@newgalactic:

yeah you'd think if you were going to go ahead and put a crotch bulge that pretty much begs to be the center of attention, you'd make it a little more... formidable.

nutbastard

I'm sorry, I couldn't see any car behind the crotch-bulge in the bat suit. Was that put on as an afterthought? It looks like it was attached after initial fabrication. If that's the case, home-boy shouldn't underestimate himself.

newgalactic

Impressive, but how many cup holders?

fogel1492

Goes to show you what one motivated individual can accomplish.

orrin

Okay, I don't remember Batman appearing so... ummm... well-endowed in his costume before.

rentahero1

there are two angels overlooking the Tumbler.

jcrockerman

That is seriously the best thing I have seen in the last 10 minutes. ADD is kicking though so I can't guarantee the next 10.

CubFan81

That.......is the most beautiful thing I've seen all day.

TheSonOfKrypton

"work on a working Batpod, which he's setting his sights on next."
We will miss you after you've died on that thing.

jkr2

I've got the same setup... OK, I've only got a pair of hockey pants.

DustyButt

i cant help but laugh a lil at the penis holder on the bat suit lol...

drmartintsai

god damn...i wants one -_-

drmartintsai

what is his MPG on that thing.

But the real question is, what would you want. This Batmobile, or the Tank that the German Family uses to get groceries.

d4rlp3nc1l

Man should have gone straight up 16th century and added a codpiece.

Commit, or don't go there!

SF_iris

What, you guys haven't seen this yet? Did some Tumbler-Mania-Fueled searching around and found his main website. Didn't know it was a WORKING replica, though. That escalates how much I'd want it ten-fold!

Mr.Wilson

Imagine pulling up to Comic-Con in that thing.

CarrerCrytharis

Actually.. this one just occured to me.. I don't know why.

"Robin! To the Batpole!"...

diverguy

i wonder if the car has cupholders and Aux input for his zune...

Der182

Impressive to be sure.

He might want to invest in some bat-slippers for padding around in his garage...

i_prefer_sasquatch

The Batpackage... it burns!

someToast

@fogel1492: I see one one the Bat Uniform

Canoehead

Well, if Batman can really 'fill out' that suit, Robin must be pretty contented.

Anyway... heck of an achievement with the Tumbler.

diverguy

I'm glad I'm not the only whose eyes darted straight for the crotch knob. That aside amazing work.

He knows the tumbler was destroyed in the Dark Knight, right? Wonder if he'll build a replica of the next version too.

nuclearlove

@d4rlp3nc1l: Batmobile, hands down. Good job, Bob.

atomx

maybe 6 flags should hire him to make a new tumbler for their Batman to roam the parks. because that is some serious crap at 6 flags. You can see the cheapness everywhere.

valthun

@nutbastard: lol

newgalactic

"He knows the tumbler was destroyed in the Dark Knight, right? Wonder if he'll build a replica of the next version too."

What? Just cuz I have the patience to wait till it comes out at my local imax doesn't mean I want the movie ruined!

/drama queen moment

ChuckBlack

I believe the technical term for that is "reservoir tip" for the inevitable nerdgasms when wearing.

klew

@DustyButt: Nice!

I raise a tumbler to the Tumbler.

strider_mt2k

Holy nerdgasm Batman!

beetlebailey

Wicked kewl!

SinAmos

In your face Chinese junkyard submarine builder! USA! USA!

junyo

I wonder if a Batpod will shoot out of it if you crash it!

thegadgeteer

that's differential, not plural... I hat not being able to edit.

TaitRT

Anyone notice how small the rear differentials is on that thing? I give it one good punch of the gas before he needs to get the bat mobile towed.

TaitRT

"DIY Batman Tumbler Is Nearly Perfect, Built With One Man's Bare Hands"

So like he has welding torches for hands? I'm pretty sure he wore gloves when he was building that thing as well.

blahlazer

@drmartintsai: it holds the superfluous amount of balls it took to make the tumbler and suit.

GrimaceXL

If I could only drive it through rush-hour traffic...

anothernord

so maybe the entire project and the uhh...endowment is to make up for lacking?

tehdorkz

what is with the Styrofoam people in the rafters?

Y2KGTP

@CarrerCrytharis: Heh, he'd be eaten alive by fanboys. HOLY CRAP! That sounds awesome! Revenge of the Zombie Fanboys: They thirst for cosplay.

orangesrhyme

Wow...his wife must HATE him.

Although, I have to say..DO WANT

NeoXY

@Y2KGTP: lol???? nice observation when everyone else is looking at the bat mobile and bat suit crotch lol

drmartintsai

i'm jealous.

mordecaidrake

at least there weren't bat nipples

mmoylan

@Y2KGTP: judging by the similarities of the bulges, I'm gonna say that was the mold for the batsuit.

TaitRT

it's funny how he can put all that work in, yet not find the time to finish putting drywall in his garage

loutang82

@NeoXY: are you referring to how he fills the bat suit?

jkr2

HOLY
SHIT

can I haz one?

Ariel_Wollinger

on a scale of 1-10, that's a mother-fucking 20....

an1m3fr33k

the man should seriously put up instructions for that thing. I'm in high school and it would be AMAZING to pull into school in that thing!!!!

chizelord

*pupils dilating appropriately*

tehdahl

Next time my girlfriend tells me I don't want enough...

