History

Development

Bruce Wayne building the Flying Fox

At some point in time, development of the vehicle began. But the best minds at Wayne Aerospace could not figure out how to make the vehicle fly, causing its development to be shelved indefinitely.

At some point Bruce Wayne restarted work on the Flying Fox in the Wayne Aerospace Hangar in preparation for the coming invasion he foresaw.

Battle of Pozharnov

During the final battle against Steppenwolf in Pozharnov, Russia, the Flying Fox was used to transport the Justice League. Batman used it to drop the Batmobile out from behind to fight the Parademon invasion.

Batman then used its missiles to break into Steppenwolf's Stronghold, damaging the ship in the process. As it crashed, Batman escaped in the Batmobile, gunning down the Parademon squadrons sent to kill him.

After Steppenwolf's defeat, the Justice League stood atop one of Pozharnov's nuclear reactor towers, watching the sunrise as the Flying Fox picked them up.

Chase of Al-Falcone

During the chase of Albert Falcone. The Flying Fox is used to deploy Batman and his motorcycle on the Gotham highway. It later picks him up on the bridge after apprehending Falcone.

Behind the Scenes

• The Flying Fox was partially inspired by World War II fighter jets and the Batmobile from Batman: The Animated Series.
• The name "Flying Fox" was originally Bruce Wayne's superhero identity during the Silver Age era of comics, or what became known as Earth-1, before he met with Superboy and before he became the first Robin and eventually Batman. "Fox" is also the translation of "Zorro" in English; Zorro was a major inspiration on Bill Finger, who co-created Batman, and since The Dark Knight Returns version of his origin, it is sometimes presented as the film that the Waynes saw just before that tragic night. But the Flying Fox is also the name of one of the world's largest bats.
