on the channel. Enjoy.
I enjoy watching Returns over 89. Its such a beautiful movie and plays out like a dream. I love the more refined suit too.
The color used in the first film was dubbed "Flipflop" as it had sight purplish appearances in certain lighting. Its matte finish was very fragile and Kim Basinger's heels would effortlessly scuff it when hopping in and out to the point she had to take her heels off.

Can you do a segment on knight rider k.i.t.t.?
There was a company in Rockford IL that had alot to do with the batmobile an where it says WXRX on the microphone that's a radio station an that radio station is still around in Rockford IL
It was batman return, had the wrong movie
It wont devalue... - meanwhile economy: hold my beer
Astonishing !!!
Thank you Bill Finger
I had all the toys you see at 8:05. I still have the car and the Batman with grappling belt and the batplane, though with some missing pieces. I chewed the head of Batman, lol. Now my youngest son plays with them.
I also have the toy car from the second movie that turns into a 'missle'. I always thought it as a train lol but hey, you learn something new every day!
The latest one sucks.
Amazing documentary, thank you.
Thank you.
I saw this film when it came out in 1989 - a year after robocop in fact.
Batman was here to stay until 97 when batman and robin came out it took untill 2005 when Nolan did batman begins came out
Isn't it impossible to have a working engine with a turbofan in front,and afterburner in the back? Would've thought that was two different type of engines.
Well done. One of the greatest cars and Batmobile ever created.
Still the best
my favorite batmobile of all time!
Best Batmobile ever!
Tim Burton did actually co direct BATMAN FOREVER
Have it in my collection by Jada toys 1:24 with Batman figure
This Batmobile and the Tumbler are head and shoulders above any other Batmobile.
My favorite is still the one from the dark knight movies
Batman Returns is the best Batman movie ever made
Tim Burtons genius is unleashed due to the success of the first one, Danny DeVito is INCREDIBLE as the Penguin, Christopher Walken as the Villian, its perfection.
Especially when you look at what Hollywood did to it afterwards.

Anyone remember the promotional batman cereal that came with a batman coin bank
на мой взгляд, лучший из всех бетмобилей
1989 Bat Mobile, Delorean Time Machine, Ecto 1. Probably the three most iconic cars in cinema history
You can also find a Delorean screen Chassis video on the channel as well.
I’d love to have batmobile chases that feel like initial d
This was great. Thank you for making this
Fantastic video!
Thank you very much. Feel free to check out my others as well. Cheers.
Still my favourite movie car of all time.
The '89 Batmobile is my second favorite, after the 60's one.
Even Batman rocks an LS1
Dean Winchester cameo
This will always be my favourite Batmobile 👌🏻🤘🏻
Shout out to the Brampton Batman 😂👍🏻
