A replica of the Batmobile has been pulled over by cops in Scottsdale, Arizona, in the US.
The tribute to the Batman Tumbler is owned by a car enthusiast known as ‘Lambo Jesus’.
He built it for around $2 million – and its stunning likeness to the real thing meant it drew a lot of attention on the road.
Including unwanted attention from the police.

The Batmobile pulled over by cops
The Batman Tumbler is almost identical to the car from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy.
And according to Gordon Cheng of Effspot, it ‘only comes out at night’.
Despite being a high-tech vehicle, the Batmobile still runs on traditional fuel, so they couldn’t avoid stopping for gas.
As you can imagine, its mechanical features like air flaps and exhaust expansions attracted attention from everyone who passed it.
They flocked to the replica to take videos and photos – bar one who protested that he’s ‘not a DC guy’.
It soon caught the attention of the local cops, too.
But as it turns out, this Batmobile replica was actually road legal.

Despite being pulled over, the cops soon realized they had no reason to stop the replica.
It’s actually fully licensed for street use and has a temporary registration, meaning it wasn’t issued any citation – like this real-life Batmobile seen cruising through Monaco.
Thankfully, the cop had already left when the afterburner flame display was ignited.
The flames emitted from the center exhaust thrilled the crowds but may have gotten Lambo Jesus in hot water, too.
This isn’t the only homage to Bruce Wayne’s wheels, as one man spent 20,000 hours building his very own Batmobile with unbelievable features.
Meanwhile, off-screen Christian Bale drives a much more humble car from 2003.
