CarCast - Jeff Dunham and his street legal Batmobile from Batman Returns

[@robertdurhammusic]

How people can say this is not the definitive Batmobile is crazy.

[@imhappyandyou.4003]

When I found out that Jeff was the person who bought the original Batmobile from the tv show I was genuinely happy because you know darn well he will drive it and not just stare at it.

[@weneedsaving515]

My favorite of all the Bat-mobiles

[@jimsmith283]

This one and the Tumbler for me.

[@THESPECTER1984]

Mine too

[@jcoptimus]

Everyone raves about the Tumbler. They can keep it. THIS is THE Batmobile.

[@DranweRagetotem]

+jcoptimus Damn STRAIGHT dude !!

[@mrlionel1965]

100% agree. The tumbler sucked. This and the 66 batmobile are it as far as I am concerned.

[@smittenthekitteninmittens2679]

salty because nolan turned all that cheesy shite into something amazing??...and the 66 batmobile is THE one

[@michaelfedorsha8147]

I totally agree

[@37Kilo2]

To me, they are not the same in any respect. This Batmobile, which I love, is kind of a silly comic-y/cartoonish, creation. The Burton era Batman movies weren't really meant to be taken seriously; they were really campy (I still love them. They're my childhood). Nolan era Batman was to be taken much more seriously, and to be as realistic as possible. The tumbler was a military creation, so it had to look the part. So, to me, comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges. That said, this Batmobile is probably still my favorite; it's so stylish and unique.

[@Blondie42]

He added voice activation for starting the engine after this video. An absolute baddass car. I love them all, but this one's my favorite version. I was a kid when they came out with it.

[@digitalmagicAR]

This Batmobile style and the original 1966 version both had honest, unique well put together class that none since have

[@geeked-outturtlesfan4288]

This is the ultimate geeky Batman fans dream . Love the 1989 Batmobile and the one from Batman Returns

[@mrlionel1965]

Best "MOVIE" car ever. I still love the 66 Adam West batmobile though.

[@nuttda3244]

From IMDB: The Batmobile was built on the chassis of a Chevy Impala, and incorporated the engine of an Impala, the tail lights of a Ferrari, the fuel caps of a London bus, and jet engine parts from a Harrier Jump Jet. The sliding cockpit was also inspired by that of a Harrier, with the slim windows of a gun emplacement. Art director Terry Ackland-Snow added the headlights of a Honda Civic to the vehicle after noticing them on his wife's car. One video that I watched said the chassis was two 1988 Chevy Impala's. So, if this info helps anyone, there ya go.

[@vhscopyofseinfeld]

The guys who designed the 1989 batmobile don’t get the recognition they deserve. Whoever they are, they’re literally responsible for the most badass car even made.

[@Choom2077]

Anton Furst designed it as well as the Gotham setting in 89. RIP.

[@aaronsummerlin9121]

I noticed your key fob batteries are about dead. It's a good thing that didn't happen to Keaton in the first movie when he tells the car to stop. The delayed reaction would surely have ruined any chance that batman returned. Thank you Duracell bunny. We salute you.

[@motor1841]

I'm pretty sure Jeff still has this today! I saw him show up on another channel for a recent comic book event. Its a sweet ride!

[@patientmental875]

He wont sell it, its worth a few million

[@EpicMickey777]

If they make a new Batman film with The Ventriloquist they should cast Jeff and have Walter play Scarface (the Ventrlioquist's dummy).

[@YTAFan]

+Josh Thomas I have to admit Jeff Dunham has the experience. But can he pull it off? Frankly, I thought Jim Carrey would have been a better fit for the Joker than Jack Nicholson. And if Jeff Dunham's here, where are Walter, Peanut, Achmed, and the others?

[@EpicMickey777]

I dunno. I like the thought of Jim playing the Joker but Jack played his role in a way that was evil and funny.

[@DranweRagetotem]

+YTAFan Jim Carrey in a batman movie ? HAH! x'D it would be a comedy movie instead of a action thriller :P

[@MrRonin055]

Jim WAS in a batman movie. he was the riddler, and he did a passable job.

[@thetreblerebel]

DOOD! YOUR RIGHT

[@demonocusmetalocus3558]

I'm jealous ,that car is awesome

[@ILoooooveCamels]

Those are some really cool, appropriate modifications. You're a good Batman, Jeff Dunham.

[@cherylfrey4099]

I love Jeff Dunham he is my favorite comedian ever. He is just the sweetest comedian ever.

[@usernamefromhell]

In my eyes this is THE Batmobile!

