Here for the first time is the complete history of the sleek,
sophisticated, incomparable Batmobile. From its humble beginnings
in the pages of Detective Comics, to its reimaginings every decade
in the pages of DC Comics, to its unforgettable appearances on the
big screen, this book explores each incarnation of the Batmobile in
incredible detail and scope.
In addition to comic books, the Batmobile has been immortalized
in nearly every imaginable medium, including film, television,
toys, and video games. Most recently, it was given breathtaking new
life—and incredible capabilities—in Christopher Nolan’s
extraordinary film trilogy, which concludes with 2012’s The Dark
Knight Rises. While each of the Batmobile’s incarnations will be
explored, special attention will be paid to the "Tumbler" Batmobile
from Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight
Rises.
With stunning gatefolds and detailed specs, blueprints, and
historical comparisons, BATMOBILE: The Complete History is an
informational and visual delight for auto and Batman fans alike.
It’s an unparalleled and high-speed journey that will leave you
breathless.
