hahaha, you've gotta be kidding me.

First of all, lets agree that any Batmobile is not going to be realistic period.

Secondly, yes I do think the tank is more practical.

The first one in the 89 movie is basically a sports car, I do not see that thing getting past police blockades or really anything. That car is so low to teh ground i dont even see it getting past a speed bump.

The tank was built as a "bridging vehicle" and while neither batmobile is going to be practical in the sense of what we think a car is, I at least believe the tank could do what Batman needs it to do. Did you watch Batman Begins? Did you see everything he had to drive through? Lets even forget the rooftops for a sec (and keep in mind your batmobile literally drove vertically up a rooftop in batman forever), the 89 batmobile would not have been able to get past any of that.

Neither vehicle is realistic to begin with, but at least the tank makes sense that the cops cant stop the tank. Neither is realistic, the tank leans more to the realistic side though.

The Tumbler can actually do that without grappling hooks. It can go 100 mph. They built the thing with practicality in mind. The only unrealistic thing is flying on rooftops.
