Origin of the Batmobile 

"The Batmobile is easily one of the most popular cars in pop culture." That is an understatement

Variant comics is one of the best channels on RU-vid

_"QUICK ROBIN, TO THE BATMOBILE!"_ *~ Adam West (Batman, 1966)*

I'd like this to be a regular thing: Origin of Gadgets

I felt so good when you said "Bill" he's finally getting the recognition he deserves ❤️😍

How many of you remember the episode "the mechanic" from Batman the animated series where it showed the origin of the Batmobile?

For me personally, it's a tie between the Batmobile from Batman: The Animated Series and the Batmobile from the Tim Burton movies.

Next : The origin of the utility belt

It's like one of those Cars that you wanted to get on Christmas since you where 10 and counting

I like how Terry McGinis and Dick Grayson had a flying Batmobile before.

Usually, in the live adaptations of The Caped Crusader, the Batmobile has been depicted as a heavily armored car, but Battinson's mobile is a departure from that.

My fav will always be from the forgot "The Batman" animated with blue lights and the sound was insane.

For me will always be the Keaton batmobile. Still remember seeing it for the 1st time as a kid at the theater.

It’s time to learn what’s the underhood and the history of the batmobile

I can’t lie, I really like the car. Chicks dig the car.

Batman beyond for me. Sleek black and I love how the suit connects with the interface.

The Batmobile is the best car in history!!!

*The Batmobile lost a wheel, The Joker got away* Damn that's an old joke I'll just leave it there

WB’s THE BATMAN batmobiles we’re pretty cool, after the first one got totaled and he had to rebuild/redesign it.

It raised the hairs on the back of my neck when you mentioned the TAS Batmobile. The sleek design, that sexy purr is the engine as the car rolls. Simply beautiful.

I love how in Batman Beyond Terry is flying away from Starro and he asks Bruce what is the batmobile’s top speed, then Bruce says one of the higher mach numbers I believe. Then Terry says is that faster than a speeding bullet?

The batmobile from the Arkham Knight is my favorite. Can’t go wrong with an EMP and a virus hack.

Now we need the origin of the Spider-Mobile

Can you imagine if all of Batman's equipment is fused with Mother's Box. That would be so OP.

0:43 Is he showing smoldering intensity or is he trying to smooch? I mean, where do his lips start from?

the Keaton batmobile is one of the best looking in my books, just the right balance of menace and sleek looks without been to over the top.

They really need to do a proper bat mobile in live action from the comics.

Can you do history of the legend of tomorrow

Its minutes til midnight from where im at then this came up. Guess sleep will have to wait

Do you think that if Green Arrow drove a plane he'd call it the "Arrow-plane"?

Anyone who says they wouldn't want to even drive it is a liar.

I love the batmobile but if I could have any fictional car I’d take Bonds Aston-Martin DB5

The Val kilmer Batmobile is highly underrated..... It's definitely one of the best

Variant comics is basically a way for me to know about comics without buying comics. Where would I be without Variant?

For me, my favorite is still the Keaton Batmobile. And while it was an Impala frame, it also incorporated a Corvette chassis, and this Batmobile design is probably why I love Corvettes today.

I grew up in the 90s, tim burton's batman was my top 5 movies, that batmobile is why corvettes are my fav

Telltale's Batmobile was pretty sleek, modern and I really liked the camo as a bright red sports car, which in retrospect probably was a call back to it's first design. So cool to learn about that.

For me personally it would be the Keaton Mobile since it's the very first Batman film i watched as a kid. And then The Batman came around and good heavens i loved that Batmobile (both). That hum, the streaks of light as it zooms through the night, everything.

I always wanted to buy the hotwheels version of the batmobile. All hotwheels models were dope af

I gotta agree with alot you're saying but one car I wish you'd look at, that I guess could be a 'cousin' to the '66 TV Batmobile and was a lot cooler because it seemed more realistic was the Black Beauty from The Green Hornet series. A armored limo, armed with rockets front & rear, Hornet gas ejectors, the truck was home to mortars, and the scanner, an audio/video flying drone. Also with a phone and can emit a police siren. And that classic black limo look never goes out of style w/o drawing major attention.

