Apr 28 2009Man Builds Batmobile From Batman Forever
Sculptor Bob Causey went and built himself a replica of the Batmobile from Batman Forever. That's all the information I have except it drives and has a complete interior. Also, Batman Forever came out in 1995. So remember kids: never give up on your dreams, it's better 14 years late than never. Or is it? It isn't. I would have turned that shit into a hotdog cart by '98.
Hit the jump for several more pictures and a video of the retracting cockpit top.

Thanks to OJ and Tim, who built a replica of the Batplane but accidentally crashed into the ocean because Tim thought he saw a mermaid.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadows are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene ion the movie Never Back Down where Max started a spare tire mounting business, and was grossed out when fat ladies thought it was a male prostitute joint.

Looks like it's made out of plastic. Piece of sh*t.

Nice job. I couldn't make that myself. Again... I could not make that myself.
Sweet ass ride.

14. radlad - April 28, 2009 11:47 PM
Wow, he built the lamest of all the batmobiles. Does he wear a batsuit with nipples when he drives it?

18. catch22 - April 29, 2009 1:13 AM
of all the batmobiles....WHY this one
the animated series had the best looking one
the 1989 would be my second pick

I'm usually a very forgiving person, but Daisy, I hope you ****ng die a slow and painful death, you're a piece of ****.
What the **** is with the ****ing filters. Way to pander, this site ****ing fails.

The real batmobile runs on wads of bills, not cheap gas.

That's what I was thinking. Out of all the Batmobiles he could build he chose the *koff* most gender-bending one.
Kudos for the effort, but, uhm...

whys there a lizard running around on mmy screen?

side note - I think the nipples on the batsuit were great!
29. Leonidas - April 29, 2009 10:09 AM
Batman Forever is one of my favorites (certainly a whole lot better than any of the Michael Keaton / George Clooney ones). Maybe it's just the way they used that Seal song *wipes tear from eye*

I agree with Catch-22, the best batmobile is from the animated series, tho it looks quite phallic, but I guess all of them do.
On on the bright side, if it'll get Dr.Chase Meridian in the cock...pit then all the more power to him.
The combination of the batmobile and batman forever soundtrack is a very potent aphrodisiac.
Nerds Away!

Should have made the one from Batman Returns. Way cooler and less Val Kilmer tainted.

For the person who said this is a complete fake- you are mistaken. I personally know Bob and my boyfriend helped him do the paint and body work. I don't know much about cars but my boyfriend does and the batmobile runs as good as it looks. He has $250,000 invested into it and everything is custom made. It is up for the Riddler Award at the Detroit Autorama. So eat a dick, haters.

Well, for those of you who are unbelievers or saying that this is a photoshop job or a fake-- Its probably cause you are jealous that someone was able to do what you only dream of doing. I know for a fact that this is real and runs and is fantastic cause I worked on it in the very garage you see it in. There will always be those who doubt--but I assure you --this is for real.