[@Ghostofenzo]

Plays with puppets, Buys the Batmobile! 😯

[@mikekiefer6462]

ENZOtaki , and he uses lotion.

[@sky0kast0]

That's the power of having shows that total 10k profit

[@leonarddement4058]

So the batman movie has two cars that are still at Warner Bros. And Jeff Dunham literally OWNS the only batman returns car and the car HAD to be made street legalized in order to own this thing?? Wow.

[@freakshowfilmfestival3591]

Puppets aside, he is a good comedian.

[@imhappyandyou.4003]

He also bought the original Batmobile from the TV series for $4.2 million dollars 😱.. His car collection is starting to get up there.

[@spidey3000]

I love how almost every one in the comments are pushing their idea of whats funny, personally i dont give a damn what any of you think, I'm here for the fucking BATMOBILE.

[@Avenging_Archer]

I don't give a fuck what you're here for.

[@alexanderpinto539]

Why are you reading comments? Your comment is invalid.

[@vaccumsealed]

this vehicle wasnt just from the 2nd film but from the BOTH Keaton films, 1 and 2. This car becomes the "Bat...Missle" in Batman Returns as it loses its side flares and fendors to go through a narrow alley. Theres more of these cars than what they claim cause there was a contest when the movie was released to win one of these cars. I was a child in 89 when this movie was released, and i was sooooooo excited for it that i bought a magazine strictly themed for the fim, and inside were the contest rules and entry for your chance to win a replica. Fast good restaraunts use to promote summer blockbusters in those days with their own promotions, and i wanna say Taco Bell done the promos for this movie. I know they did for Demolition Man, but im not sure bout this one.

[@gza06955]

True.. and I could've sworn the cars used in Returns has windshield wipers above the canopy windows

[@s4lroachclip]

But this one is exactly the 3rd one they had for the 2nd keaton movie, not a replica as you are actually referring to.

[@shawnjarman9860]

HRRoach finally! Someone stated the difference, they gave away a REPLICA, this is not a replica, but one of the 3 used in the movie

[@s4lroachclip]

Shawn Jarman I thought he said it was the third one made for the movie but it wasn't actually used...

[@Herosthroe]

Glad I'm not the only one to notice the Returns Batmobile had some kind of clips and wipers that the 89 version didn't have, due to the winter setting. If this was a 3rd, unused vehicle, maybe they didn't bother making the changes?

[@victory7436]

What the heck Warner bro’s!!! This car needs to be on display it’s a classic!!!!

[@not.supermario]

I'd take this or the 1966 model. Both are beautiful and how I think the Batmobile would look.

[@LostChildOfTime]

This is the coolest looking car of all time.

[@marioforget2773]

It’s nice to be à MULTI MILLIONNAIRE.

[@echowing9560]

The Batmobile from the Tim Burton movies is the best version of it. That's my opinion and I refuse to change it.

[@universalpenman]

omg they got me when he's says: "ohhmm you can probably shut it off " 😂😂😂

[@brianna44marie71]

It's still my favorite batmobile to me and still much cooler then the tumbler I love this.

[@nelsonramos2218]

I've seen this car at a manteca , california, by the bass pro shops shopping center, inside a place with all other batman cars and motorcycles... The thing is that in person is so awesome!!!!

[@godchi1dvonsteuben770]

Probably WASN'T this one, hun... Sorry...

[@alpal3158]

“This is why the terrorists hate us” great line.

[@TheWebMaster179]

Wow this was my dream car since childhood. Shame that even if I had it, I probably wouldn't fit in

[@NightFireXD]

OMG one of my favorite comedians has my favorite bat mobile from my favorite Batman! AWESOME....i just had a geekgasm, lol

[@deathscthye02]

Thank you for sharing this! This answers the questions I've had for a model I'm building of this car!

[@chriswilson3126]

How's that going?

[@erichaheidrich4593]

Best Batmobile.

[@websuspect]

You should have it fitted with a removable racing steering wheel.

[@jamesbizs]

Yep

[@mattyice5138]

Still , by far the greatest looking Batmobile ...

[@dennydeckerful]

I remember in the early 90s MTV gave away one of the Batmobiles from the movie.

[@DivineKnight_115]

Proof that it doesn’t matter how expensive your car costs. It’s still not the Batmobile and I believe most car enthusiasts really just eat a Batmobile.

[@Joesworldttv]

Michael Keaton: Hello police? I would like to report my vehicle stolen.

[@jaydendavis7596]

I'd love to make one of these with my everlast welder. What a classic design.

