If a comic book hero has no special super powers it falls on his or her car to be a big part of making a statement to reflect his persona. David Brown reports on a documentary that makes this point.
Warner Bros has released a one-hour video documentary on the Batmobile. Its history from 1939 and driving Bruce Waynes car, to 1941 when he got a special vehicle to the 1966 TV show and then onto the more recent movies.
Overdrives’ Brian Smith has felt the changes
“Certainly with the modern Batmobile the more recent ones are more like armoured vehicles. The 1960s were more open top, there’s no real protection, not even much of a roll cage. But now it is a much more assault vehicle, where you have that look of being bullet proof. Really assault vehicles rather than a camp and groovy car to be seen in”.
