Many of us think the Batmobile is a cool car, right? Ever since the first TV series car appeared, people have liked it. Believe it or not, but there's a guy here in Stockholm, Sweden who's built a replica of the Batmobile from the 1989 Batman Returns movie. I stumbled upon it Friday night, as I was driving a customer to Hard Rock Café. Had to go back and snap some pics!

Here's a link to some background about it.

The guy who built it was even trying out for Idol....

Beyond Ultra-Cool!!!! B)

Your pictures really capture the vibe. It looks sooooo sinister under the low light in its flat black finish and gothic highlights, receding into the night-time urban landscape. This was always my favorite version. It summed up all the best of all the other versions.

Same here Bernard! It's my favorite of the "live action" Batmobiles and other than the ones from the early-mid 90's animated series, it's right at the top of all time favorites! Don't know if that's because it looks like some of the fastest LSR cars or what though :blink:

Nice pics! Looks sinister at night!

These photos were on another automotive web site. The builder spent $1 million and 3 1/2 years building his Batmobile (can we say "Batmobile" here?) B)

kind of OT ,but does anyone remember Scale Auto Enthusiasts's build a Batmobile contest? back then a comic book company squashed the contest, or at least tried to and it was renamed the build a kit #6877 contest. some very unique Batmobile variants were the end result.

it just made me think though that if a company would do the same if you were attempting to build a replica of a movie car today. oh, wait, didn't a Mr. Shelby try and do just that? ;)

Yup, it was the first SAE I bought.......wonder if I still have that somewhere :D
