BOO-YAH! Listen to it purr!

The 1966 Batmobile (Barrismobile) is NOT the original Batmobile. In the comics, Batman used a customized Studebaker-type vehicle (1940s or 1950s vintage; cars looked about the same for 2 decades!) that had a Bat-ram for the front and a Bat-fin on top of it. A design like this was most recently used in the Batman: The Brave and The Bold animated series. Most of the Bat autos during that time (1940s-early 1960s) were lightly modified stock cars. The very first Batmobile was a convertible (generic, Studebaker, who knows?) that was red and the extent of the customization was a gold bat ornament on the hood! Barris' design broke that mold and it's been lightly copied (to avoid paying a license fee) over the years in animation or directly referenced/drawn in stories. There's a Batman/Superman comic book from about 16 years ago where that Barris design FINALLY appears in the Batcave. You see it from the front and the side. For years, Barris wouldn't license the design or let people make models and toys of his Batmobile design. They had to modify the Batmobile design slightly for a TV dramedy made in 2006(?) because they didn't want to pay his fee. There were two live-action Batman projects prior to the 1966 TV series. They were 1943 and 1946 serials. They're AWFUL movies and among the worst superhero adaptations of their time. The "Batmobile" in one or both serials (I haven't sat through both of them because they were BORING on top of being poorly made!) is an unmodified car. By the late 1940s, they were drawing a Batmobile in the comics with the Bat-ram and Bat-fin I mentioned.

Marcos Maldonado , i have a beautiful Metal Model of The Batmobile & it lights up 👍

Hi Armando R. Venegas Atencio, Happy to read you "Love it !!!" :-) Hope you see many more cars on this KZfaq Channel you enjoy, Lou

Hi Jaime, Happy to see you found this car :-) I agree, the Batmobile still creates excitement today. Thank you for the well wishes on the 10th anniversary. Glad you're along for the ride, Lou

Actually there are 4 originals and countless clones. This is a clone. Still an awesome car and a true legend.

Good times, good times :-)

Dude......I got that King Size Matchbox car when it came out while the original show was running!

Hi T-Dub, My favorite too :-) Lou

Hi victor petroff, Thank you for viewing and sharing your memories of this car :-) Hope you see many more cars on this KZfaq Channel you'll enjoy, Lou

victor petroff The rocket actually didn't work on the REAL Batmobile. They fired one from a jet-engine. The gauges should devalue it.

Yep. It came here a few times I think. I had a race car stored in a storage complex in Sydney in 1988. The batmobile was in the unit on my right and the Munster car was in the one on the left. Some local promoter used to bring them out. Can't remember who.

Hi Andrew, "WORK OF ART" I agree :-) Lou

Nowhere near as well known to audiences. The Keaton batmobile is more recognized that this and the General Lee is considered the most famous automobile in the world.

@@LakeHowellDigitalVideo seriously? The Keaton fatmobile? I don't think so. This car is second ONLY to the GL.

Hi Trip Review, I agree, the 1966 Batmobile is the coolest car ever :-) Thank you for viewing & sharing, Lou

@Zolar Czakl yes, it would be less mpg if measured in u.s gallons. Didn’t figure the mileage out but a u.s gallon is abuot 3.78 litres whereas an imperial gallon is or maybe I should say “was” roughly 4.54 litres.

@Zolar Czakl I do, and I did agree with you. I never said that 9mpg on an imperial was better gas mileage than 9mpg in a u.s gallon. I was saying the opposite.

@Zolar Czakl it’s no problem, I may have worded it in such a way. Cheers🍻
