The Batcycle, Batblade, or Batpod is the fictional personal motorcycle of the DC Comics superhero Batman.
[1] In the comic book universe, Batman's personal Batcycle is a modified street-bike with a 786 cc liquid-cooled V-4 engine.
When the series was canceled, Kustomotive used the Batcycle in car shows, paying royalties to Greenway, 20th Century Fox, and National Comics Publications.
Robin's sidecar, a detachable self-propelled vehicle, was authenticated by Burt Ward on the television series Hollywood Treasure and sold at auction for $30,000.
The Batblade[6] is the name of a specialized motorcycle used by Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone) in the 1997 film Batman & Robin.
[13] The Batpod's chassis can also elongate, allowing the rider to pass under low-hanging obstacles, as when Batman slaloms underneath a tractor trailer the Joker is driving.
Batman launches the Batcyle from the armored troop carrier vehicle "Flying Fox" he and Cyborg repair in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
The Batcyle is presumably destroyed when one of Alberto's henchmen derails a petrol tanker and blows it up, leading Batman to continue the chase on foot.
Additionally, the Batcycle appears to have front-mounted machine guns, though this is not shown, and the capability to launch extendable spike strips in the form of spheres.
It also has a retractable battering ram in the shape of a huge, crossed arrow that allows it to go through wreckage easily, and the flaps directly in front of the rider can rise up to provide cover from gunfire.
Production on The Flash was halted after a camera operator was injured following crashing into a Batman stunt double aboard the Batcycle.
[14][15] The Batcycle is the Batman’s sleekest mode of transport, and perfect for racing through Gotham’s streets at breakneck speeds.
The first is in the episode, "The Cat and the Bat," in which Catwoman steals Batman's utility belt and inadvertently sends the Batmobile careening out of control on autopilot.
