1977 Batmobile

In the mid-1970s, most Batman merchandise was still based on the '60s TV series. This would change soon enough (once the Challenge of the Superfriends got underway), but until then there would be at least one more variation of the twin-bubble Futura. The above Batmobile appeared on a placemat in 1977, and although the overall design of the car is familiar, the details are rather unique to this car. These include a new shape to the front fenders, and a seperate chrome front bumper (most Batmobiles of this era featured integrated bumpers).
