10 Things You Didn’t Know About The Batmobile

10. Wonderful Toys And Quirky Equipment

As the Batmobile has taken on new and more complicated designs throughout the years, the items that its held have changed as well. In the beginning, the most “hi-tech” item in the Batmobile was a direct line to police headquarters and Commissioner Gordon. The vehicle carried items like a first aid kit, fire extinguishers, bags with tools, and climbing equipment. Eventually, Batman and Robin wisely began to carry extra costumes and utility belts.

With advances in computing, the Batmobile began to have a more involved computer system, including a more advanced crime lab. It began as a “lab in a case” and evolved into an advanced computer analysis system on the spot. It also made searching for files on criminals far easier, as did the direct line to the information hub and former Batgirl, Oracle.

Some of the more unusual items that can be found in and around the Batmobile are diplomatic plates that allow the car to be parked anywhere and to ignore most of the normal speed and traffic laws. Batman has been known to keep his personal one-man aircraft, the “Whirlybat” in the trunk of some of the larger Batmobiles for needed aerial pursuits. The newest models have AI and remote guidance capabilities that allow them to drive without anyone at the wheel.
