Been inspired by a lot of the Bratz Batmobile customs I've been seeing, wanted to make my own Super Powers-like Batmobile. Found a Speed Racer Mach 5 "real sounds" by Hot Wheels on clearance at Dollar General for $6 (!) and spray painted it navy, then masked it, painted it black and white for the bat-mask. Used decoupage symbols for the doors and console. The console includes a REAL map of Gotham City, as well as some targeting computer stuff and Star-Trek like "Sliders". Lastly, I added an "action feature" by adding a launcher behind Robin (duck, Robin!) culled from a Titanium man figure. And I wrote a song:
The Batmobile Song (sung to the tune of "Speed Racer")
Here he comes
Here comes the Batman
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone
He's so much cooler than that lousy Man-of-Steel,
He's busy revvin' up his sexy Batmobile.
And when the odds are against him
And there's da-ngerous work (to do)
You bet your life the Batman
Will see it through.
Light the Sig-nal,
Down the Bat-Poles,
Caped Cru-sa-der, Go!
He's off and flyin' as he tracks down crooks in Gotham's streets
"The Godd@amn Batman!" shouts those punk who know they are dead-meat
Their jail time's comin' just aheaaaaad!
Light the Sig-nal!
Off to Ark-ham!
Caped Cru-sa-der, Go!
MS: Thanks! The DCUC's fit just fine ---- but you have to alter the car a bit more than what I described.
I forgot to say that I split the car open (top/bottom) and removed the driver's seat completely (Batman
is a big dude). Also removed two black "sidewalls" that curve inwards -- think inner door panels. You
don't really miss 'em. After that, any DCUC fits fine in the driver's seat. I left the seat installed for the
passenger, as Robin is a bit smaller and needs a "booster" (chuckle).
