First use of the Shark Repellent Bat Spray

Last updated: September 6, 2017 at 3:49 am

July 20, 1966 – Robin hands Batman a can of Shark Repellent Bat Spray while they are both dangling on a ladder under the Batcopter. Batman uses the spray to fight off a shark that has latched onto his leg after he was accidentally lowered into the ocean. The shark explodes when it falls back into the water.

“Holy sardine!” — Robin upon seeing the shark attacking Batman
