This Batmobile was the first model used by Batman.

Taking on Joker and his Goons
Bruce Wayne designed the Batmobile in a custom way, equipped with shields and gadgets that made it go and stop without a driver. it assisted him in rescuing Vicki Vale from Joker and also was used to destroy Joker's hideout at Axis Chemicals.

When shielded, it was termed being in "Cocoon" mode.

Saving Gotham from the Red Triangle Gang
Months later, Batman would drive the Batmobile in battle against the Red Triangle Gang. It was sabotaged and remote controlled by Penguin.

To narrowly squeeze through an alleyway, Batman ejected its side pannels, putting the Batmobile in its "Batmissile" mode.

Batman would eventually quit actively using this Batmobile, and go on to use at least two different models.
