[Batman] Exactly how road legal is the Batmobile?

r/

What happens if a cop is dumb enough to pull it over? Does it have any official registration? Does Bruce have a license under “Batman”? Does Gotham have special road laws that allow it the same privileges as regular emergency vehicles?

I guess a similar question exists for the Batwing: do air traffic controllers just have to plan around it?

    Batman has a bat credit card registered for Batman and valid until “forever”. Never leaves the cave without it. I think this answers the question about the Batmobile.

    Depends which Batman.

    In Batman 66 Batman is a deputised police officer so the Batmobile is classed as his Police Car.

    Other Batman universes I feel the police tend to turn a blind eye to it

    That depends on the universe. In most of them though the Batmobile is an unregistered and uninsured car and driving it is the least of the crimes the Gotham Police are turning a blind eye to when it comes to Batman. As for the Batwing, he consistently flies it quite low to avoid legitimate air traffic except in international airspace.
