The Batmobile is arguably the most iconic vehicle in the history of entertainment. Batman historian Glen Weldon (Pop Culture Happy Hour) takes a look at every Batmobile that's appeared on television and the silver screen. Glen gets into Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher's takes on the vehicles, why Christopher Nolan transitioned from the Batmobile to the Tumbler, and why the 1966 Batmobile remains so iconic even to this day.
Glen Weldon is the author of The Caped Crusade: Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture, and Superman: The Unauthorized Biography. He’s a culture critic on the NPR Arts Desk, and a panelist on the NPR podcast, Pop Culture Happy Hour.
