Making its debut on the second season of the The CW series “Batwoman”, is a new Batmobile based on the C7 Corvette.
According to writer and executive producer Caroline Dries in an interview with Insider, the car was supposed to appear at the end of season one when they started designing it, but the COVID-19 pandemic got in the way and they had to push its reveal back. She then went on to say the delay was fortuitous, as they got to introduce the car as if it were a new “character” in the premiere.

The car being used for the Batmobile is a Corvette, specifically a C7. Dries said it’s “based on a new Corvette chassis” which is partially correct, as while the mid-engined C8 is the newest generation, the C7 is still relatively new considering the Corvette’s been around for over 60 years. The car received the VFX treatment to give it its wings and “extra gack,” as Dries called it. And even if it’s not the brand new Corvette, it’s certainly an improvement from the motorcycle Ruby Rose’s Batwoman rode around on in season one.
The new Batmobile appeared on the season two premiere, where it was initially hidden behind a fake wall. Warren Christie’s character made his way into the Batcave, stole the car, and used it to chase down Ryan Wilder, the new Batwoman played by Javicia Leslie.
