- inspecality, on 12/10/2007, -1/+107$300,000 car with real-life DRM
- dlrudden, on 12/10/2007, -2/+66Wow. I wonder how much the Batmoblie from one of the good Batman movies would fetch.
- Crimsoneer, on 12/10/2007, -0/+54I want the Batman Begins tank.
- a1532b, on 12/10/2007, -0/+43I can hardly believe the contract the guy had to sign! After reading that, it hardly seems like he owns it...
If i paid almost 300k for the batmobile I'll drive it wherever the hell I wanted. I mean...it's the BATMOBILE! How would they catch me? :D - acdcfanbill, on 12/10/2007, -0/+39Can you really call it a sale if you can still dictate what the 'buyer' can do after he pays you, it looks more like a software license.
- Lane, on 12/10/2007, -1/+30it doesn't seem to restrict racing the batmobile! clearly that qualifies as mantinance in my books. I bet it sucks on corners though. I don't really blame WB for not wanting it on public roads. I can barely imagine the bad publicity someone crashing the frekin batmobile.
- insomniac8400, on 12/10/2007, -0/+28Maybe the guy who bought it was about to move out of the US. That way he can say F.U. to Warners Brothers and their stupid contract.
- omgroffles, on 12/10/2007, -0/+23The fact that it's the Batmobile from Batman Forever makes it not worth it
- hydriplex, on 12/10/2007, -1/+21That's more than the movie made!
- schroeder, on 12/10/2007, -3/+214. It's ugly as hell.
- campbe79, on 12/10/2007, -0/+18Turn signals.
Brake lights.
Disabling the grapling hook.
and probably more. - billbillbilly, on 12/10/2007, -0/+15with no drm
- PsycoMonkey, on 12/10/2007, -0/+14Pfft it's not like they will be keeping tabs on the guy 24/7, I would drive it everywhere.
- Aeric, on 12/10/2007, -0/+14correction... he has the ugliest batmobile in history.
- Steelhound, on 12/10/2007, -0/+13why bother selling it and why bother buying it. ugh.
- UObean, on 12/10/2007, -0/+13The guy doesn't even really own it. He's essentially leasing the thing from warner. If he wants to sell it to someone else he has to ask for WB's approval. What a crap deal.
- banmaster, on 12/10/2007, -0/+12I still can't believe how ***** retarded that stupidly long tail-fin looks!
- f4nt0m4s, on 12/10/2007, -1/+11I never realized how lame the Batman Forever Batmobile is until watching Batman Begins.
- shahruz84, on 12/17/2008, -0/+9"this isn’t the actual car which was used during the movie filming, but a promotional vehicle, used only for promotional tours"... that makes it not worth it.
- fishbert, on 12/10/2007, -0/+9The batmobile from the 1989 movie remains the best in my book.
http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds ... - inactive, on 12/10/2007, -0/+9Oh, poor Batman. His Batmobile from Batman Forever fetched less than half its reserve price on eBay after Warner Bros put it up for auction.
- fragile00, on 12/10/2007, -0/+8Still waiting on the Tumbler...
- campbe79, on 12/10/2007, -1/+9Yeah, cause it won't make the news.
"News at 11, the Batmobile was seen driving on the 101 freeway this morning." - HappyDonut, on 12/10/2007, -6/+14"1. It was never used during filming, only for promotion; 2. It costs a lot! 3. The guy isn't even allowed to drive it on public roads."
FFS WHO GIVES A *****? HE HAS THE BATMOBILE.
I wonder how many mpgs it fetches. - JointheArmy, on 12/10/2007, -0/+7Getting technical here -- what would make the Batmobile street legal?
- antdude, on 12/10/2007, -2/+9But Drew Carey drove in public: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk7BZNj7rr8
[grin] - jongos, on 12/10/2007, -0/+7That wasn't even a good looking batmobile. What a waste.
- victorh86, on 12/10/2007, -0/+7so the guy paid to NOT own the batmobile. warner bros actually got some guy to pay them to take their trash away while at the same time owning the rights to the damn thing. genius.
- Victoriousecret, on 12/10/2007, -0/+64. Its the most hideous Batmobile ever created
- terracottapai, on 12/10/2007, -0/+6Well, how much would it cost to make a car that looks like the Batmobile?
I mean, if you have that much money to blow on a car, you probably aren't going to miss it, so 'bad deal' to us is probably more like a week's salary for this dude and he doesn't care. - obviouslyshane, on 12/10/2007, -2/+8I know a guy whos building one... Seriously...
- 56samba, on 12/10/2007, -0/+6You know Batman???
- legsthebass, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5wasn't this thing originally a prize from taco bell or something like that?
- cheapotheclown, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5"I wonder how many mpgs it fetches."
guess he'll never find out - PunkRockGeoff, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5I can understand them not wanting the new owner to get paid to pimp the opening of "Mo's Tires" or "Skippy's Adult Video and QuikLube," or have it driven around town plastered with ads. On the same token, the contract is ridiculous. They should destroy it rather than sell it with that contract.. Then again the buyer is an idiot. FU, if I'm buying the batmoile, I'm going to drive it around.
- otatop, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5Holy *****, it's Ted from Scrubs!
- inspecality, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5theatricality and deception are powerful agents
- SamuraiGhost, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5That thing is probably made out of Papier-mâché.
- Amadeus2490, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5Who else thought of the episode of Drew Carey where he wins the Batmobile?
- s1mph0ny, on 12/10/2007, -0/+4It's probably not possible for WB to enforce their contract. Once you have the title, it's pretty much yours.
- aequitask, on 12/10/2007, -0/+4worst. contract. ever.
- Konrad9, on 12/10/2007, -0/+4Or if you could actually drive it.
- stacky, on 12/10/2007, -1/+5I wonder if there's a rootkit installed.
- fishbert, on 12/10/2007, -0/+4better picture (less shiny)
http://www.cynical-c.com/archives/bloggraphics/kru ... - royalwcheese, on 12/10/2007, -0/+4Val Kilmer and bat nipples.
- DemDude, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3In america, pretty much anything is street legal ^^
Never seen Pimp my Ride? - dwninjungleland, on 12/10/2007, -1/+4but... but... it's the batmobile!!!
- Tyrghast, on 12/10/2007, -1/+4i would never have bought it with that kind of contract... if have a batmobile and im filthy rich, i wanna drive that mofo
- jsams81, on 06/26/2009, -0/+34. its not as cool as the batmobile from batman 1 & 2
- JoshuaH, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3I miss that show.
