c1992 Warner Brothers Batmobile '1989'
Chassis no. N/A

• Official Warner Bros. Batmobile, constructed circa 1992 for use in the Batman Stunt Show at Six Flags Great Adventure (New Jersey).
• Moulded using the original 1989 Tim Burton "Batman" Batmobile body moulds, preserving the exact dimensions and detailing of Anton Furst's Academy Award–winning design.
• Powered by a Volkswagen Beetle engine, allowing limited drive functionality for live-action performances.
• Built under Warner Bros. license for Six Flags Entertainment as part of the first generation of officially sanctioned Batmobiles produced for promotional and stunt use.
• Retains its fibreglass bodywork, cockpit canopy, and stage lighting features as fitted for show operation.
• Acquired by Movie Cars Central from a private U.S. collector following its retirement from the Six Flags attraction.

Constructed circa 1992 under official Warner Bros. supervision, this Batmobile was created for the Batman Stunt Show at Six Flags Great Adventure. The design reproduces the celebrated 1989 Tim Burton Batmobile, originally designed by Anton Furst for Warner Bros.' feature film. Using the original production moulds, the body was cast in fibreglass and mounted over a practical chassis powered by a Volkswagen Beetle engine, giving the car limited but functional mobility during live performances.
The vehicle was used throughout the Six Flags show's 1992 season, appearing in stunt sequences and stage demonstrations. There, Batman was seen arriving in the Batmobile assisted with Robin, getting out of the car as it is still driving, to go and fight against the Joker. The crow was then seeing the Batmobile leaving by itself with no driver visible. Indeed, the real driver was seating in the back of the car, behind the cockpit and was seeing through a net.
Acquired in a movie related private collection by Movie Cars Central, it remains today in its original show configuration, with its authentic Warner Bros. provenance and distinctive display presence intact. It will be sold with a bill of sale.
