The Light Blue Van

Post by Dr. Shimel »

This was a staple in a number of S1 episodes. I can think of at least four it was used in:

Mad Hatter: Taking away one of the mesmerized jury members.

Riddler: Leaving the Wax Museum after knocking out the duo with blow darts

Joker: The Gayfellow Cleaners truck

Bookworm: Batmobile parachute pickup

Any others?

From memory, was it not also in the Catwoman episode part 2 when they went to dig up the treasure?

Did they all have the same registration number?

I seem to think that A.Pennyworth has a great selection of screen captures of the dodge van in question and it's frequent usage.

I love the Dodge A-100. You can see it, or one like it, in other shows of the time. Like this appearance in “Get Smart.”

Figures Toy Company (FTC) do reproductions of the old Mego Kombi vans, to accompany 8" action figures. (Classic TV Toys now offer seven colours and mix 'n' match roofs.) From memory, there was a black Batman mobile lab, a red Daily Planet van, a blue Gotham City prisoner van, a purple Joker van, a green Riddler van, white van, and this yellow Teen Titans' van:
