Batman wears a winged suit which he can use to cover himself, and he talks in a low, whispering voice. Apparently, he is best known for saying "I'm Batman."
Fiction
Titan Magazine letters page
Ironhide is a Batman fan because of the amount of weapons in his car. Transformers Comic issue 2.2
Dark of the Moon novel
Zimmerman, while preparing to wing suit into Chicago, wrapped his suit's stretched cloth around himself, pretending to be Batman. Dark of the Moon
Commercial appearances
William Fowler called upon Batman to act as backup for the Autobots in a mission of some sort. Mission: Impossibly Awesome Marathon
When a group of carolers including Bulkhead and Megatron sang Jingle Bells, the Joker contributed a verse implying a certain scent to Batman. The Hub Carolers (second spot)
Notes
- We cannot canonically support any notion that Batman might have something to do with Superman or the Joker. To suggest such a link would be irresponsible of us.
- The design of Optimus Primal's bat form is an homage to Batman, whose action figure license was also held at the time by Kenner. His designer chose the black color scheme to redeco him into Onyx Primal, enhancing the mold's inherent resemblance to Batman.[1]
- Batman, Superman and the rest of the Justice League would've met the Transformers in a comic book crossover pitched by Phil Jimenez: alas, the pitch never came the fruition.[1]
- The color scheme and double life of Shattered Glass Ratbat is based on Batman. His secret identity color scheme, likewise, is based on Bruce Wayne's brown and mustard outfit from Batman: The Animated Series.
- Animated Searchlight's personality is based on Batman, specifically Frank Miller's extreme grim-n-gritty take on the character.
- Sam Witwicky remarks that shining a spotlight of a truck on a cloud would be an impractical method for contacting Optimus Prime in the Dark of the Moon novel, a reference to Batman's famous Bat-Signal.
