You can own Christian Bale’s Batmobile, but you’ll need a Bruce Wayne-sized fortune to afford it

Holy sticker shock, Batman!

Fans of the Dark Knight Batman film series starring Christian Bale finally have a chance to own director Christopher Nolan’s iconic take on the Batmobile. But if you want one of the 10 replicas going on the market, you’re going to need a Bruce Wayne-sized fortune to pay for it.

The first officially sanctioned replica of the Tumbler, as it was called in the film, will cost $2.99 million. Oh, one caveat… it’s not street legal, so you won’t be able to impress folks at the grocery store or mortify your child when you pick them up from school.

Each of the 10 replicas will have an interior that is custom built to fit its owner, as well as a certificate of authentication from Warner Bros. Discovery. If you’ve got the money and a borderline obsessive love of Batman, you can head to BruceWayneX.com to place an order.

Action Vehicle Engineering is the company making these tanks. And while you may not be able to get on the interstate with them, you’d certainly be able to break some local ordinances if you did. The Batmobile is equipped with a Powertrain 6.2L LS3 525 HP Engine with 486FT lbs Torque and includes a smoke screen delivery system. It’s made of Kevlar, carbon fiber, sheet metal and fiberglass and weighs a dainty 5,511 lbs. (which is still less than a Cybertruck).

The Batsuit gets hot, so it also has air conditioning—as well as a GPS, for when you forget how to find the Riddler’s hideout. And you’ll be kept safe with a five-point racing car seat harness.

Downside: The jet engine simulation on the back of the vehicle does not actually throw flames.

The company says Batmobiles “are expected to ship in up to 15 months after buyers put down a deposit.”
