Holy Bat Wheels! For a time, long ago, Batman’s latest vehicle was safely parked at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, N.J. Those of us lucky enough to be in the neighborhood in 1998 got to see it. I always figured that Robin, Alfred, and the Bat Cave were situated somewhere on Long Island, but maybe it is Jersey. I wonder what visitors will see if they stop by Great Adventure this summer.

Many years later, one of Batman’s earlier cars was sighted at the New York Historical Society in Manhattan. No matter where one stands on the Batman v. Superman rivalry, it is hard to dispute that the caped crusader does have good taste in wheels.
