Batman's Stage Show Batmobile Revealed
When I first read the article I thought this was the new Batmobile for 'The Dark Knight Rises' and was already composing a piece of hate-mail when I realized it's just the Batmobile for the Batman Live World Arena Tour.

Some guy went and built a full-scale functional replica of Batman's Batpod (great linking, GW!) from The Dark Knight and is selling the thing on eBay starting at a cool $100K. I want it. Like, badly. So badly I'm even considering selling an organ. *STAB* One of yours. Th... / Continue →
