Sure, Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman 2’ may be years away, but this Lamborghini Revuelto, already an engineering marvel, has been reborn as a beast that could roll straight out of Bruce Wayne’s secret Batcave. Draped in a stealthy black finish with upgrades from Novitec and Vossen, this supercar pulses with the electrifying menace of Gotham’s grittiest streets. Will we see it in the film? That is yet to be seen.
This isn’t some backyard kit car slapped together by an overzealous fan. Mecum’s 1989 Batmobile is an officially licensed Warner Bros. creation, built as a stunt and exhibition vehicle for Tim Burton’s Batman (1989). Recently restored to its gothic glory, it’s a functional piece of movie history that’s less about daily commutes and more about embodying Bruce Wayne’s brooding alter ego. No official price estimate is listed, but a similar ‘89 Batmobile fetched $1.5 million in 2022, so brace your wallet.
Batman fans already know that the Batmobile used in the 1966-1968 live action television show as well as its film adaption was based on a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car. One man from Ohio decided to recreate the iconic vehicle, but with a few twists, such as buttons for a flame thrower, guns, heat scarf, a blade, and more.

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy introduced Batman’s Tumbler, and now, an architectural student has created an electric version. This Batmobile looks just like its real-life counterpart, but with a few modern upgrades underneath, minus the weapons.

If Bugatti designed the next Batmobile, it might look something like the Next-57. This all-electric vehicle combines past and present into an eye-catching design, complete with rounded LED headlights as well as a mirror black finish. Auto enthusiasts probably already know that even early Bugatti models had engine blocks that were hand scraped to ensure that the surfaces were so flat that gaskets were not required for sealing.
