One of only 15 times the amazing Batsubway Rocket appears in any Batman title! The Batsubway Rocket connects the Batcave to Gotham City's Subway system through the abandoned rail lines. Features include two pairs of jets on its back enabling it to reach speeds of up to 250 miles per hour, an anti-tracking device, automatic brakes which allow the driver to brake the vehicle in a matter of seconds, and a bi-directional gear and canopy, used to change directions when driving the rail tracks. Onboard equipment includes an on-board computer with an advanced navigation system able to deviate from other vehicles and control the underground transit system as well as a blast shield to prevent singeing from the burners and add aerodynamics to the rocket.
