Driving a Batmobile is the stuff of dreams as a kid, and Mike is getting to slide behind the wheel of one of the coolest ever seen on film - a replica of the 1989 Tim Burton/Michael Keaton Batmobile. It's not quite the original jet turbine car, but a hefty Chevy V8 should do the trick!

I think a rotary from a Mazda RX-7 would be perfect for a Batmobile, both in speed and also sound.

Sorry but their is only one true batmobile and it was driven by Adam West
I Absolutely HATED the Joel Schumacher Batman.
What whould be the trio's (jezza, hamster, capt. Slow) reaction to this?
The original George Barris creation batmobie is the definitive one!
Cool build but what the heck is wrong with the engine? I have never heard a chevy 350 sound that horrible. Doesn't sound like a 350.
OR... Comic book nonsense is for kids and if you dabble in this pulp as an adult, you are pathetic?
Casey Putsch is the guy who built turbine version. He has a youtube channel and hes a regular on vinwiki
He needs to see Casey Putsch's turbine powered Batmobile.
Michael Keaton is actually only 5'9. He must've been sat on a few copies of the Yellow Pages when he was driving the car.
You should either get better editing software or buy a better camera, cause 1080P does not look like 1080P XD
We need more Lucy Brown and less everything else... This one was cool but Lucy videos are for sure the best. We need a series of Lucy Brown building the worlds fastest Mini with the help of the trio
Maybe I shouldn't be throwing money at my phone at the Doctor's waiting room?!!
Michael Keaton was the best Batman by far, Christian Bale was the next best & all the others have been a complete joke, the new film looks like a throwback to the Keaton style & looks worth a watch.
I'm so confused by how you think people think more fondly of the Joel Schumacher movies than the Tim Burton movies
cool video
Who not downshift if you need to slow down that bad. Softies don't need a v8 lol. Leave them to use big boys little kids.
I'm guessing the hand break reference is to it being an Austin Rover part and having one in his V8 Allegro build. And wow it was either gutless or he wasn't allowed to push it at all judging by the editing.
this is why i gave Hammond's island peltier failure a 2 star. nolocal.info/have/video/pZOoZsdsmKuZ054
So funny you guys have bat mobiles with steering wheels on the wrong side
Micheal Keaton's Batman is by no means "underrated"! It's considered to be the best one if you were there in 1989
I find it annoying that it’ll get away with black plates yet I can’t put them on my car from 89, funky looking thing tho
Whenever an American mispronounces something British, we rightly get corrected. That isn’t a “5.7-litre V8”. That’s a “350 Chevy”. Just so you know. Cheers.
Love the content. Work on the audio! Thanks
The outro music made me think I had one of pestilys videos on in the background somewhere.
I think the handbrake was a fairly standard Austin/Rover part in the late 70’s and early 80’s So it was in a few different cars.
Ya, That one...
Keeps looking at the wrong camera
Manscape using cancer awareness campaign to sell a product is despicable!
That in my eyes is the best Batmobile in any of the Batman films.
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
This isn't Jeff Dunham's Batmobile, is it?
reminded me to look, its out in 4k, awesome!
This was 100% the best Batmobile. There's absolutely no doubt. If you disagree, you're wrong.
I live buy that airfield/ track.
That handbrake looks the same as in my old Austin Mini Cooper lol
The hand brake looks similar to an old VW Bug, but I swear it is the same as I had in my 1970 Opel GT,
This was my childhood Batmobile!
i wonder what hammond's opinion about this and 1 question, is it street legal?
Never really a fan of Batman etc but that looks like a wicked car.
Jeff Dunhams is voice activated too
Shoutout to Casey Putch who built a real jet powered batmobile and daily drove it.
Handbrake looks like it's from an mg bgt

So, what does "based on a 1965 Mustang" mean? Is this a kit that just used the Mustang frame dimensions and wheelbase, or did they an actual Mustang for it? If the latter, I don't think even turning it into a Batmobile will save the owner from the Petrol Gods' karmic wrath of dropping a *Chevy* engine into *1965 Mustang.*
Kelly McGillis is only 5'10'. Be thankful you're not Tom Cruise. lol
jesus lord almighty calm your dialect
That handbrake is from the Austin Princess or Ambassador and I can’t remember which one.
The handbrake looks like it came from Austin, or the Hillman Hunter cars.
What happened to Russ Martins bat mobile?
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
1966 batmobile
v i g i l a n t e
Handbrake looks like a hillman/Talbot item, possibly Avenger or Sunbeam
Its embarrassing in my opinion. Its nice if your 10 years old
one of the best looking batmobile alongside ben affleck's batmobile
brakes are irrelevant, cars were meant to go, not stop.
Gta 5 players assemble
By far the best batmobile version
Is this Movie Car Central's batmobil?
I'm BATMAN
Looks like the handbrake in my dad's old Morris Marina circa late 70s.
Why do you need brakes? Surely you just use the grappling hooks to drag it round the corner.
The Keaton Batmobile is definitely my favorite.
Handbrake seems like a late 70s, early 80s Cellica or Datsun.
Btas Batmobile. Half Keaton, half metropolis.
65 mustang with a different body? So it’s a falcon
Are you sure it's a manual gear box didn't see your hands leave the steering wheel once.
Just put a pillow on top of seat.
@Casey Putsch 2:14
Isn't this Adar Poonawalla's car?

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.
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.
Same one we have here in melbourne Australia, dude built it 15 years ago. :) drives on our roads too.
The handbrake, and the oval steel surround is the same as a 70's Jensen-Healey
Where abouts was this filmed?
Did Counts Customs build this?
I have the lego version of this proudly displayed in my room!
Does 1989 Tim Burton make it the original Shmeemobile? 😂
What's the music at the end?
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.
Is the handbrake from a Morris Marina?
not sure what is more annoying, NOlocal inserting arbitrary ads into videos at the most inopportune times or DriveTribe actually creating ads in the middle of a video on purpose. Actually I do know what's worse....
The TAS version looks best for me :)
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.
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
what is this pestily outro music
Is there room for a wheelchair in it Mike?
Meh. The Casey Putsch one is sooo much better! nolocal.info/have/video/fIWgm9uPu6ybzIg
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.
I liked the tumbler and the one from batman v superman
This was a weird video. It started off all exciting. Then it is about a car that was not in the movie, then it became clear that there is a turbine engine one but not this one. And then when it could not be more sadning a add starts about manscaping...... But that was not enough it had to be about testicular cancer. Highligting some of us will suffer it. I mean from the hope of escapism, fantasy and pure joy it went from realism to depression really quick. Maybe not do this add after making everyone excited over a bat mobile and lowering the excitement. Those things add up. Keep up the excitement though the energy made me at least watch 5 minutes. Else I would have clicked away after saying there are ones with a turbine engine. Watching those.
Sorry but their is only one true batmobile and it was driven by Adam West
The 89 is THE Batmobile.
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.
I wanna pick up my kid from school in that :-)
1:45 If the Elder Wand was a handbrake.
If one had an evil streak one may advertise as a clown for kids parties, dress up as the Joker and rock up in this with a replica Batman's head under your arm...
What about the jet engine in the back??
