Batmobile on Sale for $620,000 on eBay (Video)
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/batmobile-sale-620000-ebay-video-230412

Attention, Bruce Wayne fans: The Batmobile can be yours for only $620,000.

The vehicle, a replica of the car driven by Michael Keaton in Tim Burton's 1989 movie Batman, is being offered on eBay by Casey Putsch of Putsch Racing, who is touting it as the "world's only turbine-powered bat car."

Putsch says the car, built this year, features 365-horsepower Boeing turboshaft engine and a centrally mounted touch-screen iPad with 3G and is able to run on jet, kerosene or diesel fuel.

Putsch adds that the car was built in a professional racing facility alongside Grand Prix, DTM, Indy and Sports Racing cars.

1. People with too damned much money on their hands
This is why we need to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans. It's absolutely disgusting watching people throw their money away on frivolous material possessions like this when there are people in this country wondering where their next meal will come from, or where they'll lay their head at night.

2. I do not even like that car.
I still prefer the 1966 version.

5. Hated the most recent Batmobile
At first. Once I saw it in action, I was like Lt. Gordon: "I have got to get one of those!"

3. Too noisy.
So loud, you couldn't even hear the Nana Nana Nana Nana, Nana Nana Nana Na Baaatmaaan! music in your head while you were driving it.

4. Why the hell would I want a REPLICA Batmobile?
For $620,000, I want the car to be delivered by Batman. I don't care WHICH Batman--it could be Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney or Christian Bale--but one of 'em is going to deliver it. And it better have appeared on film.
