All the Batmobiles You Forgot Existed

Holy anniversary, Batman! The Caped Crusader celebrates his 75th year today, DC Comics' official Batman Day. Though many of us know him from his current big-screen persona, the superhero has seen a lot through the years in both his comic-book form and live-action capers.

One thing that's changed the most through Batman's turns in TV and film is his trusty ride, the Batmobile. From the classic hot rod of the 1960s TV series to Christian Bale's bulky cruiser, read on to see the bat-craftsmanship up close.
