The new Batmobile’s inside can be extremely detailed, with light-up instrumentation, a working steering and shifter that precisely transfer because the RC toy is pushed round, and a six-inch tall detachable Batman determine who seems to truly drive the automobile when he’s positioned within the entrance seat holding the steering wheel and shifter.
