August 1965, the Batman TV show Producers approached George Barris of Barris Kustom Cars to have him build a new Batmobile for their new upcoming show. The only catch was the car had to be ready for action in a mere three weeks! Seeing the bat-like qualities of his Ford Futura concept car already had, George felt it was the perfect answer to the quandary 20th Century Fox had created. Three weeks later, in October of 1965, the Batmobile was born and television history was made.

 Good looking but...

...it is made of plastic and it doesnt have the same feel of quality that the hotwheels batmobile of the 1989 movie had, great details and beautiful to look at but why isnt it metal and why dont the boot and bonnet open? plus this car was loaded with gadgets in the show, surely they could have incorporated a few. Hotwheels just like my school report, Good but can do BETTER!!!

 very disappointed

Looks cheap. The bonnet or boot do not open. Looks & feels like cheap plastic. I have quite a collection of Batman stuff & this is the worst thing I have ever bought. Glad I didn't pay the original price for it!!

 FANTASTIC!!

Well not sure which Batmobile Nindiana was looking at but it's certainly not this one! Where's the plastic? This model is solid heavy metal & the whole thing is beautifully detailed. so what if the hood & boot don't lift. Who needs to see the Bat car jack & the spare bat wheel! ( Then again...)
This is lookin great on my coffee table!

 A superb replica of an iconic vehicle

I think the reviewer Bigcheese64 must be reviewing a different model than this one. Cheap and plastic is the last thing this car looks or feels. It is a stunning replica, solid, well made and incredibly detailed. It always attracts attention from visitors to my house many of whom have asked where they can get hold of on one. Buy with confidence!

 Classic

This batmobile for me is the classic of all the batmobiles. The memories came flooding back when i got this model. Even though it's black, it brightens up my collection with it's red trim.

This car must have been a real pig to drive. But thats not the point this car is pure fantasy and promise of a better future.

As a model it is detailed and reasonable sturdy for what is a display model. Ok boot and bonnet don't open, but now with the price dropping i think this is worth a look for any toy or batman collector.

Looks goos, and is good. Buy it as a memory or you child hood or as a seed for your childs memory, they will never forget this model.
