This US$850,000 Real-Life Batmobile Has Been Impounded By Police

A key doctrine of the law is that no one is above it โ€“ not even The Dark Knight himself. Nor whoever has been roleplaying as The Dark Knight, with reports that a real-life Batmobile valued at approximately US$850,000 has just been impounded by Moscow police. 

This replica Batmobile was apparently featured in both Zack Snyderโ€™s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as well as David Ayerโ€™s Suicide Squad. And as it so happens, it lacked proper registration and โ€œdid not meet road safety regulationsโ€. Hence the lock and tow job.

Now any ordinary car might have gotten away with it. But it goes without saying that this real-life Batmobile isnโ€™t an ordinary car. It drew attention from authorities almost immediately. 

Where it gets slightly hinky, however, is the statement Moscowโ€™s Ministry of the Interior gave regarding this whole incident. A statement claiming how the vehicle was inspected with โ€œโ€ฆ special technical measuring instrumentsโ€ฆโ€ to find the dimensions in โ€œโ€ฆ excess of permissible normsโ€ฆโ€. Only in Russia.

The Batmobileโ€™s owner was obviously MIA. And to get the keys of his pimped out ride back, theyโ€™ll have to pony up US$780 for the tow truck company and US$35 for every day it spends at the impound lot. Literally pocket change in comparison to the vehicleโ€™s value โ€“ no GoFundMe pages necessary here.

Check out the video of the Batmobile getting towed below.
