It's about a 2 minute walk from my office, right now, in Yonge-Dundas Square, in the heart of Toronto. I really want to see it roll over a taxi.

Sweet! So, is that area your equivalent of Hollywood Blvd or Times Square?

I hear they are pretty gay about who they let drive that one. A bunch of the NASCAR drivers wanted to drive it when it was at the track to promote the dark knight and they wouldn't let them because they need to have a "special license."

Yonge Street is the main drag, in downtown Toronto. The put this square together a few years back and, ever since then, most of the major events in the city have at least passed through it. They hold festivals there, free concerts over the summer, during Fashion Week they set up an open air catwalk...... Lots of stuff. I wouldn't say it's anywhere near the scale of a Times Square though. Not even close.

Unfortunately I missed the Batmobile at the TV station, and so didn't get a chance to get any cabin shots. That would have been interesting to see.

Moose burger better than moose steak (too tough).

Who is they?

I didn't even know it was operational. Even if it is, I doubt it's built well enough to withstand track speeds.

I am guessing the studio that owns it. It is operational. It was an unofficial pace car for that race. They probably didn't let them do it for liability reasons.

3rd parties build them just like any custom car place. I saw the site where they built the motorcycle for The Priest.

It was on display at the Children's Museum in Indianapolis for quite awhile, although I'm not sure if it was a replica or the real thing. It would be nice to see the real one with the doors opened up, though.

Seems that they brought the Batbike out, later on, but I missed it :(

Wonder how Batman got a passport photo by the Feds with that cowl on?

Didn't need one. He's from Toronto.
