About the Batmobile:
The Batmobile made its career debut in Batman #5, then appeared on a comic cover for the first time for Batman #20. Because of different artists' interpretations of what the car should be, it changed size, shape, and features frequently. Later, as the car was marketed beyond the comics, more forms appeared based on practical or aesthetic considerations. In the 1960s, the first full size, fully operational Batmobile was built for the TV show Batman, and had to face financial and functional questions. A few years later the design of this car would be modified for use in the Superfriends cartoon series, with the unique considerations of making a car that could be easily drawn repeatedly for animation. Then, nearly three decades after the TV series, Batman returned to live action with Warner Brothers Batman movies. At about the same time, Batman: The Animated series came out, with a whole new take on the design of Batman and his universe. All of this was on top of the natural evolution of the car over 60+ years, taking into account new technological features like the jet engine and the computer.

About the Creation: 
A Batman/Batmobile poster inspired by comic book cover art from the Golden Age of Comics created by artist Dick Sprang, reimagined by Marvel Comics artist John Hebert. "I had been looking for something to do with this image for a while, being a car guy and a big fan of Batman. The original was a bit shaky, especially for a Dick Sprang (Golden Age artist). The draftsmanship was a little shaky and the car was leaning a bit. Maybe a little rushed. I have a model of that very car in my studio so I was able to use it and manipulate it to get the angles down. I worked to stay true to the original but with my style and once it was colored, Wow! Did it just Pop!” - John Hebert

About the Artist:
John Hebert, born in New York State is a Marvel alumnus whose earliest canvas was the walls of his family home. At age four, he sketched his vision for how TV’s Batman and Robin (Adam West and Burt Ward) would escape from The Penguin (Burgess Meredith).

At the insistence of his mother, John’s media transitioned to pencil and paper where his talents accelerated, accepting a job to draw his first comic book just 2 days before his graduation from art school... John’s most recognized work includes the Punisher: War Zone, X-Men Adventures, Deathlok, Captain America, Spider-Man, Sable, and Jonny Quest.
