Apparently the car used in the 1960s television show was built from a 1955 Ford Lincoln Futura concept car that never worked. So no clue there.
I was thinking about this because I asked my daughter why Batman doesn’t just drive around honking his horn with his eyes closed listening to everything around him. “Robin! That sounds like the Joker!”
Then I realized that I have no idea if I’ve ever seen the batmobile go “BEEP” in the comics or heard the car horn sound in the movies. “BIFF!” “BAM!” “POW!” “HONK?”
I can put “Batman” and “batmobile” tags on this post, but no “car horn”
The Batmobile doesn’t have a horn, if you can’t hear that engine coming from a mile away there is no hope for you. If it is running silent then Batman isn’t blowing a horn.
Maybe the horn goes off like an air raid alarm whenever they use the parachute to stop the car Soul a little van knows when to go and pick up the chutes.
I imagine it sounds badass. Like the craziest noise you’ve ever heard, something pretty dark and horrific. I imagine Frank Millers Batman roaming the streets ringing this noise everywhere he goes. I imagine that noise being like this: https://youtu.be/jdC9nJzZNyI
You know those movie trailers that set a dramatic tone with those intense sting in the soundtrack? It kind of sounds like “bwaaammp” every five seconds?
I wouldn’t be surprised if it sounded a lot like that.
