A B&M invert, and one of many coasters to share the name and layout, neither the first nor last of its name or type I can't really think of anything special to say about this Batman.
Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams
Batman the Ride's only movie credit! And what a movie to feature in!
The movie follows the Cortez siblings, now fully fledged spies, as they take on the mission to save the world from a mad scientist. Trouble starts when they get to the scientist's island and find not only is there NO technology, but also gigantic bizzare creatures you'd only find in your nightmares!
A blink and you miss it feature for the coaster! Even more-so than Titan. I actually didn't even realize this coaster was shown in the movie until I went to go grab screenshots for Titan.
Batman features in one of the very first scenes in the movie, which opens up on the fictional theme park "Trouble Maker Theme Park", named after the production company.
You can see Batman in the background as the character Dinky Winks, the owner of the park, shows the president's daughter around the park. Its situated right behind the most famous ride from the movie: The Juggler.
Of all the imagined flat rides in the movie, the Juggler is the most famous of them all. One becuase the president's duaughter sabotouges the ride to try to get her father's attention, and two it's probably the scariest ride someone has ever thought to come up with, becuase as the name implies, it juggles you.
