Man, I love that video!!! I don't really give two ____s if its satin, matte or whatever. The vehicle itself looks badass and nothing jumps out to me as being inherently wrong on it.
Ok, who's photoshopping the nose of the car to look that short in the overhead photo, c'mon, show yourself![]()
I don't recall any personal attacks. But if it prevents you from becoming any more of a drama queen, I'll stop.![]()
I wish someone would stick the Joker, or another 1/6 right next to it. You can kind of get a sense of size from the video... but a picture would be nice.
Wonder if we will see Batman this show or not... I'm hoping he was held back for a end of the show debut![]()
Look good enough to me and that's all that matters. I'm not gonna go lock myself in the closet, knees to chin, crying about the existential risk because the dash has an extra button or the wings are 2 degrees less curved than the actual prop.![]()
I still do this everytime I remember that I cancelled my Tumbler preorder![]()

No,I ve got the whole measurement thing wrong have nt I?12"= 6ft so 19 feet would translate to 36 inches and 8 foot would be a little wider than a 12" figure so maybe...17/18 inches?
Sorry about that!
I think a lot of people get confused about the true colors of things due to studio lighting conditions. I remember when my step-brother was insisting that the Keaton Batman suits were actually gray, when that was actually just a result of the way black foam latex reflects light. I've seen the suits and Batmobiles in person multiple times, and the Keaton Batmobile definitely is not gunmetal; it looks closest to a black satin finish. There are a couple weird nuances though...
EDIT: From one of the Hot Wheels guys- "The blue and green metallics were mixed into the last few coats of semi-gloss black. We were able to duplicate this finish on the Hot Wheels Batmobile prototypes but it just looked weird in the daylight. Like someone else mentioned the black looked grey except in certain highlights. Mixing a green/blue pearl into a semi-gloss clear also will look incorrect. In the end WB only approved our semi-gloss black paint that ended up on the 1/18 scale diecast car. Although to get the black to look screen correct i would add a tiny amount of gunmetal pearl into the black to give it that slight metallic sheen. Finish it off with a clear semi-gloss coat."
