The First Batmobile |
It wasn't until Detective Comics No. 48, February 1941, that the name "Batmobile" was applied to Batman and Robin's automobile. As seen in these panels, it was not yet the distinctive black car with the tall scalloped fin and the intimitating bathead on the front. Instead, they are driving a bright red convertible whose only distinquishing mark is a small bat-shaped hood ornament. But it is very fast.
