Batplane

Gotham's dark jet

The Batplane is Batman's aircraft in DC Comics, a customized jet used for aerial pursuit and rapid travel to crime scenes.

Like the Batmobile and other "Bat-" vehicles, it extends the superhero's reach beyond Gotham's streets.

The design varies across comics, films, and television adaptations—sometimes a sleek fighter jet, sometimes a vertical-takeoff craft.

Also called the Batwing.
