Batman: Confidential became the replacement for the then soon-to-be-retired Legends of the Dark Knight comic series. It's first story, "Rules of Engagement," dealt with Bruce Wayne's first encounter with Lex Luthor and Batman's fight with a rogue piece of Waynetech hardware. While he was investigating the death of the man responsible for the machine's actions, he came across some evidence that convinced him that Batman needs to have a meeting with Luthor as well. This Batmobile was shown in the last panel of issue 2, as Batman drove to LexCorp. Although its design is not based on any one car, the pop-out panels are strongly reminiscent of KITT's "Super Pursuit Mode" from the TV series Knight Rider (the panels were shown in the "closed" position in Batman: Confidential #4).
