Earth-One
Most of the Earth-One Batmobiles were designed and built for Batman by stunt driver Jack Edison, who Batman had rescued from a flaming car wreck. Weapon systems and computer hardware were added by Batman.

Post-Crisis
Modern versions of the Batmobile are coated with titanium and the car still has the reactive armor, jet engine, onboard computer (which is capable of connecting the Batcave and Wayne businesses for multiple functions). The car is heavier than a tank and has the ability to absorb impact. The car can be triggered by a button on Batman's utility belt or in his gloves.
 * Capabilities           =

The Batmobile contain various projectiles and missiles, although rarely does Batman use this feature. Batman can also make the Batmobile self-destruct by remote control, in the event criminals capture the vehicle. Modern versions of the Batmobile include an onboard computer located on the dashboard with a direct feed to the mainframe computer located in the Batcave.
