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 Snyderโs Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as well as David Ayerโs Suicide Squad. And as it so happens, it lacked proper registration and โdid 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 isnโt an ordinary car. It drew attention from authorities almost immediately.
Where it gets slightly hinky, however, is the statement Moscowโs Ministry of the Interior gave regarding this whole incident. A statement claiming how the vehicle was inspected with โโฆ special technical measuring instrumentsโฆโ to find the dimensions in โโฆ excess of permissible normsโฆโ. Only in Russia.
The Batmobileโs owner was obviously MIA. And to get the keys of his pimped out ride back, theyโll 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 vehicleโs value โ no GoFundMe pages necessary here.
