Batpod 1976

[RSS]

Imagine how different a movie the Dark Knight might have been if Christian Bale had emerged from the Batmobile riding this. I wonder if he'd put on the batsuit and ride this for me?

That is neat !!!

Is the back wheel fake and is actually above the ground ?

^^ Looks like it is Mike

Man, I would've loved that as a kid. Hell, I would love to have one even now

[UnderdogDJLSW]

As a kid I would have loved something like this, except for the image of Batman's head at the front. It always bothered me when they would have stickers or images of Batman on the vehicles rather than leaving them blank. I always thought "Batman wouldn't have pictures of his name stuck all over the place on the "real" batmobile.

Actually, the front sort of looks like Batman has been frozen in carbonite

I would have loved this! I could see my little pigtailed self, pedaling all over the place going "Nanananananananana Batman!"

Needs a few more Bat symbols.

I have this! I had one as a kid, and wore that thing out. Found one on the 'bay a few years back. Yes the back wheel is fake. But it's still totally awesome. Went great with the corresponding Batmobile Empire made (Brian has featured a catalog page with it before).

My "new" one didn't have the original wheels and was missing some stickers, but I still love it.

This pic is from a few years ago. Bale is too busy tooling around in his "tumbler" to ride the pod.

Spiegel's had these? I wonder why my mom didn't get me one? She was nuts about that place. Have to ask her next time I see her.

[Meule]

Chris, what an awesome pic. That Batmobile is also cool

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

That's really cute, I know my nephew would go sick if he saw that.

[EmergencyIan]

I had one of those, too! I think it got a good amount of use.

My youngest sister had the Hulk cycle in green and purple if memory serves correctly. Otherwise the zakt same bike.

It's cool, but they should have put more Bat symbols on it.

I drooled overthese in the Sears catalogs for many an hour, back in the day.
