ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE BATMOBILE
Billy Tackett
A few years ago, I set out on a project that’s finally nearing completion. I began by scanning Batman comics published between 1939 and 1989, carefully pulling out every distinct Batmobile I could find. From there, I matched each one with a real-world car that existed during the same era—and then painted that vehicle as the Batmobile.
But I didn’t stop there. I also explored Batman-adjacent rides, from the Joker’s over-the-top “Jokermobiles” to Catwoman’s sleek “Catillac,” as well as the legendary Batmobiles from television and film.
The result is more than just a collection of cars—it’s a deep dive into 50 years of design, history, and pop culture, packed with trivia, research, and most importantly, my original artwork.
Book is almost completed and updates will be posted here!
