A few photos I took way back in 2016 of the Eaglemoss Flying Batcave; part of the Batman Automobilia collection.
The Flying Batcave first appeared in Detective comics #186(August 1952), and made a second appearance in Detective Comics # 317 (July 1963)
The Flying Batcave is not unlike the TARDIS, in that inside is impossibly packed with an array of gadgetry to help the dynamic duo fight crime above Gotham City.
Housed inside the strange looking craft is a compartment filled with observation screens to monitor the Gotham streets, below.
There's even a garage with a mini version of the Batmobile; a trophy room; sleeping quarters, and a galley.
Incredibly, it's also fitted with a giant grab-claw and electromagnet, as well as a miniature submersible!
And just for good measure, there are illuminated bat signals either side of the hull, and it can create a cloud around itself to sneak up on the villains!
Holy Incredulous!

There are no pictures visible when I view this on my phone, just a dotted square with OBJ written in it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I just spotted that Kev. Don't know why that happened. I've reposted them now so all should be visible now.
DeleteObviously, the Joker's been up to his old tricks!;)
Brill, yep all good now.
ReplyDeleteThat's fine! :)
DeleteI love the hokey 50's science fiction vehicles from the bat-cave, Alex Ross turns them all into peace keeping robots in his future Gotham from the graphic novel Kingdom Come
ReplyDeleteNot read the relatively modern Kingdom Come,MJ. Sounds intriguing as its one of those otherworld stories, isn't it? When I used to read the Batman comics I liked those alternative what if tales. Probably the last one I read was a while back; Gotham by Gaslight. Is that one you remember?
DeleteI love Gotham by Gaslight, the sequel (the name escapes me) has Batman fighting Moriarty, the animation was a disappointment, so many opportunities with this world not quite realized, in the manner of Gangs of New York,several dumb casting choices spoiling a good movie, I think they worked out Jack the ripper was a German merchant sea-man and was eventually captured in New York, spending his last days in Sing Sing, which would easily double for Arkham asylum
DeleteI believe it was called Batman:Master of the Future,MJ but I'm pretty sure I've never read it. I'll try and track it down
