Ars Technica:
There can’t be many vehicles in popular culture as well-known as Batman’s Batmobile. The car is as much a character as the Caped Crusader himself, and it’s the topic of a documentary simply titled The Batmobile that Warner Bros. put online recently. I must confess, I’m a couple of weeks late to the party, for I only learned about the video—which I think was originally one of the extras on 2012’s Blu-ray of The Dark Knight Rises—in our virtual office this morning. And I was originally going to write this piece as an argument for the one true Batmobile, but actually, that would be wrong. Instead, the documentary convinced me that each iteration of Batman’s ride is equally valid in its own right.
For fans of Gotham’s vigilante, or even just those who like movie cars and the work that goes into them, The Batmobile is worth an hour of your time.
I’m old enough to remember the “original” car from the silly TV series. It’s always going to be my favourite.
