Part Five
Are batmobiles art deco and if so what makes them art deco?"

Is Batman & Robin 1997 batmobile: Is the batmobile art deco? YES
“The Batmobile that Batman drives imparted a neo-noir, slightly futuristic neo-modern art deco look.”

Most movie critics at the time described the style and batmobile in similar terms to this critique : The movie style was gaudy, theatrical, and overindulgent, but the Batmobile that Batman drives imparted a neo-noir, slightly futuristic neo-modern art deco look.

Harald Belker was the conceptual illustrator that designed this Batmobile under direction from Joel Schumacher. Belker also designed the Redbird, Bathammer and Batblade.

Most movie critics at the time described the style and batmobile in similar terms to this critique :The movie style was gaudy, theatrical, and overindulgent, but the Batmobile that Batman drives imparted a neo-noir, slightly futuristic neo-modern art deco look.
WIKIPEDIA: Career
“Belker’s career started in 1991 at Mercedes Benz Advanced Design in Irvine, California. As part of the team responsible for the Smart Car design, he went on to work independently, eventually ending up in entertainment design. Here he had his most significant success. He also explored furniture design, his Maxelle chair winning the excellent award, and he is responsible for the design of the line of sunglasses for Kaenon Polarized, a Newport Beach, California–based company, that focuses on fashionable but active lifestyle. He has published a couple of design books, Pulse, explaining his future vision for high-speed vehicle racing, and Ride, which showcases the design of a futuristic electric motorcycle. Since late 2012 he has been working for Anki, a robotics and artificial intelligence startup company whose headquarters is in San Francisco.”

There is much more distance between architecture and car characteristic in GOTHIC than in ART DECO.

GOTHIC VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS:
Most important element: MACABRE
macabre [məˈkäbrə, məˈkäb]
ADJECTIVE
disturbing and horrifying because of involvement with or depiction of death and injury.
synonyms:
gruesome · grisly · grim · gory · morbid · ghastly · unearthly · lurid · grotesque · hideous · horrific · horrible · horrifying · horrid · horrendous · terrifying · frightening · frightful · fearsome · shocking · dreadful · appalling · loathsome · repugnant · repulsive · sickening · black · weird · unhealthy · sick.

Color: Vast majority Black or dark purple

Most sought after hearses

Frequently decorated with death related symbols, decals, paint jobs, and themes.

THE REBEL https://www.rebelsmarket.com/blog/posts/the-ultimate-guide-to-a-goth-car.html

"Who doesn’t like a good Goth car? Sleek, black, macabre and most importantly individualistic and unique. They may not be the fastest, newest or have all the mod-coms, but one thing is for sure. No two Goth cars will ever be the same, as they are a reflection of the owners personality.

Whether your parents have agreed to get you your own car, or you’ve managed to save enough money to get your very own no parental input required, there are a few ways you can let your goth personality shine through. You want your car to fit in with your lifestyle and reflect your personality; ‘complete the outfit’ as it were. Short of owning an old school hearse, or being trotted around in the even older horse drawn version, there are a few simple ways you can turn your every day car, into the ultimate 'Goth Vehicle’.

If you are still in the car buying stage, look for black, or dark purple cars, and don’t worry too much if it’s a little dinged up, this just ads to the authenticity. Classic cars are better; they add an all-important element of sophistication and grandeur. If you’ve already got a car, and it’s not black or purple, or your parents picked up that ultra safe Toyota Corolla in ‘pretty’ pink, don’t despair; you can still turn your car into a Goth machine. Save up and give you car a Goth paint-make-over!"

Is the 1966 Batmobile art deco style? NO
The 1966 batmobile artistic style is classified as sixties futuristic chic.

WIRED
“BEFORE THERE WAS Michael Keaton there was Adam West and before the iconic 1989 Batmobile went Art Deco under Tim Burton's watch the 1966 batmobile was the epitome of sixties futuristic chic.
The 1960s was a golden age for car performance and design. New, modernized tech from racing was making its way into road-going vehicles, while design houses were churning out some of the most magnificent products of the century. The 1960s were a time for experimentation.
Metal was also pushed and polished, creating forms that echoed the shiny, futuristic era of space travel.
The space race (1955-1975) was having a significant influence during the 1960s, and car designers, and the car buying public were both chasing after futuristic and modern styles and technology.”

