Batman Adventure: The Ride is the name for a series of Batman-themed motion simulator rides installed at various Warner Bros.-branded parks around the world. The ride was first installed at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast, Australia in 1992, before being installed at Warner Bros. Movie World in Bottrop, Germany and Parque Warner Madrid in Madrid, Spain in 1996 and 2002, respectively. The installations in Germany and Australia later closed in 2004 and 2011, respectively. As of December 2012, the ride continues to operate at Parque Warner Madrid.

On 23 December 1992, Warner Bros. Movie World in Australia opened the US$9 million Batman Adventure - The Ride motion simulator ride. The ride was based upon Tim Burton's Batman films, the second of which was released earlier that year.

In 1996, Batman Abenteuer (Batman Adventure) opened with Warner Bros. Movie World in Germany. The ride was identical to the version that opened in Australia many years prior.

In 2001, Warner Bros. Movie World in Australia revamped their ride and renamed it Batman Adventure - The Ride 2. As part of this process the original live-action film was scrapped in favour of computer-generated high-definition film developed by Blur Studio. The new film featured elements from four of the Batman films as well as the animated series franchise released before Batman Begins.

On 5 April 2002, a third installation of the ride opened at Warner Bros. Movie World Madrid (now Parque Warner Madrid) in their DC Superhéroes World section. The new animated film was utilised along with 3D technology. The ride operates under the name Batman: La Sombra del Murciélago (Batman: Shadow of the Bat).
