Batman Realizes The Batmobile’s ONE Major Weakness

DC’s Batman has driven a variety of Batmobiles over the years, and while every fan is sure to have their favorite Batmobile, the hero’s latest run-in with the new Suicide Squad proves his signature vehicle can never be secure enough to keep everyone locked out. Especially if they have on power in particular.

With each new entry into the Batmobile collection, Batman has been upgrading each one to make a super car. In fact, one of the newer Batmobiles he creates in the DC Comics may be powerful enough to put all previous Batmobiles to shame. His Batmobile is so popular, some of the Dark Knight’s villains-such as Mr. Freeze-have been developing their own versions of the vehicle and even the Gotham Police have a desire to drive their own. The reason the Batmobile is such a popular vehicle in the DC Universe-besides from the fact that Batman is the driver and creator-is because of the vehicle’s weapons. Which include missiles, laser beams, and the inside of the Batmobile is filled with life-saving and crime-fighting gadgets. Even though Batman has been developing variations of the Batmobile to make it  impenetrable, the truth is… it’s not.

After the Suicide Squad’s shocking escape from captivity, and with their bombs no longer a threat, the fleeing team are tracked by a squad of assassins… and by Batman, too. With millions of dollars offered to the killer who brings the Squad down, they are prepared to fight for their lives. But when their assassins are surprisingly found unconscious, Batman arrives to reveal himself behind their gassing. As Batman and the Suicide Squad continue to fight, Deadshot knocks Batman out long enough for the rest of the team to make their escape. Leaving Batman to slowly regain consciousness, and realize the Batmobile is gone. And it’s Deadshot who explains how.

Curious as to how, he discusses the situation with Deadshot. Then, Deadshot tells him the frightening truth, that a newer member of the Suicide Squad named Wink teleported inside his vehicle, possibly hot-wired it, and drove off with the rest of the Suicide Squad. Which means that the Batmobile’s one weakness is the unexplained and unpredictable abilities of metahumans.

Batman’s Batmobile may be impenetrable against goons and the majority of his villains, but it’s as easy to defeat as anything else when the ability to teleport is brought into the fold. At least, it used to be, the next time Batman gets his hands on it.
