A batmobile was in the Mark Wahlberg / Jennifer Aniston movie "Rockstar"

good movie, and that goes double if you are a rock music lover or a fan of the two celebs, they did a good acting job in this one, not a business as usual in my comfortable role you already have seen me do in other movies or tv shows.

Comic Con from the vehicle perspective (Batmobiles in following posts)

looks like the architecture was made for a bunch of sci fi - fantasy fans

The best way to prove a Prius is green... use it as a planter.

Why is it like this? It's a prop for a tv show that opens this fall, Revolution. It's about the way America would deal with a planet wide loss of electricity in all applications. Nothing electrical has any function. Very cool show, I saw the first episode on preview night

In the gaslamp, you can get pedi cabs that are set up for comic con related things.

Now this movie prop with a Bugatti tag on the nose is for a movie by the guy who made "District 9" and the trailer looks like it's going to be a really cool movie. Matt Damon and Jodie Foster star in it, and its Matt's character trying to get off Earth to the huge ringworld spacestation (Ringworld by Niven) to get medical treatment to save his life... because all the best of everything got off the planet, and moved to the station.

One Bond car a day was displayed in this booth, and this Aston Martin from "The Living Daylights" is entirely fiberglass, even the tires

The Total Recall vehicle, wow. It's been named the year 2087 Chrysler 3000. What last years display had http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/08/movie-car-that-will-be-in-new-version.html was a police model, in Dodge name plate, and this one here is Chrysler. I think that is because Dodge had a Police car fleet scenario in place. Chrysler doesn't.

from "Looper" with Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon Levitt

Jeff Dunham... Batmobile fan and owner of a Batman Returns version, plus a Barris customized Smart car made to look like a Batmobile

Here in the above image he was on the Comic Con panel discussing the Batmobile and the 20 minute documentary that I suppose will be part of the new Batman movie dvd and blue ray extras

in the following video you see most of the Batmobiles getting staged downtown San Diego for the short 10 block drive to the convention center where they were displayed during Comic Con. The amazing part is that it was at a wide open public area where no ticket or pass was required.

they all got together at the Burbank area Bob's Big Boy partly because of a Make a Wish foundation situation, and partly for the upcoming documentary I mentioned in the beginning of this post. I think that driving these on public roads is likely a thrill for the owers who bought cars that aren't street legal (headlights, tail lights, bumpers, smog, etc etc here in California) and rarely get to drive them... plus to get to drive them with other Batmobiles, that has to be a cool feeling. Small number of people in the Batmobile owners club
