George Barris, the car designer who created the iconic 1966 Batmobile for the Batman television series, has died, according to a Facebook post posted by his son, Brett Barris. He was 89 years old.

"Sorry to have to post that my father, legendary kustom car king George Barris, has moved to the bigger garage in the sky," Brett Barris wrote. "He passed on peacefully in his sleep at 2:45 am. He was surrounded by his family in the comfort of his home. He lived his life they way he wanted til the end. He would want everyone to celebrate the passion he had for life and for what he created for all to enjoy."

Simply put, he created the greatest car ever.

He created the great one. RIP.
