5. The Schumacher Batboat (Batman Forever)
Batman Forever thought everything looked better with neon lights attached to it, and the Batboat is no exception to that. Making its first appearance in the ’80s-’90s movie quadrilogy, it very much took its cues from the Batmobile designed for the Joel Schumacher movie, with a single large tailfin on its back and that blue fluorescent light display radiating throughout its main body. It also features that unbelievably long exhaust flame that powers it forward.
It’s a look that the Batman Forever vehicles pulled off incredibly well (even the wings of the Batwing had that blue light display) but if we’re being honest, the Batboat is the least exciting design of the three. It’s not that there is anything wrong with it, but it’s just a little less cool than its counterparts. Nevertheless, it’s still very, very cool.
It doesn’t last very long in the film, as The Riddler destroys it when Batman and Robin approach his hideout, but thankfully an ejector seat meant that the Boy Wonder could escape without injury. And hey, even with its short amount of screentime, it looked incredibly badass – especially in that epic shot where the Batwing flies overhead as the Dynamic Duo make their way across the water to take down some villains.
