Batmobile Nosedives at Auction

Finally, the hype surrounding the auction of 1995 Batman Forever Batmobile comes to an end. And let me add that the end was not a pleasant one, as the Batmobile was sold for less than half the reserve price. The highly-revered Batmobile was sold last week at the Al Wiseman Collection through RM Auctions. The auctioneers were quiet confident and estimated the lot to sell for anything between $600,000 to $800,000, but their calculations failed miserably and the Batmobile was sold at a meagre price of $297,000.

Batman may have a pretty cool basement, but can he watch movies in it? Pow! Let the Caped Crusader take the Batmobile to the drive-in; this homeowner is putting his basement to good tech use.

Since the homeowner is a Batman fan, complete with an array of collectible figurines from the series, the installer suggested using his interest as a theme. The homeowner loved the idea.

It’s hard to believe that this space had suffered some damage, due to previous flooding. However, the size and ability to control sound and ambient light made this fortress of solitude the perfect theater spot.
