Staying with the superhero theme the long running Batman series has transformed the character from a comic book story into a multi million dollar movie franchise. Batman has been played by George Clooney, Christian Bale, and the upcoming 2022 film will feature Robert Pattinson of Twilight vampire movie fame. However, in the 1960s version of Batman the number plate BAT 1 appears. It is not the only registration to appear on the Batmobile, but it is the most sought after.
