‘Absolute Batman’ Provides the Dark Knight with Another Deadly Batmobile

by

Among the iconic tools of Batman, there’s none more renowned than his vehicle – the Batmobile. Over time, this automobile has metamorphosed into a versatile war machine, managing tasks ranging from transportation to battle. Every successive model appears more extraordinary than its predecessor, and in issue #4 of Absolute Batman by Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta, and Gabriel Hernandez Walta, they take things to unprecedented heights.

The story delves into the Batmobile, providing an insight into Bruce Wayne’s initial years as Gotham City’s guardian. It uncovers a precursor to Batman who resorted to guns and possessed fangs with a paralyzing bite. As his tactics advanced, so did his equipment. And it’s here that we encounter the tiniest Batmobile to date.

This miniature, remotely-controlled Batmobile isn’t big in stature, but it packs quite a punch. The description goes like this: “It’s essentially a bottle jack, an RC sports car equipped with a powerful 4600KV motor, a coat of black paint, and all of that for less than $1,000.” However, don’t let its small size deceive you.

Though it may seem unassuming at first glance, this compact device possesses an impressive power. In an alternate world, even the resourcefulness of Batman was put to the test as he used it to halt a truck carrying weapons and narcotics, demonstrating that his ingenuity remains undiminished in this universe.

Additionally, Absolute Batman #4 unveils another innovation – the Bat-Thumb, a novel grappling gadget. Attached to Bruce’s hand and wrist, it springs into action with just a quick hand gesture.

The Bat-Thumb is designed to fasten onto various surfaces, aiding Batman in scaling buildings or securing himself. Despite its unusual appearance, the practicality of this device is evident, and it may prove useful for additional purposes as time goes on.

The ingenious gadgets demonstrate that Batman’s true strength lies in his intellect, leaving us eagerly anticipating his next creative creation in this exhilarating series. Grab your copies of Absolute Batman #4, out now!