Is the Batman Tumbler art deco? NO It is defined as geometrically influenced postmodernism.
Christopher Nolan’s artistic style for the Batman Tumbler is frequently defined as geometrically influenced postmodernism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinematic_style_of_Christopher_Nolan
Wikipedia
Defining postmodern art
The juxtaposition of old and new, especially with regards to taking styles from past periods and re-fitting them into modern art outside of their original context, is a common characteristic of postmodern art.
Postmodernism describes movements which both arise from, and react against or reject, trends in modernism. General citations for specific trends of modernism are formal purity, medium specificity, art for art's sake, authenticity, universality, originality and revolutionary or reactionary tendency, i.e. the avant-garde. However, paradox is probably the most important modernist idea against which postmodernism reacts. Paradox was central to the modernist enterprise, which Manet introduced. Manet's various violations of representational art brought to prominence the supposed mutual exclusiveness of reality and representation, design and representation, abstraction and reality, and so on. The incorporation of paradox was highly stimulating from Manet to the conceptualists.
The status of the avant-garde is controversial: many institutions argue being visionary, forward-looking, cutting-edge, and progressive are crucial to the mission of art in the present, and therefore postmodern art contradicts the value of "art of our times". Postmodernism rejects the notion of advancement or progress in art per se, and thus aims to overturn the "myth of the avant-garde". Rosalind Krauss was one of the important enunciators of the view that avant-gardism was over, and the new artistic era is post-liberal and post-progress. Griselda Pollock studied and confronted the avant-garde and modern art in a series of groundbreaking books, reviewing modern art at the same time as redefining postmodern art.
One characteristic of postmodern art is its conflation of high and low culture through the use of industrial materials and pop culture imagery. Postmodern art is noted for the way in which it blurs the distinctions between what is perceived as fine or high art and what is generally seen as low or kitsch art. While this concept of "blurring" or "fusing" high art with low art had been experimented during modernism, it only ever became fully endorsed after the advent of the postmodern era. Postmodernism introduced elements of commercialism, kitsch and a general camp aesthetic within its artistic context; postmodernism takes styles from past periods, such as Gothicism, the Renaissance and the Baroque and mixes them to ignore their original use in their corresponding artistic movement. Such elements are common characteristics of what defines postmodern art.
Fredric Jameson suggests postmodern works abjure any claim to spontaneity and directness of expression, making use instead of pastiche and discontinuity.
One compact definition is postmodernism rejects modernism's grand narratives of artistic direction, eradicating the boundaries between high and low forms of art, and disrupting genre's conventions with collision, collage, and fragmentation. Postmodern art holds all stances are unstable and insincere, and therefore irony, parody, and humor are the only positions critique or revision cannot overturn. "Pluralism and diversity" are other defining features.

Is the Batman v Superman DOJ / Justice League batmobile Art Deco? / gothic, classic look? / futuristic postmodern? / futuristic early 21st century chic ? / ?????? Put me down for futuristic early 21st century chic.
http://www.batmobilehistory.com/2016-batman-v-superman-batmobile.php
“On creating the car, production designer Patrick Tatopoulos said his goal was to return the Batmobile to a "gothic, classic look." He wanted to bring back the long hood and flat canopy of Anton Furst's design, and give the car something similar to Batman's flowing cape.”
The problem is that what Patrick Tatopoulos calls a “gothic, classic look” of Burton/Anton Furst design; Burton/Anton Furst call art deco as do almost all the media critiques and observations.
“Gothic classic look” is primarily an architectural description.
Batman ’89 & Batman Returns (The Burton/Keaton Batmobile), 1989 & 1992
A typical critique/observation often involves the following or something like:
"It’s fairly sleek and simple, so far as big screen Batmobiles go, with an incredibly cool Art Deco design to reflect the overall aesthetic of Tim Burton’s Gotham City."

Batman Arkham Origins Batman Full Scale Cowl Replica
Manufacturer: TRIFORCE 500 pieces will be made available worldwide

Full scale Batman cowl is not new, but the Batman Arkham Origins Batman Full Scale Cowl Replica you see here is definitely worthy of a mention (and many mentions after this), because it is not just a 1:1 scale Cape Crusader’s cowl based on the video game of the same name, it could also be an awesome decorative light too, albeit a rather pricey one – thanks to its unique light up functionality.

Cast in polystone, the replica is intricately hand-sculpted and painted by the artisans over at TriForce and boasts extreme attention to details, right down to the scratches on the cowl. But perhaps, the most impressive coolest part is the base which it sits on.

The stand is actually a miniaturized version of part of the Batcave and comes complete with nine LED lights, of which eight are searchlights and one presumably buried under the transparent giant head sculpt and bust of dear Mr. Bruce Wayne. The ‘searchlights’ bathes the cowl with deserving the shine, while the LED under the bust makes like the cowl is floating. It is a full scale replica, so expect this thing to be ginormous, measuring a good 26 inches (66 cm) tall and weighing in at a hefty 35 lbs (15.9 kg). The latter is something to note when shipping this item as it will definitely bump up the cost of ownership. Just thought that you should know.

Received an email today asking, " what kind of display cases should I use as a modern collector to display my most prized Batman pieces?"

Many kinds of display cases are used by collectors who describe themselves as modern.
When they say modern these collectors are usually describing the surrounding rooms décor and furnishings that the collectables will be housed in. Thus, modern décor.

So, Colonial, western, and early American display cases and cabinets are usually not chosen.

Polished stainless steel, polished / anodized / chrome plated aluminum, metal framed glass cases, towers, and wall cabinets are frequently used. Chrome plated plastic frames with plexiglass are often substituted for metal and glass when a cheaper alternative is desired. Accent display lighting is also common in "Modern" displays.

The most used "Modern" Wall Display Case offers a distinguished style, with a multi-faceted aluminum frame and distinctive hexagon-shaped corners.

The attached photo-image is from the Waddell's Prominence Series Wall Display Case offers a distinguished style, with a multi-faceted aluminum frame and distinctive hexagon-shaped corners. Cost 1700.oo

A similar case that uses chrome plated plastic frames with plexiglass sells for 100-200 dollars.
