This Man is Nuts!
Entrepreneur Paul Garlick brought a touch of Gotham City to an East Yorkshire village this week when his £150,000 custom-built Batmobile made its first public appearance.
The 130mph car is one of just three working models and it stunned passers-by when it was road-tested in Holderness.
The vehicle took 18 months to build, is 6.5m (21ft) long and 2.5m (8ft) wide, and has a fibreglass body moulded from the original used in the 1989 Batman film.
It took 500 man hours to paint and needed 50 tins of body filler, said maker Z Cars. 'It's stunning,' said Mr Garlick, from Cheshire, who plans to cash in on the success of current film, The Dark Knight, with a string of VIP appearances.
P.S. It gets 2 Miles to the Gallon :)

Thats pretty sweet, but I don't think you can get one for your birthday.
Wow! I figured someone would try to build this one day. You'd have to be a millionaire just to afford the gas on this baby! But it's super sweet!
2mpg? Oh well, it's how you look driving it that counts!
Batman... duh duh duh duh Batman... I rode in the original Batman car when I was on my mission. I still like it the best.
I like your Bat symbol pool best.
This is a cool idea though.
Batman is the coolest
The gas mileage alone makes that crazy
If I had the money, I would buy it for you, Nik. That is the kind of love I have for you.
