James Gordon: "That was a very brave thing you did Wayne."Bruce Wayne saves Reese (who almost reveals Batman's true identity on television until The Joker intercedes and says he'll blow up a hospital in Gotham unless Reese is killed) when he uses his Lamborghini Murcielago to intercept an attempt on Reese's life.
Bruce Wayne: "What... running a stop light?"
Bruce Wayne: "Do you think I should go to the hospital?"
James Gordon: "You don't watch a whole lot of news, do you, Mr Wayne?"
When I saw this Burago 1/24 scale die-cast Lamborghini Reventon, with its matt gray/black paintwork, opening doors, hood and trunk, bucket seats, detailed dashboard and precision engine, I was thinking, "It's so batmobile-like" and couldn't resist not getting it and adding it to my Batmobile collection. At that time, The Dark Knight movie wasn't out yet so it was a pleasant surprise when Bruce Wayne uses his other "Batmobile", the Lamborghini Murcielago, in the movie. Perhaps he'll replace it with the Reventon in the third instalment. That'll be a hoot!
Don't know much about cars but I just love the design; the exterior styling was supposedly inspired by the F-22 Raptor. For more about cars, visit Kenny's site. He's the car aficionado.
Not that into cars but I just couldn't take my eyes off this beauty!!
Nice batmobiles! Die cast cars is a whole new dark side! Dont go there, if not you will have to buy another new house very soon :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! Don't worry Marcus, my first love is still 1/6 figures. The only vehicles I collect are Batmobiles (and not all of them) and Star Wars vehicles (completed that with the latest Star Wars legacy Millennium Falcon) plus some bikes. Haven't stopped collecting 1/6 :)
ReplyDeleteI have the Bburago 1:24 scale Lamborghini Reventon too! My friends and I also think it looks like a Batmobile, though it resembles a tank more.

Hi Juliana WOW!! a female toy collector :) very rare in my circle. I actually didn't know the car was available so much earlier, based on your post dated May 6, 2008. Hope you enjoyed the car as much as I did and when you finally get your own, don't forget to invite me for a ride ;p ha! ha! That's the beauty of the reventon, looks like a tank but doesn't move like one - for that, you've got the Tumbler!!
ReplyDeleteHehe, I look forward to getting a real Lamborghini someday! :)
ReplyDeleteLike I said, "When you do (notice I say 'when', not 'if'), remember to give me a lift :)" - not shy to ask lah - LOL
