In a thrilling twist for fans of both superhero lore and modern convenience, today we’re unveiling an iconic ride experience: a Batmobile inspired vehicle will become available for trips on the Uber app this weekend.

Yes, you read that correctly— to celebrate 85 years of Batman and Batman Day, we’ve teamed up with Warner Bros. Discovery Australia and DC to offer riders an unparalleled Dark Knight inspired experience, for free!

Available for a limited time only on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 September between 11am – 3pm in Sydney and Friday 27 and Saturday 28 September 11am – 3pm in Adelaide, Batman fans must be within 5km of the City Centre to experience this legendary ride firsthand. 

For those who have dreamed of cruising around town in the infamous Gotham City whip, booking a trip in the Batmobile is as straightforward as any other Uber ride, with a touch of superhero magic:

  1. Simply open the Uber app on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 September in Sydney or Friday 27 and Saturday 28 September in Adelaide, between 11am – 3pm, enter your pickup location and destination. Trips will only be available within a 5km radius of Sydney or Adelaide’s CBD, so please ensure your pickup and drop off location adheres to this. 
  2. Scroll down to select the “Batmobile” option from the list of available rides.
  3. Channel your inner superhero, and get ready for a ride of epic proportions! Don’t forget to share your experience on social media tagging @uberaustralia and using the hashtag #BatmanDayAU

Trips will be available on a first come, first served basis, and riders must be near the Batmobile at the time of booking. Batman fans must also leave their Robin behind, with only one passenger seat available per trip. 

If users don’t see the Batmobile as an option in the app, it means that the Batmobile is busy, so make sure you get in quick to avoid missing out on this truly unique experience, before it drives off into the sunset.

Emma Foley, Managing Director of Uber Australia and New Zealand said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Warner Bros. Discovery Australia and DC to help Aussies celebrate Batman Day and go anywhere, superhero style. For two weekends only across Sydney and Adelaide, the trips will be available on demand with the cost of the trip on us, so fans can experience the ultimate thrill of riding shotgun in the Batmobile.”
