I have been meaning to do a post for this topic for a very long time but totally forgot. Yes, sometimes I am a total moron, ha ha! There's a website called "Todd's Blog" where a guy named Todd Klein has done an extensive study of the Batman Logo over the years. He starts with the one seen in the VERY first Batman story, Detective Comics #27, & then he works his way up to modern day. Seeing the evolution of the logo is pretty interesting, from a historical point of view. Plus, if you love graphic art design, then it's pretty neat too. I've included a few examples but at his website there are many many more. In fact the posts are broken-up into "parts". I think there are 5 of them. If you use the "Search Box" at the top of his page you can find the rest. Just type "Logo Study Batman" in there, pretty easy. The amount of attention used in this story is what makes it really clever. Plus, there's a lot of beautiful eye-candy to enjoy! Just click on the link button down below, you'll see.
You might remember awhile back there was a very popular graphic that circulated all over the web that featured "The Evolution of The Batmobile". Well, here's the latest popular graphic to hit the web and it's pretty funny, "Batman and the History of the Bat-Suit!" This was drawn by Benjamin Andrew Moore for a website called SCREENRANT. This graphic is very clever because, if you study each bat-suit, they're pretty accurate. Plus, I like how each one has it's own catch-phrase, ha!

OK, This is a fun post. For many years now many Comic Book Historians have believed that the very first "Batmobile Car", which appeared in Detective Comics #48 in 1941 ( drawn by Bob Kane ), was based on a Cord. But now, a Writer for the "Cars In Depth" website named Ronnie Schreiber has discovered what he thinks to be the original inspiration, a 1938 Graham Paige "Sharknose"! Now, I don't know much about Old Cars, but Ronnie's argument seems pretty valid. For more details be sure to read his article by clicking HERE!
