In 1992, Six Flags Great America in Illinois unleashed a new prototype roller coaster that took the world by storm. Bolliger & Mabillard, a Swiss company, had designed this incredibly successful inverted coaster. The design has been copied 10 more times, 7 of which were also called "Batman the ride" at Six Flags parks.
| Height | First Drop | Length | Speed | Inversions | Trains |
| 105 feet | 82 feet | 2,693 feet | 50 m.p.h. | 5 (2 vertical loops, 2 corkscrews, one zero-G barrel roll) | Two 8 car, 4 across trains, each holding 32 passengers |
All of the rides (except for the two mirror image ones) dive in a twisting left-hand drop off of the lift hill, directly into a 77ft loop. The trains then twist through the zero-G barrel roll before speeding through the second vertical loop, this time 68ft tall. You then enter a powerhouse helix to the left, and dive down to the right into the first corkscrew. A quick turn to the right leads to a drop into the second corkscrew, and then the final left turn into the brakes.

While most of the Batman rides are identical, the Six Flags St.Louis and Six Flags New Orleans versions are exact mirror image rides. Gambit was re-located when Gotemba Family Land closed and a shopping center was built in its place.
There are other Batman rides at Six Flags parks that are not related to this design. At Six Flags Mexico there is a Batman the ride that is a standard Vekoma looping coaster (more commonly called Mind Eraser or Serial Thriller by other Six Flags Parks). Six Flags Worlds of Adventure in Ohio has a B&M floorless coaster called Batman Knight Flight. Six Flags Astroworld in Houston, Texas has an Intamin stand-up coaster called Batman the Escape. Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey has two intertwining launched looping coasters called Batman and Robin: the Chiller. There are also Riddler, Joker, Two-Face, and Poison Ivy themed rides at Six Flags parks around the country.
