The Drifter bikeThe Drifter is another motorcycle the Batman protagonist rides, but it's designed specifically for Bruce Wayne when he's not in his costume. Viewers get to see this ride in the 2022 movie "The Batman" alongside the two other motorcycles featured.Ash Thorp also designed the Drifter bike. He wanted to evoke a modified, beat-up cafe racer. Built with the Honda CB 750 DOHC as a foundation, it's a much less fancy ride than your typical Batman mechanical device. But that's the point— Bruce Wayne must navigate Gotham City under the radar, and the Drifter helps him look like a regular civilian. In the movie, Batman uses this bike to spy on Selina Kyle.The Drifter is a utilitarian design that keeps cartoonish elements to a minimum while depicting a motorcycle built for optimum speed. It utilizes an inline four-cylinder engine with enough power to give bad guys a good chase. According to Ash Thorp, the Drifter bike retains the DNA of the Batcycle, and this translates to an edgier look on the render than what was eventually produced for the movie, which has a more realistic feel.The BatpodThe Batpod made its first and rather dramatic appearance in the 2008 Christopher Nolan-directed movie "The Dark Knight" as a new version of the Batcycle. However, the idea of the Batpod was conceived much earlier, for the making of "Batman Begins," but it was built in secret. It turned out that this innovative concept just didn't quite fit into the storyline, so its unveiling was postponed. Production designer Nathan Crowley believed that the 2005 movie was one they had to get past to build what was eventually achieved in "The Dark Knight".The Batpod was a fully custom device with a refreshing concept unique from any other Batcycle. It was designed as an escape mechanism for the iconic Batmobile, built with Hoosier racing tires and a bespoke frame that's sleek and impressive to look at. For combat, it featured grappling hook launchers and gun turrets attached to the wheels to attack enemies from a distance.The motorcycle emerges for the first time in "The Dark Knight" when The Joker uses a bazooka to destroy Batman's primary mode of transportation. It serves as an auxiliary vehicle that detaches from the Batmobile, allowing the hero greater mobility and an opportunity to escape danger. The motorcycle also appears in "The Dark Knight Rises". This time, Selina rides the pod while attempting to defeat Bane with the support of Batman. In 2023, the original Batpod was put up for auction, valued between $1 to 2 million.CW's Batwoman: The BatbikeBatwoman was originally featured in the comics in the 1950s as Batman's love interest. Interestingly, this character created and used the first ever Batcycle, though it didn't have any special capabilities. She disappeared from the comic scene for a while before reappearing in 2006 as Batman's cousin. Fans, however, got to see much of her exploits in the CW series, "Batwoman" that aired from 2019 to 2022.The Batbike, a Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron, is the heroine's mode of transportation in Gotham City. In the show, the bike is given to Kate Kane by Luke Fox to help her move around in vigilante mode without being detected by using her everyday motorcycle. There is no Batmobile for the entire first season of the series, but this doesn't hold her back, as the Harley-Davidson motorcycle is all Kate needs to speed around the city and apprehend bad guys. This was partially because CW was working with a limited budget for the series. The Batbike doesn't have any bat-like cosmetic modifications. However, it features upgrades that take it from a regular motorcycle to one suited for combat, with add-ons like smoke darts and grappling hooks.The Redbird motorcycleWhile we see Robin ride in the sidecar of the Batcycle in the 1966 "Batman" as the sidekick of the main protagonist, the character gets his own means of transportation in subsequent productions. His two-wheeler, which is named the Redbird motorcycle, first appeared on screen in the 1997 movie "Batman and Robin". This was a different approach from the comics, where what was known as the Redbird was actually a car.Harald Belker, a German automotive designer, created the conceptual design for the motorcycle. What's quite interesting is that the Redbird and the Batmobile were his first projects when he delved into the entertainment scene, spurring subsequent fantasy and futuristic designs.The Redbird is one of the most unique bikes on this list from a design perspective, but it isn't too surprising, given the creative liberties Belker had on the project. In his words, "There were no limitations. Nothing was too over-the-top. They just let me roll with my ideas." The bike, painted red and black, was 10.5 feet long and built with a prototype Honda engine. It came with some special features like grappling hooks attached to the front and two nozzles that allowed it to rise in the air for a few seconds.
