The Batmobile is the vehicle the superhero Batman utilizes to fight crime. It is often depicted in comic books or live action features in various forms including as an all-terrain, self-powered, armored vehicle. It is a key tool that Batman has traditionally used to fight crime and is stored in Batman’s secret hide out - the Batcave. The Batmobile leaves and returns to the hideout through a hidden entrance and tunnels, often shown to be under a body of water or in the side of a hill. The first appearance of the Batmobile was in Detective Comics #27 in May, 1939 and was as a red sedan.