The Batmobile from Batman: The Brave and the Bold would be one of my favourites, it has elements from a lot of previous Batmobiles' while still looking cool and different to all the rest.

Fraking AWESOME!!! Really liked and enjoyed watching this. The Batmobile from Justice League movie is one of my MOST favorites.

I think my favourite BAtmobile is the one in the Batman: Arkham Knight videogame. It was a great combination of raw speed, muscle, and offensive/defensive systems, plus tech that was useful in actually detecting crime. The Batmobile should reflect batman himself, and the Arkham Knight Batmobile is a great example of that. I also liked how it was able to securely hold enemies to deliver to the GCPD.

Personally, the batmobile I most relate to is the Keaton batmobile, it's the one I that most stuck with me from my childhood and that turbine engine in the front is just iconic.

BTAS Batmobile has to be my favourite. I love the sleek long design

I really liked the DK trilogy one for its practicality, and also the BvS one for the reasons Arris mentioned. The winner however can only be the animated series or the Kearon one. They kinda walk hand in hand and growing, those were the two batmobiles that defined what a batmobile must be like for me.

Battinson batmobile is taking it back to the beginning, just a badass fast car that batman drives like in the old days...

I think he’s finally covered everything Batman related. I think.

The 1989 Batmobile has become my all time favorite.

Nolan Bat Mobile for me. Something awesome about a fast moving tank. I once saw a random bat mobile driving down the road. It was the old school keaton bat mobile.

I’m 48 and nostalgia is hard to beat. I like Adam West’s batmobile the best and then the batmobile from the Superfriends cartoon.

Guys, that Batman and Bill documentary was amazing, also the intro of Batman v Superman has a new meaning.

can u do a history of 'A-BOMB' from hulk and the agents of smash

I have learnt so much about comics from you guys, I can't thank you enough

My favorite Batmobiles are the BvS Batmobile and The Keaton Batmobile. They are such cool cars

I always felt like the 2nd batmobile in The Batman from 2004 was definitely one of the best, has the classic look with the cool blue and silver on the side.

Each batmobile has something unique in it's design.

The most iconic vehicle in all Batman lore. The Batmobile is awesome and seeing the evolution of the car Batman drives is cool.

One of my favorite batmobiles was the one from Clooney's Batman and Robin. Sure it looked cartoony, but i always thought it looked pretty cool

I think the Rebirth Batmobile is currently my favorite. I like the BTAS inspired look combined with a little tank-like design.

Keaton's batmobile was best, imho. I love the tumbler, too (I rate it a close second), but seeing the long, low and sleek profile of that turbine powered batmobile just looked wicked and mysterious at the same time. Leaves a lasting impression the others don't.

I still think the nature of the Keaton Batmobile makes it the best. The front engine and mechanical shield mechanisms give it a little steam punk look and feel.

Favorite is Keetons and Animated Series Batmobile...Just the first for me and they are timeless

I Love that cool front wedge design 4:25

This video was a nice change of pace! Still batman but a refreshing topic we don’t focus on too much.

2:06 Look at that second frame, Bruce looks so much like his animated series counterpart, it's scary. 😎

My most favorite Batmobiles are: - The Tim Burton film version between '89 and '92. - The '66 live action TV show. - The one from the 2015 'Arkham Knight' video game. - The Christopher Nolan film trilogy. And finally... - The 2009 'Arkham Asylum' video game.

The second The Batman batmobile was my favorite. It also paid homage to the BTAS batmobile.

Oh muh gahd, you did a great episode!!! I needed this so bad. 98 Keaton-mobile...!

I say variant comic and comicstorian are the best comic channel

I love you so much variant comics!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love a lot of these batmobiles. My favorites being the Tumbler, the Animated Series Batmobile, both the Arkham Batmobiles, and the one from the TellTale Series

My fave is the flying Batmobile from Grant Morrison's Batman and Robin run!

I liked all of the batmoblies: the tv show one, the movie ones, and the animated series ones, and the animated one too.!

Just love when you go over the history of these types of things! And to answer your question, the Tim Burton batmobile has to be my fav. But I was born in the eighties, so...lol

The Batmobiles from Batman Beyond and Batman: The Animated Series are my absolute favorites! 🦇🦸🏻‍♂🚙💕

My fave is the Keaton batmobile because way back in the day you could sit in it and takes pictures with the one at six flags in IL. That and because its a fun car in GTA 5 online.

