I've been looking more closely at the artwork at the top of this web page and I think that while the illustration is good, it's not 100% accurate and maybe Eric should post the 'ultimate' pic of the #1 car there instead. So who's got their favourite shots to offer for possible consideration? I've seen many truly beautiful pics of the Bat that could easily qualify! Which angle is her best? Of course there are many amazing replicas and great photos of them, but I doubt many would disagree that it should only be pics of the #1 car for consideration... Let's find the BEST shot - if we can narrow it down to a handful we can conduct a poll and see if we can all come to a consensus!

Obviously Eric chose that illustration of the Batmobile for his own reasons. We've all seen nearly all the pics of the Batmobile, and you're right, there are some real beauty shots out there. But for someone else to come in and start asking the owner of the site to make changes to it, or even worse for someone else to try and get a poll or petition to make changes is just flat rude! Did you consider that maybe that illustration was done by Eric? And that he may be very proud of it? Here's a thought. For everyone who doesn't like the site...make your own. ...Speaking words of wisdom...let it be. -Paul McCartney-

I am totally open in changing the one above...honestly I am bored with it. So I think it is a good idea. Post your ideas and I will change it!! By the way, some of my favorite (vintage) pics involve people (or kids) with the car. Like the one below. Of course that is not something I would post on the top of my board. Below is one of my favorite pics of the car (thanks AP)

I'm so glad Eric agrees and is open to my suggestion. Yes it's Ron's artwork above that I was referring to. I love this site and check in almost daily. RESPECT!!

When was this taken? The Bat-turn lever is missing, and there's no white outline on the door bat... ALSO: I'm happy with flopped because that makes her RIGHT HAND DRIVE!!

Any idea where this was that the #1 was left unattended behind a gas station?? (edit) Looks like some paint chips along the pinstripes... does the date of the photo suggest this was after filming had wrapped on season three at this time?

As I recall, we thought it very interesting that the car was still intact after the show was over, as many had suspected that Fox/Greenway had removed the beacon cage, antennae/antlers, etc. at the end of the series.
