:I agree. If the first car in this series resembles anything it is the version from The New Batman Adventures. However, the second car in the series, the "EXP" version created in the "RPM" episode, resembles the first 1990s animated series car. Cbing01 16:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why on Earth is there a  tag on the statement that there was more (if not entire—I've not seen the whole series) use of an internal combustion engine as opposed to a jet engine? What, exactly, is the problem here? Octane [improve me?]  11.03.08 1014 (UTC)
The problem is that even a statement that you believe to be fact must be backed up with a citation from a verifiable source.  I agree that the audio effects did sound far more like internal combustion engine noise, but that's still just consensus opinion, not fact.  Part of the problem is that the noises made by motors are different to different people's ears, and can also be affected by acoustics (both inside the engine and in a surrounding area).  For that matter, some well-tuned race engines emit a high-pitched whistle that is nothing if not jetlike.  I've also heard jet engines that sound a lot like internal combustion engines (I grew up near a U.S. Air Force base, and also served on one while in the Navy, and a "hush house" used for tuning jet engines muffles their characteristic sound, making it almost like the dull roar of a 427 ci V-8).

message: Popular Mechanics printed an article on that Batmobile when the movie was released. IIRC, it was built on a 1966 Chevrolet Caprice frame and running gear, with no modifications at all to the suspension or drivetrain. The 'jet intake' is built from pieces from a Rolls Royce jet engine. The large bulb is where the electric starter motor would be on the actual jet engine. For the car, the Caprice's radiator was mounted behind the jet intake.
To add: the flames coming out of the back of Burton's Batmobile are from an oil-fired burner manufactured Nu-Way Heating Plants (Droitwich, UK).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.3.200.69 (talk) 21:52, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

*Yes, the 'box should have an image.
*Such a an image should not be of one of the television or film cars. The topic here is primarily an element in comic books, that's where an image should be pulled from.
*Given its history of multiple versions, the image is likely to be a contentious issue and should be discussed first. That is, don't put an image in the 'box then come to the talk page.
*The "First appearance" and "Creator(s)" is not an invitation to add when each iteration first appeared, and who redesigned it. They all trace back to the car from Detective #27.

replies: text: I agree with Hiding - it is good on content but could do with more references all round and I'd like to see a bit more on the comics (who was the original artist? Do we have anything on the thinking behind that first design? Do we have more on the other designs?) as the background on the recent film design is very detailed and the comics are thin in comparison (I'd have thought it would have been popular with motoring/film/comics magazines/books and there are a few histories of the vehicle out there, try here). The external links section is huge and something needs doing with it if they can't be moved up to become footnotes then perhaps there is a way to shuffle the links off to somewhere else (I don't know what the process is but perhaps you could suggest a Batmobile section at DMOZ - they have a lot of suitable material .