[@Just_James_79]

You drive it around a gated community at night..... wow that is so badass full on fearless batman styleee!!

[@cosmicdarkmatter1128]

the Batmobiles from the 80's movies are the slickest...

[@MrVara411]

0:42 "They had two vehicles for the first movie and... Mr. Corolla please don't touch my car."

[@asapientmachine]

Jay Ohrberg build a total of 7 Batmobiles for the Returns film. The base vehicles were early to mid 1970's Buicks and Oldsmobiles with their chassis' stretched an additional 2' in length. The GM frame's wide design allowed the driver and passenger compartment to be set between the frame rails rather than on top of the frame.

[@Commack08]

They're talking about adding the flames to the rear, well that's easy. Burner head from an oil fired heating system.

[@alecball68]

Puppets helicopters and automobiles awesome I'm changing my career

[@blackfire3744]

Who says there's no money in ventriloquism anymore?

[@izaelguedes5117]

To me, this is the best Batmobile.

[@plungerofdoom6453]

o Especulador I like the tumbler

[@Alantheleopard]

Absolutely impressive. Like a massive, stretched Porsche, but more awesome. Waiting for the day they build a 1989 REAL Batwing and make it fly (unlikely as it is)... At least a real size mockup would suffice to me.

[@malaspulgas68]

Su esfuerzo y pasión por su trabajo le Dio resultados y satisfacciones y esta es una de ellas, felicidades

[@elfpimp1]

In case you didn't know it, Jeff and his crew did indeed get a flame maker working on that batmobile.

[@matthewtoxic6691]

If this is the same one they used at Ontario Mills when the second movie debuted, the driver of it almost put my eye out with the wing when he was backing up.

[@facundolinch2550]

El mejor batmobile sin dudas insuperable!! Impresionante maquina

[@Anthony-gu1gj]

My favorite bat mobile ever.

[@Pudward69]

I love this Batmobile. How the hell did they fit Batman into this thing, the guy who sat in it looked like he barely fit, so how did they get Keaton (or a stunt driver) in it, even with just wearing the top of the Batsuit? After you watch Batman Begins (which could be a prequel to Batman 1989), you would love to see how Bruce decided to go from The Tumbler to this Batmobile, I would've loved to see that decided in the films.

[@nafordebi]

how cool to be able to own the friggin bat mobile,i want to be jealous but i own everything that makes me happy too jeff! great purchase

[@Andrew-el8xi]

Yep the best batmoble from the best movies with the best batman of all !

[@ramseylopatic8260]

I never realized the driver's area was so tiny, I almost bought one not too far back and was going to travel a few states over to get it. Glad I didn't now since I'm a big 6'2" guy. Ended up getting a widebody corvette instead :)

[@ramseylopatic8260]

+Jack Beanstalk Being american doesn't have anything to do with noticing how small that driver's seat area is. Didn't you see the guy trying to fit in there and Jeff saying how difficult the pedals were because of the small area.

[@ramseylopatic8260]

+Jack Beanstalk I've been to russia, czech, germany and austria and saw alot of people my height. In Czech I saw women that were as tall or taller than myself on a daily basis. The only time I felt big was when around the asian tourists haha.

[@necondaa]

+Jack Beanstalk Do you live in the U.S?

[@BruceWayne-dl2cb]

+Ramsey Lopatic You just have to modify the tub where you sit.

[@Pressed_For_Time]

Corolla: "I'm too tall to fit in there" other guy "fuck yes!! excuse me!!" what i wouldn't give to just sit in there with the canopy closed.. *sigh* a man can dream... a full grown 30 year old man can dream..

[@craigleith100]

BobbyJay Hey Bobby im 43 n feel exactly the same lol i don't give a shit what any1 thinks i love everything Batman ive had all sorts of Batman things as an adult from the full replica mask from the M.Keaton movies model cars posters toy figures but those i bought for my son but they were really for me 😆 ✌👍from Scotland 🙋

[@godchi1dvonsteuben770]

That thing is nicer (build quality) than any replica I've ever seen...

[@TheNightstocker]

Cause its not a replica

[@ChefSmith82]

They have one from the first movie in Auburn, IN. It’s in the car museum and it’s fucking cool.

[@vampyrikus]

A Puppet Dork owns the Batmobile?!! You Gotta Love America! ; ) Long live the Dark Knight!!

[@Zaran666]

very very good batmobile, the best

[@Providenceangle]

Man when it showed the interior the first time... Man I laughed so hard.

