This mirrors the actual TV car, which had a matt finish before shooting began and was then changed to gloss at the last moment.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-34611918970981782412013-07-07T18:20:30.286+01:002013-07-07T18:20:30.286+01:00Kid, this is the greatest die-cast car of the 60s....Kid, this is the greatest die-cast car of the 60s. The gold Bond DB5 is a very close second. The rich metallic black paint is a sight to behold.

It was from Detective Comics #241 and reprinted in Batman #182. Dick Grayson broke his arm while rescuing a child from being hit by a getaway car. While Batman and Robin hunted the robbers, Batman wore a series of colorful costumes. After they caught the villains, Batman explained to Alfred that the costumes were to draw attention to himself and away from Robin. If anyone noticed the injured arm, they might remember that Grayson had the same injury, and deduce his identity. (Robin had to accompany Batman on the hunt, as he was the only one who could recognize the crooks on sight.)
