This is the 1/24 Hot Wheels Elite version. I'd never taken pictures of this one, until yesterday, and I've had it for several years.🤔😊

Gotta come clean here in all sincere honesty. I grew up with 'my TV heroes', Hopalong Cassidy, Lone Ranger & Tonto, Tom Mix, Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. (You notice the common denominator - cowboy westerns) Superman, Spiderman & Batman never filled our screen.

Now having said that, one little boy and young man sees things through osmosis and if it ever had ANYthing to do with automotive likenesses, I paid some amounts of attention to it. THIS is the image most vivid in my mind out the now 17,000 Batcars out there and Hotwheels Elite is the one to do it.

Great pics Pard!

I have the old Corgi Batmobile in my collection and love it.

Geno, 

I know there was a Bat Cave but I wasn’t aware that Batman also had what appears to be a golf course 😂

@100ford2003 Steve, there's a park behind our house, there's a ball diamond on the other side of the fence. In case he wants to "bat" a few balls around.😁

We almost got a Bat Cave diorama from Franklin Mint. Here's a workup proposal by John McBride and George Bojaciuk that fell through when the 4-way licensing for the Batmobile just got too expensive (Warner Brothers, DC Comics, Greenway Productions and George Barris). It would have been pretty cool! Here it is with Adam West:

Batman 006
Batman 012
Batman 022
Batman 018 001
Batman 015

@rich-sufficool Man, that would have been sweet Rich. Too bad it never made it to fruition.😟

+1!

I reckon that would have sold like hotcakes! Dont suppose they ever did a mockup or prototype?

Gee, that looks familiar, yes because I have that issue. Love it. Geno, thanks for the reminder!

George would have loved to do a prototype diorama but it never went any further than this proposal.
