Top-Five Bat-Gimmicks
Today's top five examines the coolest of Batman's bat-related gimmicks.
5. Bat Signal
This is ranked this low mainly because it's not REALLY "his" gimmick. That being said, it's a major part of the Bat mythos, so it deserved a place on the list.
4. Batarang
The Batarang is one of the oldest of Batman's gimmicks (1939). Anyone know who invented it? Finger? Fox? Kane, perhaps?
And what a cool gimmick it is!
3. Batmobile
The Batmobile is such a staple of the Batman culture, isn't it?
And rightfully so!
2. Batplane
The Batmobile is cool and all, but nothing beats a bat-shaped plane!
1. Bat Shark Repellent
How awesome is Batman that he even has developed a special spray to repel SHARKS!
You go, Batman!!!
Agree, disagree? Let me know!

IIRC, the first use of the Batarang was in the 2-part "Monk" story, which is usually attributed to Gardner Fox. That story also had the first appearance of the "Bat-Gyro", the precursor to the Batplane, so that's two for Fox.
I'd submit that the 'Bat-Female-Villain-Repellent' from Night On Earth trumps the shark spray.
