If you're talking comics-- I love the 1940s and 1950s Batmobiles-- but if you're talking live action there is only one Batmobile in my opinion-- the 1966. The rest of them are just pale imitations.

I'll admit the Barris Batmobile isn't the most practical, but it's definitely the coolest

I am prejudiced here, and I will play Devil's Advocate, but my favourite live-action "Batmobile" would be the 1968 Ford Thunderbird used in Batman 1969.

Seriously, though I know the 1966 Batmobile has that special quality that holds up after almost 47 years!

On screen, there is only one Batmobile that matters. In the comics, too, but it's a different one. I give you the Batmobile of 1950. (Considering my screen name, this should come as no surprise)

Catfan,

I had no idea what Batman 1969 was. I just checked it out. I'll stick with George Barris' timeless rolling marvel! ;)

Hey Catfan, I had to post after I saw your pics. Now of course my favorite Batmobile is the '66, as a matter of fact I'm building one right now. But the reason I'm posting is because my second favorite Batmobile is my 68 Thunderbird! I thought that was pretty cool when I saw that, because you just don't see that style Tbird around much. I think it is highly underrated. Cool to see your car!

Catfan, just curious, what color is that 68 Bird in your video?
