There’s a real Wayne Enterprises, and it’s selling a $3 million Batmobile

The influence of the Dark Knight trilogy on pop culture remains strong, even 12 years after the release of The Dark Knight Rises. Now, fans of Batman can fulfill their dream of owning a full-size Batmobile, but it comes with a hefty price tag that only those with Bruce Wayne-level wealth can afford.

Wayne Enterprises, a licensed company specializing in luxury accessories for billionaires, is now offering pre-orders for the Tumbler, also known as the Dark Knight‘s military-grade Batmobile. Constructed from Kevlar, carbon fiber, and sheet metal fiberglass, this 5,511-lbs vehicle features a 525 horsepower, 6.2L LS3 V-8 engine, “advanced software upgrades,” and a two-seat interior. While the jet engine and gun turrets are non-functional replicas, the real Tumbler boasts a smokescreen system for evasive maneuvers.

However, owning a Tumbler doesn’t come cheap. Each vehicle from Wayne Enterprises carries a price tag of approximately $2.99 million and may take up to 15 months to be built and delivered. The company is currently accepting applications for reserve spots, making it a competitive process for potential owners. Additionally, the Tumbler is not street legal, requiring access to race tracks or closed-off roadways for driving. But for true Batman enthusiasts, this Batmobile experience may be worth the investment.
