Real Life Batmobile: Man Spends Two Years Building Iconic 1989 Car
SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/1sHvkD5
A REAL-LIFE superhero has turned down six-figure offers for his home-made Batmobile - so he can continue helping sick children. Batman fanatic Zac Mihajlovic, from Camden, Australia, hand-built his very own street legal version of the car from the 1989 film starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. The 29-year-old turned his comic book fantasies into a high-octane reality by constructing a replica of the iconic vehicle. And the car has whipped up a reaction wherever it has been seen. Businessmen from across the world, including a Sheik in Dubai, have offered Zac big bucks for the Batmobile - and he has also seen his share of bizarre requests. And rather than cash-in on his dream machine, Zac decided to use his powers for good by teaming up with the Make-A-Wish foundation, who make dream’s come true for terminally-ill children.

Nah cars like these don't get stolen. Vandalized maybe, but typically thieves go for bland mass produced Hondas and the like because they are easy to sell or part out to somebody else. This car however is both insanely unique and likely uses a lot of custom non-uniform parts to the auto industry, it'd be near impossible to sell and even more impossible to hide from police.

That's truly amazing. I can only image the reaction those poor kids get when they see Batman come up to them. What a great person this guy is.
That would make any kid so happy. I bet they're smiling from ear to ear. Keep up the good work Batman.
The BatMobile is awesome and all, what I'm impressed about is him helping kids and doing charity events Not sure if its the same guy but I heard there was also a rich guy who not only has the outfit, the Batmobile, but the man donates money to charity and visits hospitals to see the kids, and if there are any kids that can't get up or are on wires he visits them personally THAT right there is my hero!

That has ALWAYS been my favorite Batmobile! I fell in love with it when i first saw it in 1989! Amazing and STUNNING!
He should get a replica of the 89 costume as well.

That batmobile is truly badass, and the most iconic version of Batman’s ride of all time! It’s amazing what this man and his grandfather were able to achieve and what he’s doing to help kids around the world. If I could build any street legal version of any batmobile, it would be the Tumbler! I know it’s not as sleek as any other, but something about it just makes me love it out of all others!
he needs to display that number plate, you know, just in case someone confuses it with another batmobile on the road...
God bless you for helping these children!!!!!

Great job by you and your grandfather! Especially you helping the kids out. Priceless!!!
the Best Batmobile ever seen in All of the Batman films is being driven by a man who is truly worthy of being called a Hero... a Spectacular Car and an Incredible Man!
Holy shiet. I had that car as a hotwheel as a kid. Nostalgia hits hard with this one.
Amazing job. By far the best batmobile in the history of batmobile
Dude, fellow Aussie here, that was just so awesome & what would we not achieve if not for super Grandfathers, I built a sized down model of a working steam engine with one of mine. Good for you doing the charity work, sometimes a little fantasy can go a long way in a life of tragedy, cheers Brother.
This is awesome and really great of the guy for dedicating his time for those poor kids. Great guy and badass car. It's really amazing
i actually love this guy he has such a pure soul
Great to see it being put to good use for the kids...what a nice fella
I have no idea how this is even done. Insane talent
I love the shot of him and his dad roasting marshmallows from the afterburner
Sweeeet! I had always loved this version of the BatMobile next to the one for the Dark Knight series. And actually street legal too? How cool is that that? And also using it for forces of good, big thumb's up to you. 😀
Definitely a superhero! God bless you sir.
Great respect man . It's takes a great deal of self control and to turn down big bucks just for putting smile on children's faces
Bloody awesome mate, from car build to helping those kids far less fortunate!🤜🏻😎👍🏼
It's simple. We chase the batman in a news helicopter.
This version is even BETTER. I always hated the giant nipple sticking out the turbine on the original. This one is smaller and the turbine is ACTUALLY turning. Great work!
He got no gun, no bomb.. and still he is a hero.
Brilliant! A true hero. Keep up the good work, young man.
This is so awesome, I'm shocked that there are even thumbs down for this video. it deserves a billion 👍
He and His grandfather are true heroes especially when he uses it for make a wish.
I know I’m like 8 years late, but what an incredible man!

Exceta PROframe Casey Putsch’s batmobile is the one you’re thinking of. I really like that one too especially because the jet turbo shaft and how it runs and drives on it rather than having a combustion engine and a jet just for show. That is what makes his example so cool. Regardless both Casey’s and this batmobile are so incredibly cool and huge respect for building them.
As someone who has entertained the beautiful children for make a wish events can say it's awesome to bring some form of happiness to these Great kids !!! Well done sir massive respect for your effort, Time and sacrifices to make it happen Job well Done and bravo.
Glad this guy created something so cool and is helping brighten the lives of children. God bless
If he’s in the 89 car, then he could at least dress up as the 89 Batman
I’ve actually been inside of a Batmobile but I was like five so I like remember nothing from that day all I remember was that it wasn’t the tumbler but it was cool to be inside.
This guy is amazing.He has such a talente to make this car so authentical to original from the movie.And has a huge heart to make children and people such a happy.
That's what you do with it. You are a REAL LIFE HERO!!! Batman is just a comic book character but you sir are the real deal.
That's just great .... Keep up the great work mate..... "THE BATMAN"
An Aussie accent "Good Day, Am BATMAN!"
We have to admire his passion and dedication. The ultimate #1 fan. Hats of mate.
Don't know what's cooler, that car, or the fact he's actually letting sick kids and members of the public enjoy it. Cool dude.
The suit looks legit too it’s badass! Good job mate!
The 1989 Batmobile is the best one IMO. Also, that Batman Begins costume is an odd choice, but cool nonetheless. GRAT WORK!
Thisis what you call a man with a big Heart a true BATMAN
I wish we could've seen the interior, dashboard, etc. I love that batmobile model!

This is super amazing!! Luv it!! The fact tht u choose to build the 89 version makes it even better. I luv that model the most amng all the batman movies.

Zac Mihajlovic's Batmobile was made from some of the parts (including the working afterburner) from the original 1989 "Batman" film starring Keaton and Nicholson... Jeff Dunham's Batmobile was made for the 1992 "Batman Returns" film starring Keaton and deVito... Casey Putsch's jet powered Batmobile is a replica of the 1989 Batmobile. And lets face it, I don't know many countries that would allow a jet powered car to be street legal. Jeff's Batmobile cost over US $500,000 and sits in his garage. Casey's Batmobile was put up for sale on eBay for a cool US $680,000 Zac takes sick kids for rides in his Batmobile. Lets remember that Zac is no multimillionaire, and he can't get the best mechanics money can buy. But he does have his grandfather.
