Here at the Bat-Blog, awhile back, we did a story about a guy in Ohio who bought a Military Drone Helicopter Engine & used it to make a Batmobile Replica Car that was unlike any other. Well, I guess he has decided to sell it, it's on eBay right now. OK, before you get ready to go hit eBay & bid let's just say that it's pretty expensive. I mean, the "BUY IT NOW" price is $620,000.00, ha! Yes, over half a million bucks! But the car is pretty impressive & would totally turn you into a complete Chick Magnet! So, go bid now! Here's a LINK.
If you read the Bat-Blog yesterday then you know we did a post about the "Michael Uslan Batman Book Signing" that happened in New Jersey last weekend. Well, for the event, they had a few Batmobile Replica Cars on display that were supplied by Gotham City Supercars. That's the 1st BATMAN WALLPAPER presented here. The photo features a very nice 1966 Batmobile & the cool car from the 1989 Movie. I would have tried to steal them BOTH, ha!
Then, the 2nd wallpaper background shares an image of BATWOMAN from the Golden Age. It's a convention drawing by Sheldon Moldoff. You see, I recently got an email from a Bat-Blog Fan asking to see a "Batwoman Background" showing her as she appeared in the TV Cartoon, "Batman: The Brave and The Bold". Yes, she made an appearance. Well, I did have some nice graphics of her but they're on my old computer that I can't access. Then, I searched Google forever trying to find these pics & could never find anything decent. Then, I asked the Warner Bros PR Dept to please send me some pics but that's taking forever. So I finally settled on these. Sorry Dude, I'll have those images for you when I can get them. In the mean time please enjoy this one.
Last Saturday our friend BatDave went to cover an event for a local Newspaper he works for. It was called "Hot Rods and Harleys"! They have it every year in historic downtown Rahway, NJ. This all-day festival spotlights Bikes, Bands, Babes, Beer, Classic Cars, Food and Family Fun! ( Sounds like a good time to me, ha! ).
BatDave took his Girlfriend, BatChick, & another friend. The cool thing was that they didn't know Batman's Car was gonna be there! They turned the corner, when, KA-POW! Sitting right there was one of the coolest 1966 Replica-Batmobiles they have ever seen! The car is owned by Louie and Anna Marie and they really have outdone themselves. The attention to detail is completely insane! Just check out all the photos & be prepared to drool. Needless to say BatDave and his Crew had a wonderful time, ha! ( Thanks to BatDave for sharing his photos and story ).
Early this morning I got an email from a Bat-Blog Fan named Dan who shared this dream of wanting a Fiberglass Freaks 1966 Batmobile Replica Car. Which is kinda funny because that's the same dream that tortures all of us, ha ha! But hey, Dan is doing something about it! He is currently trying to raise money ( through donations ) to buy his very own '66 Batmobile, and then tour the country with it, stopping to visit everyone who has helped and giving them the chance to drive it themselves! He also plans on stopping at Children Hospitals along the way and giving free rides to sick kids. So, if you wanna help a Bat-Brother out then please give whatever you can, just click HERE!
It's built by Leif Garvin from Stockholm. It took him over 20 000 hours of work and $1 million to finish it. The engine is an 460 Ford big block V8, 700 hp and it's built on a 1973 Lincoln Continental.
YYEEE HAAAWW! Somebody done made themselves a Batmobile, bang bang! OK, all kidding aside this Homemade Custom Batmobile Replica Car is actually pretty cool! You KNOW you want one! It looks like it was made from a 1970's Corvette. In fact, the license plate says, "BAT-VET" ( I love that, ha ha! ). Plus, those HUGE tail-fins are pretty sweet!
OK, These photos are pretty funny and, yes, it might be a situation where "you had to be there", but I think it's totally hilarious! These 2 pics were sent in by our friend Dave who said he was just traveling down the street when all of a sudden he & his Wife saw Batman's Car going down the street!! He explains it a lot better than me so here's what he wrote:
"My wife & I were heading back from the Chiller Theater Convention in New Jersey on Halloween Night and we spotted a Batmobile driving on 95 North through Connecticut! My wife Nancy tried taking a pic through my driver's window, then we caught a better pic on the passenger's side, making me MISS the exit for 95 North to Rhode Island! We were able to get back on the highway and make it home, but it was worth the pic. This gentleman driving the Batmobile looks like he modified his black Corvette with reflective tape, the Batman shield, and this gentleman actually painted and detailed the foam wings! I hope you enjoy the pics!"
Enjoy the pics? Oh man, these pics are GREAT! I also think the story is pretty funny too like how you missed your exit just to get a photo...Ha Ha! Thanks so much for sharing your story & almost risking your life. It WAS worth it!!

Last weekend, in New York City, they had the famous BIG APPLE COMIC CON 2009! One of the special guests was none other than the legendary Batman Comic Book Artist Neal Adams. Don't believe me? Well, here's photographic proof! Here is Neal sitting in a beautiful 1966 Batmobile Replica Car. Now, I mean, how cool is that! I have never got to sit in one of these things, but from what I have been told, once you sit there you never want to leave, ha ha! I love the expression on Adams' face, priceless. If you want to know more about Neal Adams' current work then I suggest checking out his website. You can visit today by clicking HERE!
