A Batskiboat model miniature from Tim Burton's superhero sequel Batman Returns. Batman (Michael Keaton) took to the sewers of Gotham City in his Batskiboat to track down Oswald Cobblepot (Danny DeVito). This miniature model was built for a specific shot in which the boat launches off the sewer system wall and into the water, and was created by the visual effects team at 4Ward Productions, who received an Academy Award nomination for their work on the film. As only the upper portion of the model was needed for the shot, the model was designed as a half-piece, with incomplete details on the bottom portion.

This model consists of a fiberglass shell reinforced with dense foam and plywood supports. It is painted gloss black, and is split into three segments: a domed front piece, a hull with one scalloped, wing-shaped hydrofoil on each side, and a back piece with a scalloped rear.

The Batskiboat is in good overall condition with some wear from age and handling, including dirt stains in between the segments, some cracking to the foam, and scuffs and chipping paint throughout.
