Kia Creates Their Own Take On The Batmobile

Please tell me it comes with that external speaker.

Apparently Kia and DC Comics have teamed up to create a line of one-of-a-kind Justice League themed cars, using a different model for each character in the group. This is the Batman car here, built using a Kia Optima SXL. Admittedly, it IS kind of slick looking, I'm just having a little trouble imagining Batman behind the wheel. Get it? Because I bet he always makes Robin drive. LOL, couples.

Hit the jump for a couple more shots.

    This is Redditor Tattoodle's Boba Fett themed BMW motorcycle. Personally I feel like Boba would be more of a Triumph rider, but what do I know? I'm just a dillweed who spends way too much time thinking about shit that doesn't matter. How many jellybeans could fit inside a mo... / Continue →

  • It makes me think someone with no taste really likes Baman!

    ...I'm more of a Piderman fan, myself...

    Wonder if batmans reckless driving voids his 100,000mile warranty.

  • Not really a Batman fan but I'll agree that this is pretty slick looking. Can't wait to see the Superman one, just hope they keep it simple like what they did with this one.

  • Dick: Hey Bruce, can I borrow the Bat Tumbler for a spin around town with Starfire?

    Bruce: No. But you can borrow the Kia.

  • I got a Kia Optima, it rules

  • Jadis

    I wouldn't call it a bat-mobile, but if I saw this driving down the road I'd say it was cool in a cheesy "themed car" kinda way.

  • Maybe if Batman needs to take some kids to soccer practice...

  • JJtoob

    I don't think "themed car" equals "batmobile" or whatever the superhero drives. Sure if it actually was an attempt at a batmobile, this is a failure of gargantuan proportions, but as a themed car, I'd say it's pretty good looking. They'll go through different superheros, including Superman, and he doesn't drive anything (does he? I don't keep up with comics), so his will be also Superman themed, and not a Supermanmobile.

    That's Jim Lee!

  • taran420

    h8ers gonna' h8. This is pretty awesome. Better than a Tumbler? Of course not. But F'in awesome? I think so.

  • Aleem Qureshi

    looks god awful by any standard

  • This car is stupid.

  • What Batman will take this over the Tumbler?

  • Go home Kia, you're drunk

  • Oh look. It's the Prat-mobile.
