That is fantastic! I love the Tumbler. Hated to see it get trashed in the last movie. Supposedly there will be an updated one in The Dark Knight Rises.

That's awesome!



I would have bought it if it was the 2008 Lambo Reventon version.

Holy Toledo Batman, I had no idea! I assume everyone knows the real Batmobile was based off a 1966 GTO same as the Monkeemobile which has recently been restored. FYI Dark Night premeire on TV very soon.

i never realized there were so many batmobiles either.

$300,000 for a batmobile isn't bad. but how do you parallel park that thing?
