Close-up look, insane Batmobile built by Ohio man

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I built a custom replica of a 1966 Batmobile. When I go to car shows people ask if the buttons and switches all work. They do. I made this video to demonstrate most of the features of the car, including the simulated turbine start up sound. Finish body work and paint by Mr. Pat Crafton. Here is a link to another video of the Batmobile chasing the Joker:

    I would have to agree this one is incredible and the best one I’ve ever seen before. The fact that nearly all the gadgets actual work is incredible. I didn’t think the guns would shoot and I was very impressed that the shoots retracted back into the car. Remarkable ingenuity. I will say for the rockets I think you could somehow incorporate a legal firework or type of flare that can shoot out. That would take that feature and the car to even a higher level. Again this is a work of art and I can’t imagine all the time and money spent to create such a vehicle. Bravo.

    @@LtJackboot lol - I did like the Monkees too. My Mom bought me 2 Monkee shirts and a dickie for school in about 3rd or 4th grade. If you remember them, they were the double buttoned shirts they wore. It was in the summer before school started and they were meant to be FOR SCHOOL. The Sunday before school started I begged and pleaded to wear a Monkee shirt out to see my friends. Mom finally caved but said don’t do anything to ruin it. I promised not to and out I went feeling like the shit. Walked to the end of the block and there were my buddies and one of the dad’s with a go cart. Awesome! When it was my turn to drive it, I rolled it off a curb and pretty much tore the Monkee shirt off my back and ripped a finger open along with other road rash. No helmet of course as we grew up in the great days of no safety protocol. I walked back home and when Mom saw the shirt ripped open … the only thing that saved my ass was the blood pouring out of my finger and we had to go to the hospital to get my finger stitched up haha. Well, I still had one fancy shirt for school.

    The more retro, and dark, anything concerning Batman is the more authentic it is in my opinion. All the Batmobiles in the movies did justice to the Dark Knight but for me the best Batmobile was the one in this video, the same one in the mid 1960s TV show, which actually wasn't a dark portrayal of him. That's just the styling. The weapons and devices are way over the top. And with every minute I watched it became more unbelievable. Really amazing job on what you've created here Batcarguy.
