Our Take: We love new Batman books here at the Legion. This new hardcover book on the history of the batmobile, by Insight Editions, is an absolute masterpiece. The book begins with a look at the early batman comic book batmobiles and continues through the 1966 Barris TV Batmobile, the 89 Burton era...all the way to the present day Tumbler! A few highlights of this book are the fantastic full color fold outs (see below) and the extensive amount of information and development artwork that are included. If I had one criticism it would be that they completely skip over the various animated incarnations of the Batmobile, which are just as iconic and important to many fans as the the movie versions. Overall, this is a great read and a must for any Batman fan.
