This story introduces several new elements to the "New Look" Batman. Batman has redesigned the Bat-Cave with an automatic elevator leading to Wayne Manor. The Batmobile has also been redesigned into a sports car. The Bat-Cave exit is no longer a barn, it is now a hidden door on a hillside and leads to the highway.
Batman also uses a Hot-Line phone which links the Batmobile (later on the Bat-Cave, too) to Commissioner Gordon's office. Gordon's physical appearance also looks younger and slimmer than prior appearances.
