The undoubted low point of Batman's history in the movies was Batman & Robin, described by Roger Ebert as "wonderful to look at, and has nothing authentic at its core." But Ebert did notice Batman's new Batmobile and, frankly, with its predominant red, orange, yellow and blue lights, it would be hard to miss. A bat mask was incorporated into the nose of the vehicle, while all the weapons and gizmos were handled by an onboard voice-activated computer.
