Want to buy a Batmobile F150?

I'd like to know the build costs. And how much he thinks he should get for it.

Mmm an extended cab. That looks like its got fins, pin striping, hood scoop, wheels (KMC slides?) and drop, and an ugly *** body kit. What part of that says special batmobile? Seems extremely basic and does nuthin for me! At least the original was an entire new car!

Yeah, coming to a drug cartel near you.

No thanks for me.

It's not an improvement from where I'm looking at it from.

No, you're thinking of the Batmanuel* Mobile

I wonder if this is going to inspire a bunch of copybat builds? Yeah, I couldn't resist the set-up

Seriously though, meh, a bit... uninspiring imo. I suppose there was a limited budget and no chance in Gotham of getting any legit Batman iconography, unlike that Superman Dodge Ram. That is much cooler, pity it's a Dodge. Ford dropped the ball on not being all over that with a custom SuperDuty.

* for those who don't the comic and missed the short lived TV series:
