1988 Batmobile

This Batmobile made a brief appearance in 1988's graphic novel The Killing Joke, roaring in to meet the Joker at his Carnival home. It was based heavily on the Batmobiles of the 1950s, but rather than the full-length side panels it had a set of four "fat" fenders like cars of the 1940s.

This car made another appearance in 1995, after the "Knightfall" stoyline and subsequent Jean-Paul Valley Stories. It was one of several "retro" Batmobiles used after the then-current Batmobile was destroyed. It was again shown briefly in 2007's Batman Confidential #7, as one of the cars Batman used before he finalized the design.
