Batmobile, Mark II

In Detective Comics #35 (by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Sheldon Moldoff), Batman has finally quit driving around his bright red sedan and appears to have bought a model that's more fitting for his nightly activities. No special modifications yet, but he's on the right track.

Batman's first ride wasn't nearly as cool as his later ones. One of the fun things about revisiting the early Batman stories is to see him develop from a one-man show operating out of his living room into the magnificent icon he would become.

From Detective Comics #29 by Gardner Fox and Bob Kane.
