The car of your dreams is finally for sale. You’ll have to have the Wayne fortune to afford it, but someone still had the bright idea of selling The Dark Knight’s Batmobile for a big fat penny to a joker who wants one in their car hold.

Replica “Tumbler” Batmobiles are being sold for a bank-breaking $3 million apiece. They come in black as they should and are “fully functional” although they aren’t street legal according the organization selling them, and sources such as Barstool Sports.

The Wayne Enterprises Experience, which Barstool hints is a division of Warner Bros., has made ten custom Tumblers available to commemorate Batman’s 85th anniversary. Costing a cool $30M altogether, that’s quite the donation for the Wayne Charity Fund.

The specifications are fairly accurate, but the turrets and jet engine are imitation, so don’t expect a speed boost or firepower from this war machine. Sorry, no Batpod either. There is, however, a smoke screen delivery system in case you need to make a clean getaway.

The custom ride is made of sturdy stainless steel, carbon fiber, and fiberglass with some Kevlar thrown in for authenticity. It should also help if the driver is being chased by police cruisers (note: we’re not trying to impart any funny ideas, this is entertainment).

The Tumbler replicas will also come with a V8 engine, large 4-wheel power disc brakes, and racecar-quality seat harnesses, so that the beast of a vehicle can come to a stop fully and safely for the sake of its occupants.

With all the rigmarole out of the way, it’s time to be the bearer of some bad news. Even if you have the money, your chances of getting behind the wheel of one of these bad boys still could prove to be slim.

The cars are being sold by invitation only through the Wayne Enterprises page, and exclusively to only avid collectors, it looks like. Prospective buyers will be put on a list and their bid will go through a review. Warner Bros. is likely to have a right of refusal baked into the deal as there’s always fine print (and it doesn’t exist for nothing).
