Custom 1966 TV Batmobile Spotted at NJ Car Show!

Here’s a cool newspaper clipping sent in by our friend BatDave. It appeared last week in The SandPaper, a very popular weekly publication that highlights various South Jersey Beach communities. Basically it’s about a Car Show that went on in NJ. Once again, a personally customized-replica 1966 Batman TV Batmobile steals the show, this time at a local scholarship fundraiser in Manahawkin, NJ!! I think the girl that wrote this article did a fantastic job. Very insightful bat-observations and you can tell she really did her research!! Be sure to click on it for a large “readable” version. ( Thanks BatDave )

BATMAN-THEMED CAR – 2013 Kia Optima SX Limited Unveiled

Kia Motors just announced the first car, of eight Justice League vehicles that they are creating with comic book publisher DC Comics (DC Entertainment), will be the “BATMAN” Car!

The Korean Batmobile gets a custom front grille shaped like a bat wing.

The exterior will be painted in a mix of matte and piano black paint, and also comes with a coil-over kit, body kit, exhaust system and 20-inch blacked-out wheels with Batman center caps.

Other crazy detailing includes yellow
under-body lighting and a Bat-Signal etched into the HID headlights.
The interior gets black leather-and-suede upholstery with yellow accent stitching, a center console with “utility throwing stars” as well
as a Bat suit for crime-fighting purposes in the trunk.

Kia and DC Entertainment will release customization packages based on other Justice League members in the next few months. Some of the featured superheroes are Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg, and Kia says the Soul, Sorento, Sportage, Rio and Forte will be some of the other cars used for future projects.