BAM!

Batmobile.

doobiebros2two

I like how he's got a mold of a body (him?) up there in the rafters..

And seriously, why would you bother with drywall when you could be building THAT...?

Priorities man.

bemused0

Is that thing rusting already? The first pic sorta makes it look that way.

@drmartintsai:
No, no, it's the modern version of the Batnipples from the last wave of movies (and yes, it looks _bad_).

@CarrerCrytharis:
Which, the car or that embarrasing Batsuit? Actually, since most of what I take to our town/train LEGO displays is Batman stuff, this would be pretty cool to drive to those. You know, sans the batsuit. Actually, I'm thinking of getting a custom airbrushed version of this shirt, but substituting my 1st Appearance Batman minifig.

@klew:
Nah, it's for the catheter. I mean, look at that thing. How easy do you really think it'll be to strip that thing off when you're doing the pee-pee dance?

Purple Dave

That ain't shit! I made a Scarecrow mask out of a burlap sack and some elmer's glue. Now I just need to make a shit-ton of hallucinogenic powder and I'm golden!.

_MARVKO_

It looks like Xzibit pimped another Pontiac Fiero.

Manteca

@TaitRT: I thought I was the only one who noticed that. It looks like he took the rear end off some ricemobile and slapped a huge wheel/tire combo over them. Which makes me wonder what kind of powerplant is in that thing. Cuz if it can run at least at highway speeds, it's gotta be making more power than that thing can take. I was expecting at least a 9 inch if not something straight out of a dump truck!

Tumbler vs. Nissan rear axle = AAA phone call.

tatiana.noel

Somebody should tell the dude there was only one person who's been able to handle the batpod.

nyaz

This project is full of win.

thesum

What's going on with Batman's weiner?

Rotgut

I hope he keeps his tires inflated properly or that thing is gonna get the worst gas mileage!

VideoVampire

is it me or does he have moulded bodies in the roof of his garage?

Raz

Oh, also for all those talking about the lack of drywall -- I don't know where this guy is located, but nobody in Texas ever finished out their detached garages. It's a builder cost-cutting thing, I guess. Very common.

GeekyNerdGuy

@tatiana.noel: @TaitRT: Dudes, I don't think that differential is that small -- it's just that it looks small because those tires are huge.

I think it's a Salisbury.

GeekyNerdGuy

MMMM tumbler AHRHAHGHAHGH

Nemesisesq

@karasu is my homeboy: If the afterburner actually works, that's a big negative. Not to mention I don't see any headlights/tailights either.

GeekyNerdGuy

The question that matters: Is this legal to drive on roads and park/express ways?

karasu is my homeboy

that would make sitting in traffic just a little better.....oh wait, I would be driving over and crushing muh fukkahs.....

shamusjack

@GeekyNerdGuy: I think they only mentioned it because there is insulation in a couple of the panels. It looks like either someone started to drywall and didn't finish or they took the drywall off. Considering he has put shelves in the walls, it appears as if he has taken the drywall down to maximize space. I give it a week before Lifehacker has an article about maximizing your garage space by tearing down your drywall and putting shelves in that space.

ceilingFANBOY

i wonder if it will explode if it crashes. sorta like a Ford Pinto.

chorpie

You know you're bored and have too much time on your hands when...

mrkymrk

That is simply amazing.

He should go into business...I bet there are hundreds of rich people who would buy one of these...hell I think I would too.

*empties bank account*

bobx3

As fascinating as this is, I'm sure this is a really good female-repellent as well.

iomatic

Oh, and I'd love to see him in the batsuit. Batman with a mustache and a goatee? That's as bad as Space Ghost's grandad, Grandpa Ghostal:

+ Watch video

Billkwando

@karasu is my homeboy: Hello thar!

I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if it's possible to get a one of a kind vehicle road certified.

Billkwando

@nutbastard: Batman & Robin 2: Formidable Crotch Bulge: The Reckoning.

zenpoet

.... but does it tumble?

JEmlay

Any guy here who noticed the crotch bulge before the tumbler is gay. Hate to break that to you. You can turn both your man and geek cards in at the door.

phreakincool

I'd like to see the plans for the Tumbler. Wonder if he built it off a custom tube-frame chasis, and what the suspension is like.

I'm guessing it doesn't have the driver position that moves forward for attack mode.

EBone

honestly I would rather have Tim Burtons Batmobile or the one from the original T.V. show.

taftsearlobe33

WOW nice, but err lump ummm... * stabs eyes *

jimbob6

Best car mod since Information Society's, "Vector".

(The car featured on the cover of the album, 'HACK')

Diskoboy

I wonder if he could register it as a 'motorcycle' like the kit car builders do?

RobinBabcha

I can't believe no one has figured this out and posted it: The 'angels' in the rafters are the mold used to make the batsuit. And yes, it was very likely made off of his body, for a 100% pure custom fit. Ever tried on one of those off the rack batsuits? So hard to get a good fit! But you guys are right, he should have left a little more "breathing room" down there!
I hope he has something like the 6.6 litre engine from a 77 Trans Am in there, or that thing will be a total slug.
