The 1966
Batman movie was the first feature-length cinematic outing for the
Caped Crusader and was based on the camp
Batman TV series, featuring
Adam West as the titular hero and
Burt Ward as the
Boy Wonder, 'Robin'.

In addition to featuring Batman's four main villains from the TV show,
The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin and
Catwoman, the film also introduced the world to the
Batboat, Batcopter and a new
Batcycle.

I'm not sure if this is the original vehicle used in the movie and 60's TV show or one of the four replicas produced and used for tours at car shows, but it's still pretty cool to see this bit of comic book history in person.
If you like this, be sure to check out the
Batmobile from 1989's Batman on display, plus take a look at this
Camo Tumbler from The Dark Knight Rises for a more modern
Batmobile design.
