Being a superhero costs a great deal of money, as anyone who has already watched Iron Man can say. But what if you could at least pretend to be Batman, driving around one of his machines? If you want to have that chance, you should have saved at least US$ 500,000, in order to start bidding for the 1989 Batmobile that is currently for sale at eBay.
According to the seller’s information on the car, it is one of the five built to star in the movie “Batman”, from 1989. In fact, this is the car number 5. Since it can’t be registered, and therefore cannot be used as a regular car, it shows only 54 miles in its odometer, most of them surely run in the movie making process. Besides buying the car, the new owner will have to sign some papers with Warner Bros., probably to exempt the studio of any legal liabilities concerning the use of the car.
People that love technical specs will like to know this Batmobile is powered by a Chevrolet V8 small block 350 (5.7-litre) engine, which generated around 230 hp by 1989, what may not be much for a 20 feet (6.1 m) long and 8 feet (2.44 m) wide car, especially considering it seems to be powered by turbine. Got interested? Then make your bid. Currently, there is no record of any offer for the car, but they may soon start to pop up.

yea...its not street legal, u cant take it out for a drive anyway. and if a person has enough money to buy it, then they probably have a couple of porsches for the track.

This car deserves an owner willing to install an actual jet engine into it, road legalize it, and drive it everywhere.

Now, what a serious dreamer would do is to get this car tuned up enough to outrun piles of police cars which would definitely make his/her life complete!
In my opinion, the dreamer no way should get this mobile comfiscated or get his or her face revealed by a medium coz that'd make us disappointed. Of course the action should culminate with a HOLLYWOOD explosion!

ok guy you are taking this way out of picture to much, first of all forget any road rules, if there any cops who are going to pull you over it because you were acting up, and if you are going to do that at least wear a batman or robin costume and tell the cop that you are working, wat cop will actually arrest you for that, probly ask for a pic before even think of giving you a ticket or anything
