Bruce Bought a New Batmobile, from Gordon Murray?

Gordon Murray's Batmobile
Well, not exactly. Bruce still has the Tumbler at his disposal. This was just a concept if Bruce ever changed his mind. Built by the designer and creator of the most iconic supercar in the world, the McLaren F1, this is Gordon Murray's take on the Batmobile. As you can see, it's less of a powerful V8 tank and more of a fuel-cell racing machine. To many who love the Tumbler, this might sound quite boring, but to others, it's quite cool. The whole body is made out of breathable Carbon Fiber for lightness on the road. The jet-inspired exhaust in the rear only emits water since this car is powered by a Hydrogen Fuel-Cell. The body itself takes some styling out of a Formula One racing car while managing the stealthy and creative Batman look. The only thing that makes this car stand out for the crooks are the wheels, which Mr. Murray wanted very flashy. I don't think you've helped Bruce quite as much there Gordon, but good work. He may consider it.

Big Kids' Bike!

Parker Brothers Green Machine
If you're one for the big-wheeled tricycle, then you might love what I've just found. The Parker Brothers Choppers decided to supersize the popular big wheel for big kids to ride. You won't need pedals to work this thing because it comes with an 80-cubic inch Harley Davidson Evo engine. The acclaimed top speed of this thing is over 50 MPH, and that front wheel is 3-feet, 9-inches tall. That's pretty insane for a bike. Then again, this was built by the same people who recreated the TRON LiteCycle with a Harley Davidson and the Batman's BatPod with just custom parts. Unfortunately, if you are 6 years old and really, really want this, mommy's not gonna buy it for you because she'll say it's dangerous. Parker Brothers are only letting the big kids ride this bike. In fact, if you are even a big kid, you won't be able to ride this bike yourself because in order for this thing to be approved by the Department of Transportation, it shouldn't be steered via its rear wheels.
