How many Batphones are there?

Post by bat-rss »

We know that there are Batphones in Bruce's study, the Batcave, the Batmobile, and Gordon's office. I'm trying to recall if the show (or movie) ever gave us instances of Batphone usage in the Batcopter, Batboat, or Batcycle. Can anyone point to specific examples that showed the existence of a Batphone in the other Bat-vehicles?

There's got to be a portable Batphone somewhere in the series, but I can't think of one. Wasn't there a phone in the Londinium Commissioners office too?

Ben, you're from Londinium-- let us know how you guys called Batman.

There’s the portable mini-Batphone in Batman’s utility belt that Randy duplicated:

There was also a Batphone in the portable Batlab that he used to tell Commisioner Gordon that he was about to restore Gothams drinking water.

Aren’t there stills from the movie depicting Batman using a Batphone from the crashed Batcopter?

Couldn't find one on either Batcycle.

Two in the Batcave for "Marsha Queen of Diamonds":

Took a look at the movie. It's in the Batcopter for sure.

Doesn't seem to be in the Batboat.

What a great question-- as a lifelong fan my initial thought is two-- Bruce's Study and Commissioner Gordon's office. Oh wait- one in the Batcave too! And then on and on-- so where are we now?

Bruce's Study (1)
Batcave (2)
Batmobile (1)
Batcopter (1)
Portable Lab Case (1)
Utility Belt (1)
Londinium (2)

So what does that make, 9? 10 if we count the Golf Cart. I need one of those when I'm on the links.

You mentioned Gordon's Office but didn't add it to your total list. Also, I think it would be best to only include on screen phones. So, no cart. That would bring the total to 10.

Bruce's Study (1)
Batcave (2)
Batmobile (1)
Batcopter (1)
Portable Lab Case (1)
Utility Belt (1)
Londinium (2)

I needed a Batgirl phone, so 13-year-old me could call her up. ;?)

Ooh, I'd forgotten about the one in the mobile batlab! The strawberry axle grease in the reservoir....

Batcopter noted. I would think the Batboat would have had one, but they never got an opportunity to show it in use. With the exception of the boat pulling up beside Archer's boat, the Batboat on the show was always the "driving away in the Batboat" footage from the movie.

Hmm, did they never call the commissioner from the boat in the movie? Will have to notice next time I watch it.

Interesting that Batman would have BOTH a Batphone AND a Bat-walkie talkie in his utility belt. Seems a bit redundant.

Thanks for all the info, citizens!
