This is a pretty weird kit. It's supposed to be the Furst/Keaton Batmobile with the fenders and fins jettisoned. It was pretty much a one-line gag from "Batman Returns", Tim Burton's second, and last Batman movie. But the very existence of the kit makes it odd. And I am attracted to odd!

It's a "SnapFast" kit with the parts molded in black plastic and includes a tree of chromed parts and one "smoke tinted" windshield. The windshield looked pretty opaque to me. The parts fit is actually very good with minimal flash, and there was very little in the way of ejector pin marks so there is very little clean-up to be done.

As far as accuracy, I can't really vouche for anything, seeing as I can't even find a picture of it! As I've said, It's supposed to be the Batmobile with the fenders and fins jettisoned and the wheels brought into an "in-line" configuration. Looking at the kit, quite a few liberties were taken to make everything fit. The driver's compartment only has a driver's seat, whereas the Batmobile is a 2-seater. The entire right side of the dashboard is missing. Oh well, most Tim Burton movies demand a certain amount of suspension of disbelief, and this kit follows suit.

With logic and reason locked safely away, I can look at this model and I can say that it's pretty good looking. Forget that it makes no sense, that if Robin was sitting in the passenger seat, he would look like he went through and industrial shirt folder (he didn't show up until the Schumacher movies anyway) forget that it can only go in a straight line and that it's massively phallic looking. It just looks cool and, therefore, will be built!
