Batmobile on Top Gear Set - The Stig Climbing In

July 8, 2008

Looks like the batman made a stop to see the folks over at the BBC’s Top Gear. While he was there he was even kind enough to let The Stig take it out for a spin. Might we see the coveted batmobile put down its fastest time around the top gear track? One can only hope.

This just added-

I was contacted by the owner of the photographs who went  through  the story behind it:

As you can tell it was taken when Batman Begins was due out. I worked on the Top Gear programme website at the time and was taking as many photos as possible for the site. When I took this one, we got the third degree from the WB representative, who told us we couldn’t use an image of someone getting into the car via the roof.

Their argument was that it spoiled the illusion of the Batmobile.

I laughed at the time, and as per their request never used it on the site, but put it straight on my Flickr account because I liked the image.
