| Should it be legal to build Batmobiles? The final decision on that: no. Gotham Garage reportedly only built two of them before the hammer came down. The Batmobile you see before you is an extraordinarily detailed replica, captured on pixels by a TTAC reader in Franklin, TN. But after reviewing pictures of the Gotham Garage Batmobiles, I'm not sure it's one of them. Check the photos and tell me what you think. One of my most (or least, depending on how you look at it) loyal readers saw this Batmobile outside a hair salon in Franklin, TN. Comparing it to this image of the Gotham Batmobile shows a few discrepancies, most notably in the reflectors and the shape of the spear on the nose. I'm hoping TTACers are slightly more eagle-eyed than I am and can make a determination for me. It's entirely possible that there's another Batmobile builder out there who's had the sense to stay under Warner Bros' radar, perhaps only working with known people in the crazy-replica-movie-car "community". Who knows? Let me know what you think. In the meantime, if you see any Batmobiles on the street, feel free to ask the owners where they got 'em. Who knows? They might even tell you the truth.
