The 5 examples of the EMERGENCY BAT-TURN in the TV series Batman. The Batmobile can quickly rotate 180 degrees while driving (parachutes deployed) or standing still. Of course the Parachute Pickup van was added to prevent littering on the roads!

Yeah I get it, everything is labled. I get that. But I know that this is a Button. Lets take for example "Bat-laser Beam", I know what this is for, obiously it's a Beam, a laser Beam, and not only that it's... oh, who would have gueses, a Button to activate that.

It certainly looked like at least two or three of the "bat-turns" were the same clip. I mean who's going to notice in the days before endless reruns and VCRs, right?

The Legendary Bat-U-Turn.
Somewhat surprized that batman did not use his indicators.
There was a slight advancement in the Bat-turn from the first to second use of it-from just a fancy-ass u-turn to turning around on a dime. I regularly say “emergency Bat-turn” whenever I have to do a u-ey.
Love the sound of that Batmobile.

I have noticed that parachutes had bat logos on them with strings attached to them and when batman pushed a button to cut them off and batmobile parachute pick up services was called from the batmobile and I think it's was Robin called them to come out pick up them from the ground
Should have shown when Batman caught up with Riddler and "Robin". Batman did just what Riddler said he would do; "He'll give us the Batbeam any second now."

The Parachute pick up has an interesting story. A young viewer wrote a letter to Batman producers stating that if Batman never breaks the law, how come he leaves the parachute behind?, that's littering. So, the producers invented the " Batmobile parachute pick up service" van. What a job, sit around in a van waiting for the phone to ring. Maybe a side job for Alfred.

My computer keyboard is inspired by the labels on the Batmobile's controls. The "A" key doesn't just say "A": it says "A KEY". It gets a little repetitive, though: one key, for example, says both "1 KEY" and "! KEY".
