3. The Batcycle

On the rare occasion that the Batmobile is damaged (or Batman would just rather a more compact way of travel), the Caped Crusader brings out the Batcycle (a.k.a. the Batbike) to traverse his way through the streets of Gotham. It’s normally a typical motorcycle with some Bat-like upgrades, with most designs usually featuring some kind of Bat-ears on their fronts.

That said, the most well-known incarnation in today’s day and age features none of that. The Batpod, introduced in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, is known for its unique design and look in that it’s essentially a stripped down motorcycle with two large wheels and two operating handles on the front. Its sleek look and the smooth way that it moved through the city endeared it to so many fans, and there was no better platform to showcase it in than the two most successful Batman movies of all time.

The Batcycle is not quite as well-known to mainstream audiences as the Batmobile but it has made a number of live-action and animated appearances over the past six decades in its more traditional incarnation to ensure we never forgot about it, including the 1966 Batman TV series, Batman: The Animated Series, Batwoman, The Batman, and most recently The Flash.
