Batman vs Joker

Batman Tumbler versus Joker Mobile Monster Trucks.
For some reason there are a lot of Monster Truck Hot Wheels and many of them are Batman related.
Just as The Joker has tried to take over surfing, and maybe drag racing, he could go after Monster Truck fans.
So a Tumbler with a Joker car makes some sense.
The paint job is pretty well done for a crazy Joker character.  
From a distance it could be almost anyone.
Nice front end.

Hot Rod, 66 and Tumbler

The black and blue & gold version of the Batman drag racer car.
My plan is to use them both as cars to compete against super Villains who might try and take over the drag racing circuit.
The standard 66 Batmobile.
I did a little extra detail painting.
See here how small the black Tumbler is compared to the Batmobile; the Tumbler should be larger.

Batmobile Drag Racer

This is the Batman Hot Rod.
It has come in several color schemes and materials.
I think it is a Hot Wheels original and not connected to any specific movie, TV show, cartoon, or animated series, but I am not certain.
Just as Joker tried to take over the surfing culture and Batman had to intervene, I think it reasonable to thing that Joker or some other Villain might try to influence the drag racing world.
So this is a good vehicle for Batman to use to stop that from happening.  I like the bat motif on the front axle between the wheels.
The cowl cockpit and stylized cape are pretty cool too I think.
Gold rear end jet engine.

Tumbler

The Tumber is a Batman vehicle that was invented by Wayne Enterprises and was used in the Dark Knight Trilogy by both Batman and villains.

 

The camouflage version is the original military prototype edition and three were stolen by villains and used against the citizens of Gotham City. 

These seem very common in stores near my home.
The black one started life as a camouflaged prototype but was repainted into black and used by Batman to fight crime in Gotham city.
In the movie the vehicle is very large but the Hot Wheels version is underscale.
I have two black ones and a couple of the camouflage ones but it is not my favorite Batmobile by far and being undersized I am even less enthusiastic about it.
