Undercover Batmobile — Description

This is just for fun. My black Camaro is constantly being referred to as "the Batmobile" by my friends, so I finally broke down and created this image. Plus, come to think of it, on some covert surveillance missions, it does seem like Batman might have more luck prowling the streets of Gotham if he wasn't cruising around in such an outrageously recognizable custom-ride. Based on that premise, I still couldn't resist giving this vehicle a few "Bat-gadgets."

This also reminds me of a scene from an episode of Gotham, in which Bruce get's his first car, a tricked out new black Ford Mustang. It was awesome! Unfortunately, it was stolen about 3 minutes after he got it, so it was ultimately pretty anti-climactic, and amounted to little more than a plug for Ford. But I think it was a missed opportunity. He should have held onto that car for the whole season, at least. Then, as he perceived the need for new gadgets, they could have added them on, one-by-one, in the Batcave (which was another woefully under-utilized element in the series.) Ultimately, wouldn't it have been great to see, Alfred and Bruce tinkering on that car in the cave, when Bruce suddenly looks up and says. "Y'know, Alfred. We should stop modifying this car, and work on designing an all new-vehicle from scratch, . . . one that was built from the wheels up for this kind of work." All of us Bat-fans would've gone crazy over a scene like that.
