I had to add the logo on the chest, since it was missing; I suppose for the same copyright issues I mentioned above.

Avus, that Batman looks really cool! You capture the classic comic hero very nicely!
I pulled up the Batman figure pic as shown on the site:
He is 1/32 scale, so very close to the car's scale. If I remember, there is or was a 1/32 scale 1960s style batmobile model that would go with this if available.
A creative modeller could incorporate the new car and the figure with some kitbashing skills and make a very intriguing "Gotham Diorama," doing away with the eagle head and perhaps having Batman perched on a fire escape or somesuch in a dark alley, with the car on the ground below? I'm wagering this figure would look quite sharp in the black costume. Since there is no bat symbol in the mold, it would make for a more adaptable character.
I have to say that is a really tempting thing to pursue for me now!
Oooooh so many ideas, so little time...
