Handbrake lever is from a series 2 land rover it was attached to the drivers seat bucket and had that oval bolted leather boot. Just like that one.. My wife had a S2 landy..that's how I know👍
This is the original Batmobile for me, it departed from the original series Batmobile and was truely a character in its own right. The outlandish designs from the later mobies were pale imitations and never had that same spirit. The Tumbler is a completely different animal, just like everything else in the Chistopher Nolan movies, and I'd hold it up right beside this one as the true embodyment of the spirit of the Batmobile. That said, this Batmobile has a special place in my heart, right beside the Ecto-1, and Kitt... and probably a few others I'm forgetting.
I grew up to the 1989 Batman movie and it's sequel respectfully. And ever since then, this has been my favorite of all Batmobile's. Oh man some people just have all the fun. If I had even a replica, I could live and die happier ever after.
personally I always loved the batmobile from Batman The Animated Series, its very similar to this one but maybe more realized being like a 30 foot long absolute beast of a car that bruce wayne had personally built for him by one singular engineer
It's so weird to hear people say "an underrated Batman" about the Burton movies. Burton's Batman set a new standard for superhero movies. It was, for a very long time, seen as the gold standard for Batman. And as a movie, it still holds up to this day. The visual design especially is some of the best ever, and last time I checked, it was still fairly widely accepted as such, and not just my personal opinion. And all of a sudden, Burton's Batman is considered as underrated? Perhaps forgotten, because a lot of Batman fans today weren't born when that movie came out, and many young people aren't interested in seeing movies that are older than themselves, but I still think among those who were alive when the Burton movies came out, this is considered to be the ultimate Batmobile.
@@Bulldog1878 I think he is more than 1" taller than Hammond, although not sure where you get the idea that a short car enthusiast would wish they were taller (lots of very nice older cars are not tall-person friendly!)
V8, that’s cute. Casey Putsch is the one who has the actually turbine powered one. Seriously though, as someone who has had testicular cancer, the attention is appreciated :)
No other Batmobile replica comes close to what Casey managed (if you can even call it a replica as it's arguably more authentic than the actual movie prop).
The editor really needs to stop cutting between shots, have a look at examples of track driving from top gear from the last 20 years, its just a bit off putting otherwise, I believe you can do it
We want to watch *THE CAR*, not you. Voicover is OK, but you could show us the car while you talk. Or at least I hope you have the ability... I notice that you didn't get spendy enough to bother with a tripod at the track 😩
I saw one of these outside Detroit in a town called Livonia just driving around. It turned my head so hard while riding my motorcycle I nearly crashed. 10/10 Would turn head again.
I've seen one in Sydney, the guy who made it said that he used some of the original parts, I think the back wings was from the actual movie. It was amazing to see this thing in real life.
Of the interest I would not like to see someone lose for a moment.Get yourself a fast car & take your time acquiring or building a new car.Get a hover bike & practice.Start off with racing drones for perfect camera placement & do your best getting into the process of making movies.
My favorite with the Tumbler, this survitamined humvee mixed with a rebound, remember that RC car from the 90’? The Tumbler is legendary, like the movies ! But the 89’ batmobile is a rolling sculpture 🤩
I've got a picture of me sitting in that car. It was taken at a car show back in 2001 or 2002, I can't remember. It's an incredibly tight fit to get into.
@Bugatti Chiron Supersport Probably but just barely. I was 6 foot 2 inches tall and 220lbs back then and now I'm 6 foot 3 inches tall and 236lbs so I could probably cram myself in there. In all honesty I have trouble getting in most small cars, lol.
@@jbtOO7it’s literally an awful take. The Tim Burton movies are the highest praised Batman movies besides The Dark Knight. And even then I’d argue the Tim Burton ones are better **Batman** movies.

@@amanwholikescars The point is that the guy he's referencing is also an automotive youtuber so maybe it would have bee nice to at least say the name and mention that fact. It's not absolutely necessary, but it does seem like it would be more curteous to show people where they can find that.
I‘ve got that handbrake handle in my 1971 Reliant Bug 750 ES. Which does not mean a lot because those things were build from whatever they found in the scrap yard that day.
The 1989 Batmobile was always the best looking IMO, it has an old timey Trans-Atlantic feel which makes it perfect. Again it needs an engine from an RX-7
I've driven one of these in VR that I modded into GTA V. It's nearly impossible to see over the hood. Literally all you can see is the bulge for the turbine. I still think this is the best Batmobile.
I love the irony of the fact that he says, "I suppose there's no such thing as a 5'10 batman." when Michael Keaton, who played batman in the movies this car came from was only 5'9.
Now you gotta come to the states and drive Casey Putsch's for the real experience. Gas turbine engines are cooler than 350s lol and I say that as a lifetime Chevy guy.
What a great idea. A feature perfect for The Grand Tour. The iconic Movie and TV car shootout. I'd imagine Hammond turning up in the General Lee, Clarkson in the original Batmobile and May in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! Lol
1. Catwoman was beautiful and probably the best ride.. 2. Was the original car, only because, I had a toy one as a kid. In 3rd place is the dark night vehicle.. the military looking one!!

