I really tried to spiff this one up, but it's finish was not glossy like the Barris Batmobile. I saw one of the replica's at our local county fair one year, and it is just a basic black, no shine. But it does look better than the first one I drew and this is my second favorite Batmobile. I want to do one more. I have a model from Polar Lights...a diecast I had to build, of the comic book Batmobile. It is loosely based on the Barris Batmobile, so it was what they were able to put out before all the legal wrangling was settled on the Barris. I'll get to that one next. You won't, however, see a rendering of the urban assault vehicle from the Dark Knight. That was NOT a Batmobile to me. I don't mind the Caped Crusader using that, as long as he has a cool batmobile for transportation. I mean, he doesn't have to drive that to Commissioner Gordon's office. However it would make it easier to park...just roll over the other cars sitting there.
