Batman drove the car that was made as the hip toy, the Corgi Batmobile. That car we had to make for it was a show back in New York. And when they come to me, they all were - we were in - at a meeting and they said, well, we want to have this car done for Pontiac, which was John DeLorean. Barris built two fiberglass copies of the original Batmobile for exhibition on the car show circuit and a third for exhibition drag racing . Eventually, the three copies were covered with a black velvet "fuzz" paint, presumably to hide stress cracks in the fiberglass bodies. Barris also took molds of the car to create a number of duplicates to tour the country, which they still do! You may have seen one covered with deep purple flocking - this was to hide the years of stress fractures on these fiberglass copies.
Batman thunders through Gotham City in a high-tech ride that strikes fear into the criminals of the city with its combination of speed and power. Prominently featured in the movie, it includes electronics that bring key scenes to life. Batman seems to be pretty active guy who also likes to play some golf when he is not occupied with chasing for Joker. But, when you are Batman then you have to keep your image and you cannot go to golf fields with usual golf cart.
