Batman Vehicles

Batmobile from the TV series Batman.  They only used one vehicle in the TV show but it was modified a few times.  At the first it was painted flat black.  Over time they added a cutter to the front of the car.  And they also changed up the pin striping color and locations.  Hot Wheels has made dozens of variations of this vehicle, in a couple sizes.  All the 1/64th scale versions will interchange the interior, wheels, body, and window glass.  They are easy to take apart and easy to put back together if you want to swap parts.  This one was taken apart and given a different body version.
Stately Wayne Manor from Funko Pop Town series of buildings.
Jada Batcycle, one of two versions.  The first was a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with sidecar.  This one is a Yamaha with sidecar that carries a dismountable go cart.
Batboat was made about the same time as the Batmobile and there was no real coordination between the car and boat makers. So the boat came out blue and white while the car is black.  Model by Hot Wheels.
The last TV show vehicle is the Batcopter.  It is a real flying helicopter modified with a special paint job and bat wings.  The helicopter still exists and still flies.  The FAA made them take the wings off however, because it reduced lift too much.  Still pretty cool that it still exists.  This is by Hot Wheels and can be modified to a large number of other versions, mostly by removing the wings, which is simple, and repainting.

Batcycle

Generic 1/72nd scale figure with the Jada Batcycle.
This Batcycle was built on a Yamaha Catalina 250 motorcycle.
The sidecar carried a go cart that could drive off of a ramp and Robin used it to deploy to his side of the Batcopter.
This is an excellent model and the markings are great.
I have two of them and I am considering making one with the removable go cart, or making the combo with a Batman and Robin figures riding them.
This set is not exactly rare but it is not new either so it can be hard to find.
Looking down you can see the go cart sort of nestled into the side car.  The go cart and side car are cast as one piece.
