If Batman (and thus, the Batmobile) were Japanese

That is.... so ridiculous it boggles the mind.
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

Horryd - Myriam - Dysquiet - Ghyr

Inflyct - Mysron - Orphyn - Dysmay - Reapyr - - Wyldeman - Hydeous
What? No video of it transforming into mecha mode?

For some odd reason I can't stop thinking of Rodimus Prime when I see this.

I think it needs more tailights and fins.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!
Somebody spent money on that!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
Fuel-efficancy be damned.
Rook at Lobin on the hood!
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!
That is pure awesome.
I can now picture Batman waving a wand and yelling "Baaaatt.... scepterrrrrrr..... eliminationnnnnnnnn!!!!"

... that looks like something Jeremy Clarkson would do if he were given the okay to design a new batmobile.
He'd take a ford transit body, put it on a Jaguard XJ220, then add on lots of fiddly bits and fins, then call it a day.
There's a whole subculture for these kinds of vehicles in Japan. That thing is a typical example of what they do.

I have a picture of my own.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Hyperstrike, /agree.
However, I do have one comment on the original... where are the fins? I can barely SEE them!

I'm just sad that the giant yellow pincers in the front are decorative only.
In my imagination, they're clomping together viciously while the car remotely chases down whatever crooks have made the mistake of running down the street.

There is so much going on that I find I have a hard time focusing on the vehicle.
It looks like a minivan was dropped on top of a Cadillac so hard that the two fused together. Then it was painted bright purple. Why was it painted bright purple?
That thing is about as non-functioning as it gets. It's way too big to maneuver through city streets with any ease. It is all just so...dumb.

That's what the Turtles get for asking Batman to upgrade their van.

No DOOM today, DOOM tomorrow. There's always a DOOM tomorrow.

But does the miniature one have an even more miniature one?
If you didn't notice the link from where those pictures first came from, here. More winged vans. And I thought Dekotora was funky.

wow, that is the complete opposite of what I was expecting
With all the purple, it looks more like a Joker version of the Batmobile.

I can handle the fins and the mini-mobile. I can imagine a really campy pirated variation of Batman in which he drives a car with a picture of himself on the hood. I can even handle the color scheme. But I do wonder ... why does it look like a giant, red leech has attached itself to Catwoman's neck on the hood there?

I'm pretty sure that's Batgirl, and the "leech" is her red hair.

I like the additional article linked with more pictures where the guy mislabels a very blatant One Piece van.

BEHOLD!
(Yes, it boasts a miniature version of itself, in case of Bat-emergencies)
