Or perhaps it was the ultimate jet exhaust, which flamed like a dragon as the caped crusaders raced out of the Bat Cave.

Whatever the reasons, the original Batmobile remains one of the most revered cars in America. And now the Batmobile -- yes the very same one used on the 1960s Adam West TV show -- is among the more than 1,400 cars expected to be auctioned off at the the 42nd annual Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale event this weekend.

The price: up to $5 million.

Jackson said that all other batmobiles were fiberglass copies made from this original.

"This is the real deal," he said.
Barrett Jackson will be auctioning off the car Saturday. Jackson said that the car is likely to sell for $4 million or more and could easily top $5 million. He said the most likely buyer is "an institution" - perhaps a museum or movie company linked to the Batman franchise.

"It's one of those wild cards, since we really don't know what it could sell for," he said.

My god i want that car!

is batman bold and the brave actually worth watching? it is on netflix, and i am having a hard time sitting through some episodes. is it all team ups and random stories? or does it all come together somehow?

people seem to love it for some reason.

MasterChief117 · 04-04-2013, 12:07 AM

I personally, do not like Brave and the Bold. One episode is worth watching, but the rest is RIDICULOUS. This has nothing to do with the fact that it is a 'lighter' Batman, as I do enjoy the 60s Batman. It's just...annoying?

Watch Justice League Unlimited instead.

Henri Ducard · 04-04-2013, 12:24 AM

Brave and the Bold is a throwback to the Batman of the '50s and '60s. I don't like it either but I understand the appeal. It's a break from the dark Batman.

Doomsday · 04-04-2013, 12:28 AM

You mean... the good Batman?

Henri Ducard · 04-04-2013, 12:31 AM

I guess you can put it that way.

FranklinTard · 04-04-2013, 11:27 AM

Tim Burton/Chris Nolan Batman marathon on ABC Family. So FINALLY someone is listening to me. Honor both interpretations. Let there be peace & harmony in the fandom!

Heh. ABC family.

You guys get ABC Family in Canada? And I love that their idea of back-to-back Batman is "Batman Returns" and "Batman Begins." What an awesome double feature.

PG Cooper · 04-24-2013, 05:59 PM

I don't know if we do or don't, I just find that video hilarious.

Neverending · 04-24-2013, 06:07 PM

Which American channels do you guys get?

Wyldstaar · 04-24-2013, 06:57 PM

As bad as the ABC Family trailer is, it could have been so much worse...

That's awesome. It's better than Dark Knight Rises.

ABC Family didn't do a good job of selling Batman Begins, but this Greek network sure did

Just bought the Batman 89 blu ray on Amazon for $10. It's an OOP title and usually saw it for $20+. Maybe it's just on sale or something but if you have a couple bucks you should pick it up before the price jumps again.
