Some items discussed in this retrospect of the Dark Knight’s arsenal doesn’t actually fit within our hero’s belt, even though many incarnations showcase he has more in the utility belt that meets the eye. One object that has proven to be essential is the Batcomputer (panel 1 by Norm Breyfogle from Detective Comics 607 from November, 1989). Before the super computer became an important part of the mythos, Batman used several other means to keep surveillance on the criminals in Gotham and receive necessary intel for his missions, from a simple television (Detective Comics 142, 1948) to the Batmobile (Batman 91, 1951). The Batcomputer’s first appearance in comics was Batman (Vol 1) 189 from February 1967 (panel 2) which also marked the villain Scarecrow’s appearance since his Golden Age debut and the debut of his infamous fear toxin used on the Dynamic Duo. While it is probable that the Batcomputer and other Bat products connected to the punch card type machine (from the Dual Identity Bat-signal to the Special Escaped Archcriminal Bat-locator) debuted in 1966’s live action tv show “Batman” starring the late Adam West (panel 3), the Batcomputer has been used by several members of the Batman family within the Batcave. As the Batcomputer has evolved in size and technology (panel 4 from Detective Comics 519, 1982) the tool has played major roles within important story arcs such as Jim Starlin’s 1988/1989 arc “Batman: A Death in the Family” when Jason Todd (Robin) uses it as a source to locate his real mother (panel 5), its survival during the Cataclysm in Gotham (panel 6 from Batman: Shadow of the Bat 73, 1998) and Alfred using the Batcomputer to control the T-Rex’s attack on Hush (panel 7 from Detective Comics 850, 2009). From connected to the police department to breaking into government intel, the Batcomputer has been seen across all visual media from film (panel 8 from “Batman”) to television (panel 9 from “Batman: The Animated Series) to video games (panel 10 from Batman: Arkham Asylum), the Batcomputer is definitely one of the tools that makes Batman the hero we celebrate everyday.
