Why Batman was invented

I know I’ll never own a car this spectacular, but I enjoy dreaming. +1

That bears only a passing resemblance to a 1947 Cadillac

They didn't look like this, this one's chopped and slammed.

"Almost got 'em" - Villains telling Batman war stories while playing cards. All looking at Croc because he said "I threw at rock at him".
Pokegeologist
It was a big rock.

OMFG, I love the shape of classic cars like this. Absolutely beautiful form and function.
VictusVonGuyver
Absolute style to them. Most modern cars now just have the same generic look by type. It's actually been like that since the late 70's.
There are a few others like the Canoo, Telo MT1, and T/One. As much as I hate the cyber truck, it at least stands out even if it fails at almost everything the Ford Model T could pull off almost a century ago.
jammer909
A Cybertruck is like a soup spoon with holes. "Just because you're unique, does not mean you're useful". Damn thing looks like PS1 graphics and fails at literally everything. I kinda like the look of Rivian, but yeah, most of the modern stuff looks the same. Utility without style, or someone's idea of what they think people will like and still have absolutely no practical use. Give me an old Tucker or Studebaker and modernize the radio, brakes, and suspension while keeping everything else stock.

Nah, Simply Irresistible was a single by Robert Palmer from 1988

Shout out to the Original Funky Meters.
Ardback
yeah ! but this car has ... something that makes him irresistible too.
MadamPuddifoot
Did you just know the year or did you have to look it up, be honest.
MadamPuddifoot
Getting a downvote for asking a question? Okay weirdos.
FelonyRaptor
That's right. I also find myself easily resisting that car. I mean, I didn't try to grab the screen or go out looking for one to steal.
ThisGuyPostingThings
'88? For some reason, I thought it was '87. That very slightly changes my knowledge of '80s music.
MarsIsAfire
Nah, you're thinking of the 1999 romantic comedy Simply Irresistible starring Sarah Michelle Gellar.

There's no telling where the money went.

The car; the money went into the car.

There's no other way to go.

I don't think PettiestLA realises which decade the Batman comics originated from.
Sechran
Maybe, but he's not wrong specifying the 90s cartoon. Said cartoon was explicitly 𝘴𝘦𝘵 in the 90s (there are in-universe publications with dates shown, and the dates used in the future set Batman Beyond are also clear), so those criminals were robbing banks in a half-century old classic car.
... or Gotham just has an anachronistic aesthetic that thinks time in adorable but unimportant.
jmacg
Yeah, it was 90s with an art deco aesthetic. They called it ‘dark deco’.
ydwyrd
They were deliberately doing the same thing as Archer, where it's ostensibly set in the modern day, but the aesthetics are all over the place. So you've got a lot of modern tech for the time, but everything has a retro '40s vibe to it.
JimFromMarketing
Retro futurism, specifically the branch considered "anachronistic technology" or a "parallel present"
cyanideremark
And there was the Warren Beatty/Madonna Dick Tracy bandwagon movie too.
thedudeman519
Which, to be fair, is pretty rad.
Hashbrown123
Dick Tracy was Art Deco, Batman was Dark Deco. And both of them are why I love that style so much.
