For the uninitiated, the Baaghi 3 director had purchased the customised car as a gift to his wife on her birthday. Based on the design of the Batmobile driven by actor Michael Keaton in 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns, this classic 1989 Batmobile was designed by director Tim Burton. It is widely considered the most popular and the best representation of the Batmobile.
