There will be a new Batmobile and Batcycle in the upcoming The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson as the Dark Knight. There's every chance there could be other vehicles in the movie as well, and comic book fans know that Batman has an entire armada of different transports to use in different situations. Some of the best vehicles Batman uses in the comics are also some of the most iconic of all time.

They include some of the most obscure as well. While many of Batman's vehicles from DC Comics have made their way into television and movies, a few have yet to, and probably won't at this point. Still, the Whirly Bird and other transports in Batman's repertoire are among his best, showing the Dark Knight's famous reliance on unique ways to get around while he fights crime.

Batcopter

The Batcopter is one of Batman's best aircrafts because it allowed Batman to keep up with the escalating arsenals of his villains. The original Batcopter was actually an invention of one of Batman's best comic book villains, the Penguin, who created the bat-themed helicopter for his own purposes.

The Batcopter is a staple of the comic books and has been around for a very long time, first appearing in Detective Comics #171 in 1951. The helicopter allowed Batman to get around Gotham faster and attack from the air on a much greater scale than before.

Whirly Bat

The Whirly Bat is one of Batman's oddest vehicles, but it's also one of his best. This small one-man helicopter was one of Batman's earliest forays into aerial flight and was equipped with smoke grenades and grappling hooks that helped him capture criminals and also get away himself.

He relied heavily on the Whirly Bat from its first appearance in Detective Comics #257 in 1958, using it in numerous adventures and building one for each of his allies, including Robin and Kathy Kane, who comic book fans know is the original Batwoman.
