History of the Batmobile. The design from the 1992-era animated series is my personal all-time favorite. A close second is the one designed by Tim Burton and Anton Furst for then 1989-era films Batman and Batman Returns.
The first appearance of an official Batmobile was in Detective Comics #48 (published in 1941), nearly 4 years after Batman’s debut. It was a bright red convertible.
