Batspin effect photo

Post by rsaffle »

I saw someone on Facebook saying they freeze framed the bat spin effect and it was a photo of the Batmobile start button. I didn't know that.

Interesting… the “start” of the show titles?

I did know that, but I learned it here. Back when the dvds first came out I think.

The Start Button was the first batspin image, and it became the "official" one used throughout the series, but in the pilot (and maybe other early episodes?) at least a couple of other spinning images were also used. A notable example is at about 15:40 in Hi Diddle Riddle -- it looks like the source image might have been a newspaper page.

The two images on the bottom left look to be the same spin, judging from the bit of image and the colors. Some sort of light blue vehicle in the center?

The second row are both the same. Batman on Right. Maybe Robin on left?
Third row my guess is the parachute van?
Fourth row I think its Alfred? Not sure who else would have a green jacket vest?
