How many are there that are owned/licensed by the WB? And where is the original "original" one used on screen in 1989?

It is listed in the old posts..... Go read for a change!!

"There were actually 9 cars built for the films. Each with very specific functions. Two shells were sent to England for use on the set of Returns. One of these cars was assembled by the FX team at Pinewood Studios to become the "turntable" car for use in the clown roasting scene. Both of these cars remain in England today. EVERY screen used car is serial numbered in 3 very specific places. Subsequent promotional cars are even numbered with the special "PR" prefix to their number."

There was two driveable Keaton Batmobiles built for the movies. WB still owns the number one and two cars, both are in storage. They were leased out to OnStar for 3 million dollars for a three-year tour. Both cars received a new gunmetal gray paint job and made six OnStar commercials.

There were numerous promo cars and Jay Ohrburg’s Six Flag cars built to be used for the Six Flag shows. There were cockpit mock-ups built for interior shots, one of the car museums has one of these.
