Well, if Batman's on the run, it makes sense to me for him to go around in something more discreet. I'd go for a normal looking car that had a number of helpful capabilities and enabled him to speed away at times, if he needed to. Yes, it's boring-looking, but it always made sense to me for Bruce to start out in something less noticeable and then have to branch off into something more high tech when the villains started stepping it up. In the context of this series, without the Tumbler, it'd be a temporary one (maybe he can modify that poor, totaled Lambourghini) until the police stopped going after him and he was able to build the next war machine. Anyways, here are examples. They're not traditional, but neither was Bruce living in the penthouse apartment in the 1970s and in The Dark Knight: www.batmobilehistory.com/1970-batmobile.phpwww.batmobilehistory.com/1972-batmobile.phpwww.batmobilehistory.com/1973-batmobile.phpwww.batmobilehistory.com/1973_det434-batmobile.phpwww.batmobilehistory.com/2005_det809-batmobile.phpwww.batmobilehistory.com/2005jik-batmobile.phpAnd my favorite one in context of the comics: www.batmobilehistory.com/2006mmsedan-batmobile.php

I'd go with the last one you posted; that's one of my favorites as well. Ironically, I featured that as the "Batmobile" in a fan story I was toying around with a few years ago where he had cars like that stashed all over the city. The way that he was able to access them without being detected by the police was through the sewers... If that sort of scenario played out on screen, hell, we might even get a chance to see Killer Croc, the "Gator Man of the Sewers" on screen
