Fan Made: Drive Like 'The Dark Knight'
Filed under: Action, Fandom, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Images
It's cool to see small replicas, funky cakes, or maybe something knit, but there's just something even cooler when your fan creation needs its own room for storage.
This latest bit of Fan Made comes courtesy of /film's Cool Stuff -- it's a working replica of The Tumbler from both Batman movies. The guy responsible, Bob Dullam, made this thing without blueprints. It was all done with photos found online, piece by piece. I'm beyond impressed. He says, "All parts are scratch built, 'cept tires, rims, brakes, engine, etc.. meaning all body parts brackets, just about everything external on the car." This isn't just a bunch of cardboard tacked onto a car he already had. And now he wants to make the inside look as close as possible to The Tumbler's real inside.
Man, imagine hopping in that thing and driving to the store? It'd be a madhouse. It's sure to make a number of fans go wild, and I bet make a few people teetering on the edge of sanity begin to believe that Batman is real. And do you even need a car alarm for that?

Yeah, I really wonder how theft proof that thing is. It looks impossible to break into, but I don't know. Plus, could you get pulled over for driving that thing? I don't know enough about cars and laws and all that jazz.

Damn Erik, you wanna try and be a bigger buzz kill? That thing is
freaking awesome. I'm sure that the guy isn't planning on taking it
to the store for groceries. And you're telling me that you think
that the owner of it is one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in
the world, who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands...and your plan is to break into his car? Good luck.

Dude, I know, I'm so lame -- but that's the kind of nonsense that pops into my head. I would like to see some video of the dude driving it, though ...
