We'd previously learned that a Batmobile would be making an appearance in the forthcoming ARTHUR remake. My understanding of the set-up for this is that Russell Brand's wealthy title character gets bored and decides to buy a Batmobile as a man toy (or something to that effect) - we'll see if that's how the gag actually plays out on screen.
Keeks, an AICN reader, chanced across the picture's filming while walking his dog - spotting the Schumacher-era Batmobile sitting on the strret, waiting for filming. Keeks sucks. When I take my dog for a walk? We get strafed by a Stealth Skunk. When he takes his dog out? He sees a fucking Batmobile. Granted, it's evidently from Schumacher's BATMAN FOREVER - which automatically makes it not necessarily the coolest Batmobile Keeks might've stumbled across, but it's a Batmobile nonetheless and I'm a tad jealous.
Here's Keeks' introductory missive, followed by some snapshots he was kind enough to grab for us & send in. We really do appreciate your efforts, Keeks. Thanks a ton.
I live in Queens, right near the Kaufman Astoria studio, where the "Arthur" remake has been shooting recently. I haven't seen anything really interesting until this morning. Imagine my surprise when I went to walk my dog and found myself staring at the Batmobile! I believe it's the one from BATMAN FOREVER. Anyway I was able to snap a couple pics from my balcony.
Daily Mail has posted some other pics of the Batmobile in action - looks like they may be from the same location? - you can find them HERE.