[@jeremys.travels]

That's a beautiful thing ♥️🔥😍

[@michaelbruno1666]

The continuous lines from back to front are an amazing design.

[@tevinhoward4419]

The batmobile is jet powered bulletproof fireproof and it reaches speeds up to 300 mph could we possibly improve on it yes "OnStar how can I help you Batman". Its all the u need on the road.

[@john25rs2001]

to get the flames out the back, Use a hot air balloon burner hooked up to a couple propane tanks like they did for the "Tumbler" ;-)

[@ThomasWilliams848403]

man that car so sweet

[@Out-Cast75]

This and the 60s batmobile are the true mobiles

[@AKhellbindeR]

It was built on the b-body platform, specifically a 6th gen Impala.

[@keithspringston9283]

My favorite car in the whole world.

[@jeffk464]

This car needs a helicopter engine way more than one of Jay Leno's motorcycles. The sound of a jet engine spooling up would really complete the car.

[@DranweRagetotem]

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very nice video and fun to watch.

[@gangmeow]

I've seen it in person its on display at the petersen museum in california.

[@thomasleemullins4372]

I think that is cool. IMO, the best batmobile is the one Adam West drove in the television series Batman. To me, it will always be the best one. I have seen it being driven in New Jersey.

[@saifurrahman3420]

Because you grew up seeing it. Nostalgia.

[@elcarajo66]

It's funny, I can't stand the '66 Batman TV show because it's so campy and yet I LOVE the George Barris Batmobile from that show. I agree with you, I'd say the '66 Batmobile is tops and the '89 Batmobile is the next best.

[@dhgbfhhhg8d412]

Best Batmobile hands down...👌

[@mrDCunningham]

My cousin Carl Casper built that car and the other 2 batmoblies for that movie. I don't know why they never mention his name. He is a legend custom car builder. Deserving of the credit

[@dennydeckerful]

Carl Casper's Custom Auto Show, never knew he built tv and movie cars til now. Thanks.

[@mrDCunningham]

@@dennydeckerful ya he built Evel Knievel wheelie car and the batmobile for the 2nd Batman movie with Keaton Devito and Phifer. He owns a company called Hollywood productions and owns the rights to many others like the general Lee and kit. Thanks for the reply Denny

[@dennydeckerful]

@@mrDCunningham Yes I did a little research after reading your 1st comment, used to go to the car show in Louisville Kentucky, it was a big deal back in the 80s. Carl actually said it was his favorite and had his last car show there. Imagine creating the General Lee and KITT and most probably thought George Barris did it, George was known to take credit for others work btw.

[@mrDCunningham]

@@dennydeckerful Denny I don't think Carl actually created the general Lee or kit. He just owns the rights. He did create the batmobile we were talking about though. Under direction of a guy named Anton. I think his name was who was head of props and stuff for the movie.Carl mostly built his own customs for his self and still has every one of them. He is something else and a great guy. I was at the last show in Louisville with him. I played Elvis for a while and Carl had me at Louisville in 2010. My KZbin channel has a few videos of that. I was in the west wing. Since my childhood I worked for Carl and my Dad who is is first cousin. I usually helped with the bands and it was a dream of mine to perform at one of the shows and he made it happen. George was a great customizer. My favorite is the 1966 batmobile.

[@dennydeckerful]

@@mrDCunningham Casper took the job to build a fleet of General Lees for show, and also worked out a deal with Warner Brothers Studio to show the cars around the world. “Believe it or not, it just became a major hit - it was just unbelievable,” Casper said. “People in Europe, people in Australia, South America and throughout the United States - it was just a major hit. People loved it.” Casper was soon churning out builds of iconic Hollywood vehicles - among them the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am known as K.I.T.T. from “Knight Rider” and the van for “The A-Team,” then was tasked with building the Batmobile for the Tim Burton-directed 1989 film “Batman.” Casper followed up as the Batmobile builder for the 1992 sequel “Batman Returns.”

The chad of all cars

[@PhinneusPrune]

For the Nolan Batmobile. They created the flame out the back pretty easily with great effect. They took a Hot Air balloon flamer and hooked it up with the little bottle and tethered it to a lever in the cockpit. I am sure he could do the same for cheap without much overhauling. However ... I wouldn't go off on long drives with a propane tank strapped sitting in the trunk *I am wondering if this was the Batmobile Warner Brothers gave away in the contest back in the day. Although I think it was the first movie version that David Copperfield now owns.

[@elfpimp1]

He has, in fact, gotten a flamer to work back there. It in one of Jeff's own KZbin vids..
