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. It was also a great setback for Warner Brothers who were expecting a huge crowd of enthusiasts.
The real reason for this flop show was the hilarious purchase agreement that imposed a long list of restrictions pertaining to the use of the purchased Bat-mobile. Apart from the lesser restrictions, the agreement boldly says that the Bat-mobile cannot be driven anywhere in public. Well, that ends the whole story. The 1995 Batman Forever Bat-mobile is nothing more than a lifesize toy equipped with a Chevrolet V8 engine.
