Fanhome, the leader in subscription-based collections and models, brings one of the most famous cars in history to collectors with the launch of the Batmobile (1966) build-up model subscription, in collaboration with Warner Bros Discovery Global Consumer Products.
In January 1966, DC’s Batman TV series premiered in the US. Starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin, the series incarnated a hilarious crime-fighting duo that has become legendary. Now the series returns with an incredible replica of Batman’s most famous gadget – the Batmobile.
Designed and built by the pioneering hot rod builder, Geoge Barris, and based on a custom 1955 Lincoln Futura, this version of the Batmobile has become one of the most recognizable vehicles in television history and its impressive array of gadgets would, time and time again, foil the nefarious plots of Gotham’s greatest villains.

Based on exhaustive studies of the original car and the TV show by Fanhome designers, the Batmobile measures over 2 feet (71.4cm) when completed and touts a host of the Dynamic Duo’s many mobile crime-fighting gadgets such as the Bat-phone, Bat-scope, emergency turn lever, and the iconic Bat-shaped steering wheel, which is functional and turns the wheels of the car. Opening doors, hood, and trunk panels as well as LED effects for the headlights and an illuminated afterburner that is accented with jet sound effects add to the realism of the Fanhome Batmobile.