Old Austin mini handbrake?
If only we could get cpt slow in the turbine one for a top speed run...sigh..
Paid advertisment legaly should be disclosed. We see you
Sorry but their is only one true batmobile and it was driven by Adam West
Morris Marina handbrake?

Best batmobile as far as I'm concerned. Epic machine, love the sound of the engine!
I still like the turbine powered version Casey Putsch built! 😎
You beat me to this comment. Too bad Casey's has gone into hiding for a while.
Can’t beat Caseys build though. Can remember watching the episode driving on the highway, mad!
Casey's blows this away by far.
Bingo
I came here to say just this 🤣🤣🤣

The shields on the 1989 one inspired the Animated Series look.

I dunno about young people not watching older films- a lot of us are very open minded, especially the geekier kind.
Looks like an Allegro handbrake. A lot of people say Mini, but can remember my dads Allegro having that kind.
British Leyland parts bin perhaps?
@@TerribleUsernameAmirite Hah! Yeah, sounds about right 👍
Probably because the mini came before the allegro? therefore a mini part?
I recall my dads Allegro having that handbrake!
there was only 1 Batmobile when I was a kid and that was the Lincoln Futura.
@Dan Letts Dude you made my day ....
True, absolutely true...Who are these pretenders? 😺
@Dan Letts Spam
Exactly
Gorgeous
i respectfully disagree, the 1989 is the best imo ( and many others ) but i'm also not as old as yall ( I'm gen Y )
Gota admit I slightly jealous that you got to drive that 😮 my favourite Batmobile and Michael Keaton was definitely my favourite Batman by far
You're right, no such thing as a 5'10" Batman- because Michael Keaton is 5'9"!
HAAAAA Mike wishes he was 5'10". He's 5'7" at best
@@Bulldog1878 I think he is more than 1" taller than Hammond, although not sure where you get the idea that a short car enthusiast would wish they were taller (lots of very nice older cars are not tall-person friendly!)

Best Edition of the Batmobile EVER!
Adam West's car is the best. Adam West is, was and will always be batman.
V8, that’s cute. Casey Putsch is the one who has the actually turbine powered one.
Seriously though, as someone who has had testicular cancer, the attention is appreciated :)
Somethin ain't right with that Putsch boy!
No other Batmobile replica comes close to what Casey managed (if you can even call it a replica as it's arguably more authentic than the actual movie prop).
batman 1989, batman animated series and batman forever. the batmobiles from these 3 are the best imo
This is the coolest car ever made, above all others.
Micheal Keaton's Batman is by no means "underrated"! It's considered to be the best one if you were there in 1989
This was my childhood Batmobile!
🦇
You mentioned every bat mobile but the best one ,and that’s the original ADAM WEST one from the 60s.
The 1955 Ford Futura concept is the best.
That handbrake looks like the one on one of my Dad's old Austin Maxi's. Or my godfathers Allegro. Definitely looks BL!
my uncle has one on an MGB
That just IS the bat mobile. My favourite batmobile out of any of them.
🦇
This is THE batmobile in my head
🦇
Would have to go Adam West Bat Mobile for Me . That is a cool Car .
I watched the 1989 Batman just two days ago. It was my first taste of Batman when I was only 10.
the 1989 batmobile is easily the best
That handbrake looks like the one on my mum's Mini Clubman from the '80s.
looks like a mini to me
Im sure its old mini too
My Dad's Austin 1100 had one like that.
Yeah it’s Mini...or Morris Marina or Austin Allegro; anything that used the BL parts bin around that time basically👀😂
Definitely BL. Was thinking Marina
This is probably the best Batmobile, in the UK. He probably has one in every major country.
I was 12 when this movie came out, so this is _the_ Batmobile for me. Those Keaton movies are also the true modern Batman movies for me.
This was 100% the best Batmobile. There's absolutely no doubt. If you disagree, you're wrong.
🦇
that handbrake lever looks REMARKABLY like the one that was in my 1963 Austin Mini 850 when I owned it in 1978
Same one we have here in melbourne Australia, dude built it 15 years ago. :) drives on our roads too.

