That's got to be what it is then. Of course without having it next to another, I wouldn't be able to tell if it was wide or not. One thing I don't trust in pictures is depth and width perception! Okay I guess that's two things.

Skinny A$$ (Replica)

Wide A$$ (Movie #1 Hero car)

Easy to spot with the line that runs down the rear fins outer edge. Most replica cars are narrow in the rear.

The only likely screen used one sits in Warner Bros. Storage in Hollywood. There have been a number of copies made though, the ones that Nitro mentioned.

Batmobile


Both 89's have different windows - on left they curve (top to bottom) and are narrower in front, deep recessed too. The one on the left doesn't have any turbine blades and looks solid arond the nose. They only molded the front part of the nose cone too, cause it looks shorter on the left. Differences between the #1 and #2?

I do not think these differences are 'just the angle' either. Comments?

VERY interesting! Once you start side by side comparison the differences are glaringly obvious. Thank god they didn't do that with the four '66Bats!

Could be the one on the right (#2) is just lower and the angle throws things off (or added a cut away canopy for filming Returns?). Or might be the #2 was just for stunts and long shots/dark scenes . Or might be this is just another mold from the #1 or #2 ? Comments ????

WB do have both cars still in storage/on display, as far as I know.

Where is Rusty these days ... he had a good eye for these things.

Defo both these cars have a wide a$$
