Batmobile

Cave-parked crime-fighter

The Batmobile is Batman's car—a sleek, heavily armed vehicle featured in DC Comics and its film and television adaptations.

Each version reimagines the car with different styling, from the 1960s TV show's campy fins to the tank-like tumbler of Christopher Nolan's films.

The word sometimes describes any dramatically customized or imposing vehicle: He pulled up in some kind of batmobile with tinted windows and no door handles.