This is THE Batmobile.
I might be wrong but we had a 72 ' mini clubman the handbrake looks very similar?
The handbrake is from the 89 Batmobile
@@codebus technically the truth
@@codebus alright pack it boys the question was answered
The Keaton Batmobile is definitely my favorite.
The George Barris Batmobile was/is the best!
By far!
The 89 is THE Batmobile.
Ngl, i think i like Casey Putsch's turbine powered one better. Still though it takes a lot of dedication to build a replica like this.
1989 bat mobile is my favorite
🦇
If I ever win the lottery I'm getting one built

That in my eyes is the best Batmobile in any of the Batman films.
🦇
got the lego kit for this car... its so much fun to build
easily the best looking batmobile ever made
Michael Kenton the best Batman by far!!!
Now that is incredible
There is a bat mobile that is actually jet engine powered. I would say this is definitely sub par.
Casey Putsch (A youtuber) actually has a jet engine powered one.
This seems tame by comparison.
Surprised that the hard points of this car works so well. I wonder if a C7 Corvette or C8 Corvette would make a better base car
I remember seeing the real one in the Stars of the Cars Museum when I was a kid, I'm pretty sure it was this incarnation - such an amazing museum with such memorable cars.
Some dude made one with an actual gas turbine engine. His name is Casey Putsch if I'm not wrong.
Yes it is Casey.

Nevermind ultimate barman car it's the ultimate car
it has rocket power, a personal shield system, it's black.... but at the time what really impressed me was it had a CD player

Das Sled. Definitely a vehicle for a die hard Batman fan. The rustic head liner looks like a fiberglass head grater. ✌
All versions of the BATMOBILE have an automatic transmission.
reminded me to look, its out in 4k, awesome!
The 1989 Batmobile was always the best looking IMO, it has an old timey Trans-Atlantic feel which makes it perfect. Again it needs an engine from an RX-7
Probably too heavy though. Rotaries aren’t known for torque
This Version of The BatMobile, Actually Looked Like it Ran Off an Actual Jet-Turbine!
sign this guy already as a presenter, top gear
Michael Keaton is an underrated Batman.? Oh boy.. imagine what it would be like if everybody thought he was the best one
I've driven one of these in VR that I modded into GTA V. It's nearly impossible to see over the hood. Literally all you can see is the bulge for the turbine. I still think this is the best Batmobile.
hand brake from a austin mini from the 80's
380HP out of 5.8 V8. American engineering is amazing.
"How do they get so little horsepower out of a vee eight modurrr?"
By far the best batmobile version
Looks like you are living the dream not just driving a bat mobile but your job too and happy to say I’m jealous
I have the lego version of this proudly displayed in my room!
The handbrake is from a Wartburg 353 pickup.
I love the irony of the fact that he says, "I suppose there's no such thing as a 5'10 batman." when Michael Keaton, who played batman in the movies this car came from was only 5'9.
There is a Swedish guy called Leif Garvin who also built a extremely cool replica. He also has a Tumbler, Eleanor and some other cool cars.
This is amazing LoL I laughed for the majority of the video. The absurdity is... wow. Unreal.

The original George Barris creation batmobie is the definitive one!
This was my first Batmobile but the one from Batman Returns was my favorite! The Tumbler wasn't bad also.
Lol the replica in Dallas at six flags is basically just a flamethrower on wheels. This is what I imagined was in it as a kid
I have been to that same six flags, how have I not seen it? I need to find it next time I go.
@@johnhunter7244 Over Texas. I haven't been in years it was always sitting outside the batman and mr freeze rides
Michael Keaton is the best Batman.
Its so slick
I don't recognize that Batman has to open the roof top whit his hands. So it is over all cool but they miss some details. That could be made better.
I would just drive it around town with a Batman costume on. I'd do groceries with it
The TAS version looks best for me :)
Just passed my driving test. What's the insurance on this?
Laughs in insurance salesman.

I’d buy it in a heartbeat.🤩
I saw this a few years ago it was at a event in oxfordshire that we where exhibiting at. It might be a different one though
A small block 350 and a 5-speed make any vehicle fun!
You know it’s a car video on TH-cam if it has a Manscaped, Keeps, OMaze or random videogame promotion😂.
What about the jet engine in the back??
So funny you guys have bat mobiles with steering wheels on the wrong side
