Moto Poll: Which of Batman's Wild Rides Would You Choose?

Monday July 7, 2008
Batman's Batpod

Last December we got a glimpse of Batman's insanely industrial Batpod motorcycle, and this past weekend the caped crusader's two and four-wheeled rides made an appearance at the British Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone.

F1 pilot Jarno Trulli is seen here straddling the Batpod, though the vector-intensive Batmobile got the privilege of making a demonstration lap alongside the considerably tinier Toyota Formula 1 car.*

Batman's Batmobile

Suppose you could grab the keys of one of the Batman's wild rides, which would you choose?

1. The Batmobile. It's badass enough to make the Batpod look like a children's toy.
2. The Batpod. Two wheels are always cooler than four, especially when it comes to Batman's garage.
3. Batman can keep both of his vehicular contraptions; they don't quicken my pulse.

How can anything that looks like a chiropractor’s table with wheels ever be cool? Keep the Batpod. Gimme the Batmobile any day of the week!
