Three pages after its introduction, it was forced off a cliff by the Joker and crashed in the ravine below. īatman #5 (March 1941) introduced a long, powerful, streamlined Batmobile with a tall scalloped fin and an intimidating bat head on the front. Other bat-vehicles soon followed, including the Batcycle, Batboat, and Robin's Redbird. The predominant designs settled on a large, dark-colored body and bat-like accessories such as large tailfins scalloped to resemble a bat's wings. It became a "specially built high-powered auto" by Detective Comics #30, and in Batman #5 (March 1941), it had a bat hood ornament and a darker exterior color. The car's design evolved in early Batman stories. Although the Batplane was introduced in Detective Comics #31, the name "Batmobile" was not applied to Batman's automobile until Detective Comics #48 (February 1941). The red car was never mentioned by name as the Batmobile.
In some depictions, the Batmobile has individually articulated wheel mounts and is able to be driven unmanned or can be remotely operated. It has been portrayed as having many uses, such as vehicular pursuit, prisoner transportation, anti-tank warfare, riot control, and as a mobile crime lab. Depictions of the vehicle have evolved along with the character, with each incarnation reflecting evolving car technologies.
Armored in the early stages of Batman's career, it has been customized over time and is the most technologically advanced crime-fighting asset in Batman's arsenal. Its appearance has varied but, since its earliest appearances, the Batmobile has had a prominent bat motif, typically including wing-shaped tailfins. The Batmobile first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), where it was depicted as an ordinary-looking red car. Using the latest civilian performance technology, coupled with prototype military-grade hardware-most of which was developed by Wayne Enterprises-Batman creates an imposing hybrid monster car to prowl the streets of Gotham City. Housed in the Batcave, which it accesses through a hidden entrance, the Batmobile is both a heavily armored tactical assault vehicle and a personalized custom-built pursuit and capture vehicle that is used by Batman in his fight against crime. The Batmobile is the fictional car driven by the superhero Batman. The bat motif has been changed from a small hood ornament to an overall theme: the body is now painted black (or dark blue) with a battering ram shaped like a bat head, scalloped fenders like the tail or feet of a bat, and a single fin on the roof like bat wings raised to the pinnacle of an upstroke.A Batmobile from the variant cover of Detective Comics #986

Unlike that car, it has fender skirts to protect the tires and small windows and armored body panels to protect Batman & Robin. The result was a combination of speed, style, and brute force that continues to influence Batmobile designs today.Īs with the previous Batmobile, it features a supercharged engine capable of quick accelleration and sustained high speeds. The design was created nearly whole cloth, with only a passing resemblance to real cars of the time.
