A few people were impressed with the Batman Begins replica Tumbler we featured a few days ago. Some fans however are a bit more nostalgic and prefer the original movie Batman played by Michael Keaton. Such is the case with one Batman enthusiast who is selling one of the original 5 movie Batmobile’s on eBay. Granted, it’s not quite as cool as building your own, but just think of what the neighbors will say when you come pulling into the driveway.

Na na na na na na na na na na BATMAN. That is what your neighbors will say when you pull into the driveway. How many people do you know that have a Ferrari, a Mercedes, a Lamborghini, or a Corvette? My guess would be there is at least one of these in your neighborhood. Now how many Batmobiles are in your neighborhood? None, because there were only a total of 5 of these cars made.

Here it is one of 5 cars that could have been in the “Batman” movie staring Micheal Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Five cars were built for the movie and this car is the number five car. Being that this car originally was owned by Warner Bros productions it is important to note that the buyer will have to sign a contract with Warner Bros. If you would like to know more about this contact me and I will give you all the details.

The car is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. The chassis is custom built and the motor is a Chevrolet 350. There are no doors. To get in you have to be able to enter through the top where the canopy slides opens, just like in the movie. There is no title to this car and will only be sold with a bill of sale.

Batmobile 5 has been sitting in the “Batcave” for almost five years now, and it is time for another Batman enthusiast to enjoy her as much as I have.

I really wish I had the time, the freaking mad skills, the money and the patience to build something like this. I must confess though, I’ve no clue what I would build, probably hire someone like Grant Hodgson to build it for me but it would still be cool.

Beginning in 2006, Aussie superhero Grant Hodgson started off with a dream, a dream of being the Batman, and he’s been building a faithful replica of the Tumbler ever since.

Set to release in September the latest LEGO themed video game features the caped crusader teaming up with Robin to fight off the entire Rogue’s Gallery of evil doers. LEGO Batman does add a new twist as far as LEGO games go that allows the player to switch to Villan Mode and cause insane amounts of chaos instead of protecting the citizens of Gotham City.

I’m so freaking jealous I just don’t know what to do with myself because I gotta wait (along with the rest of you) until the middle of July to go see the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight. Ever since that first glimpse trailer came out months ago, I’ve been waiting. Now here’s some SOB that’s managed to get an advanced viewing. It’s pretty spoiler free so it shouldn’t ruin too much for you, couple of juicy tidbits in there though to watch out for, but over all it just makes me wanna see this movie that much more.

Heath Ledgers performance of the joker is truly one for the books. A man of no remorse or morals who simply wants to see things burn. There is no back story or establishing the character. He is fully formed. He does have some dialogue scenes that reveal a bit of his background. Lets just say he has some issues with his father and that smile of his is rooted in a gesture of love. He is far from a caricature and has depth . He realises that without Batman he would not be. The Joker is almost more of a terrorist than criminal. He is not motivated by money. He wants to see people suffer. Its a damn shame that this was Heath Ledger’s final major performance as it shows a whole different side to him as a performer

While not on the scale of the LEGO Aircraft Carrier, this model is still pretty neat. It’s a replica of the Batmobile, called The Tumbler, from the last Batman movie (Batman Begins). It’s pretty neat, check out the images below.
