Batman Day – Batmobile Drag Race July 19, 2012

Okay it’s not technically gaming related, but it is a competition.  I’m sure many of you have always asked yourselves, “What is the fastest Batmobile?”  Our friends over at Bat in the Sun have the answer.

Their series Super Power Beat Down takes two of the most iconic things in comics, science-fiction, fantasy and gaming and pits them against each other for the fans.  They also bring in various experts from across the web to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each side and concludes with a final battle to decide who is the best!

For their premiere episode, they took two of the most iconic cars of all time, the George Barris developed Batmobile made for the Adam West Batman TV show and the Batmobile created for the Tim Burton directed 1989 Batman movie!  Who wins?  Watch and find out!

Coming next for Super Power Beat Down?  Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake.

And if you’re a huge fan of the Batmobile like I am, there was a fantastic documentary about the Batmobile which was produced in conjunction with The Dark Knight Rises.  A 22-minute cut of the documentary premiered at the San Diego Comic Con and was broadcasted on TV shortly afterwards.  The documentary is going to be released on The Dark Knight Rises Blu-Ray in Fall 2012 (technically making this documentary the first confirmed special feature on the disc as well as a release announcement of the disc itself) as well as Digital Download.  If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a preview!
