Among Batman’s most recognized gadgets could be the Batmobile itself. This vehicle functions as a multi-purpose toolbox for the vigilante, serving not only as transportation but also protection, weapons, and more throughout its various forms over the years. The latest take on this iconic vehicle was unveiled in DC’s “Absolute Batman” #2, which surpasses even the Tumbler from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy in terms of insanity. However, the book written by Scott Snyder has once again innovated, presenting yet another new version of the Batmobile that challenges the idea that bigger is always best.
Caution: Contains plot details beyond this point for Absolute Batman #4 by Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta, and Gabriel Hernandez Walta. Proceed with caution if you wish to avoid spoilers.
Issue #4 of “Absolute Batman” delves deeper into the initial stages of Bruce Wayne’s crusade as Batman, offering a glimpse into some of his earliest encounters with Gotham’s crime. This includes a precursor to Batman, who was armed and quite dramatic, featuring face paint and fangs filled with a paralyzing agent that would activate upon bite. However, we also witness Bruce refining his methods, eventually leading to the unveiling of what might be the smallest Batmobile ever built – though its size should not deceive, for it is incredibly dangerous.
In hot pursuit of a tractor-trailer loaded with weapons and illegal substances sneaked into Gotham by the Maronis and Falcones, Batman employs a radio-controlled car he’s customized for the task, using it to sabotage the shipment and incapacitate the truck’s drivers. This miniature Batmobile might not seem extraordinary; the comic book refers to it as “a hydraulic jack. A remote-control sports car equipped with a 4600KV motor, some black paint, and a price tag under $1,000,” but it delivers a powerful blow. It also underscores that even though Absolute Batman, an alternate version of the legendary hero with a distinct origin and vastly different assets, is incredibly intelligent, he’s still adept at inventing intricate and effective gadgets for his crime-fighting missions.
In addition to the miniature Batmobile, issue #4 of Absolute Batman unveils another innovative and intriguing piece of equipment: the Bat-Thumb. Unlike traditional grappling hooks, this gadget is strapped to Bruce Wayne’s hand and wrist, activated by a simple bend of his hand. When triggered, the Bat-Thumb extends and curls to latch onto any surface the user intends to secure themselves to. The issue depicts Bruce employing it to enter through a window, and despite its comical appearance, the Bat-Thumb appears to be a highly practical addition to Batman’s arsenal, providing him with an on-demand tool that could potentially serve other purposes as well.
As a movie enthusiast who’s always on the lookout for the next big Batman reveal, I can’t help but get thrilled about the latest additions to his toolkit: the compact Batmobile and the innovative Bat-Thumb! These new gadgets not only expand the vigilante’s arsenal but also remind us of the essence of Batman – his unparalleled ingenuity. So, I can’t wait to see what creative twists and turns this latest version of Batman will bring us next!
