This month, in "Batman & Robin #4", by Frank Miller and Jim Lee, there is a spectacular 6-page pullout with a panoramic drawing of the Batcave.

There are several versions of the Batmobile depicted.  The '66 is there, but they didn't draw scalloped fins for some reason.  The Tank Batmobile from "The Dark Knight Returns" is being welded by a robot, and if you look very carefully, behind one of the other robotic welders, you can see the turbine and left front fender of the '89 peeking out.

A few pages later, from a top-down view, you can see the hood of the Keaton car, too.  All in all, this issue is a nice homage to several of the cars.  I looked and looked, but couldn't see any evidence of a Tumbler anywhere...

***Nerd Alert***

While this piece is great eye candy, it doesn't make sense, because this issue marks young Dick Grayson's first introduction to the Batcave prior to becoming Robin, and why would Batman already have all of these versions of the car built, especially the Tank Batmobile which won't be used by him until the futuristic "Dark Knight Returns" tale?

My apologies.  I know this isn't a comics forum.  I'm merely reporting an '89 sighting...

I'm pretty sure that was mentioned and shown before but I can't remember where.
