1989 Batmobile

This rather unique Batmobile appeared in Detective Comics #597. Instead of the more typical high-performance cars, this one appears to be based on the mid-1980s GM "J-Body" cars (the body type that included the Chevrolet Cavalier). Body modifications include a targa top, custom nose, and wing spoiler over a windowless rear end. The painted-on bat mask is present as well, with the nose of the mask formed by the wedge beween the headlights. Inside, the car is packed with the usual gadgets, including an on-board computer with tracking system.