Thanks for sharing this video it's most wanted one for me

I really enjoy hearing about the Origin of the Batmoblie .

Imagine Batman's Batmobile running on Bat-tery.

I still remember getting chills when I first saw the bat mobile from Batman Forever

The tumbler it's just something about that joint

By far, the Adam West/Batman’66 is my favorite.

*The Tumbler and the BVS Batmobile are my personal favorites.*

Hands down my favorite has to be the 66 batmobile. It has such a cool back story. A very close second is the Keaton car. It just looks evil. It is really sinister.

2 of my favorites are the 2nd Batmobile from the cartoon The Batman 2004-2008 & the Batman Ninja Batmobile(build in Bike, Mechsuite & 1pers batwing)

NO, the Batmobile came from, like a lot of Comic Heroes, from the Pulp Magazines. Specifically, the PHANTOM DETECTIVE (rather, The Phantom (he was rarely called Phantom Detective in the magazine)). From The PHANTOM DETECTIVE - MARCH 1935 Issue Pg. 25-26): "...and crossed to a parking lot. It was a dinky, small one, capable of holding only a couple dozen cars." The car he got was "A black, heavy coupe', it was four years old in model and design. The crumpled fenders had been badly straightened out. A film of dust lay over it, and the enamel beneath showed only too obviously that it had been neither washed nor polished in many months. It was, in short, the sort of car which no one would give a second glance. But this same black coupe' was as deceptive as a panthers velvety paw when the claws are indrawn. The glass in that coupe' was not merely shatter-proof, it was bullet-proof. So was every inch of it's body. And the motor below that dirty hood could maintain a speed of well over a hundred miles an hour. Could maintain it easily because of an especially weighted rear... The motor was noisy, laborious - until Van pushed a button beneath the steering shaft. As if by magic, the sound of the motor dropped to a smooth, barely audible purr...that other amazing features built into that coupe' manifested themselves .. .then pushed another button the entire right half of the seat silently swing forward and down. At the same time, a tiny overhead light flashed up in the roof of the now exposed secret compartment. A submachine gun of a more modern, deadly design... gleaned shiny and sinister on a bracket at one wall of the compartment. Three automatics hung neatly below it. Under them, on a little shelf, were extra clips of cartridges. And experienced eyes would have identified below that shelf a half dozen tear-gas bombs. At the opposite wall, perhaps a dozen suits". Changing suits "he drops with the the clothes into still another secret compartment accessible from the floor of the one he now used." (His flat black make-up kit is there also). "Then he brought forth from a tiny compartment something that glittered in the light. It was an emblem forming in Platinum and Diamonds a tiny mask. The Phantom badge, and it was thus known throughout the world." (Kind of Self-indulgent here with this in the Early '30 and so on... Like saying "See how Very Rich I am and you're not" as I flash it around (in my opinion)). (It could also be a "Proto-Black Beauty")

Always wondered the origin of the batmobile. Thanks for making this video on it.

My favourite Batmobile is the third version of the Tumbler - the one that became a motorbike when required.

To me the best one is from "The Batman"

I love the idea that Batman has a garage filled with all his Bat mobiles and just chooses which he will drive

i like the fact the batmobile changes design in the comics with no explanation at all

Please make a video on all Batwings. Those Batman aircrafts are crazy!

What about the yellow car from karate kid thats a classic.

BTAS Batmobile is one of my favourites EVER!

I like how Batman and Robin are at home, working on the car and healing, yet still wearing their spandex

My favorite Batmobile is the 1970 Super Friends Batmobile I can't believe it's still not made that into an actual car in any live action movie or TV show

One of my favorite batmobiles is actually the one from the Telltale Batman series. It looks sleek, intimidating, and packed with cutting-edge technology which is pretty much everything you would ever want in a batmobile. Plus as an added bonus, it can transform it a standard red sports car which I think makes it one of the more unique versions of the batmobile.

Can it really be the best (singular) car when there are about a few hundred of them. Definitely the best series of cars no doubt.

I have to say my top 3 favorite Batmobiles are the Arkham Knight ver., Batman Beyond, and the Telltale, just for the fact it can be disguised as an awesome sports car
