The Batmobile Has All Its Wheels

Alright all you comic book fans out there, have I got the story for you. Recently the people at Detective Comics (DC) have given the O.K. for the company, Fiberglass Freaks, to mass produce replicas of the 1966 Batmobile.



That's right, that beautiful piece of automotive technology that got Adam West, uh I mean Bruce Wayne, around the streets of Gotham in the '60s Batman series will be available to anyone. All that it will cost you? Eh, $150,000. I know, it seems a little rough, but for the serious fan this is not unreasonable. What is really impressive is all the features that have been built into this vehicle. Rocket exhaust flamethrower, show-car quality paint job, brand new engine and transmission are just a few of the perks in this ride.

I came about this wonderful news on a website called Nerd Approved. Considering myself a huge nerd when it comes to Batman, I had to see how others like me felt about the Batmobile. Unfortunately, no one has yet to comment on this news post. Additionally, the author of the post, Sean Fallon, didn't really state his own opinion about the Batmobile. Instead he just lists what will be included on the ride. Perhaps more geek-like but not very nerd-like in my opinion.

However, the lack of opinion aside, Fallon does a nice job of including photos of the Batmobile on the site. The ride looks amazing. If I had the cash I would be preparing myself for a new outlook on life in that thing.
