That’s really wild to see this remastered in HD. It looks like it could have been shot yesterday.

Barris should have kept the raising window bubble feature. Would have made more sense from a crime fighting stand point to have an enclosed car (bullet proof etc) not to mention it does rain, get cold and hot in Gotham City. That being said, I love our Batmobile!
Music. BAT! Music.

And it would tie back to the 1950’s Batmobile
Some days you just can't get rid of a ... SHARK!
Re: Futura Batmobile in HD...blu ray
I can't remember where I read it, but I feel like I saw an interview about that once, where someone (Barris probably?) said that the open/close mechanism was too slow, and they decided that it would never work within the action context of the show.

Yeeeowzah! Or: "Holy Campbell's Cream of Tomato!"
Note how the paint job isn't as glossy as it could be - a concession to preventing reflections, probably."To the medical eye, such childish claptrap means only one thing, young man: You need some sleep."
