Seeing as we won’t be able to afford a £250,000 fully-functioning Batmobile this week, we’ll probably settle for some Bat-Cuffs.
What better way to get your whole, Men-in-Tights fantasy life off to a flying, crime-busting - somewhat kinky - start than with these JLA Trophy Room Batman Bat-Cuffs Replica. The makers say:
"One of Batman's most famous crime-fighting gadgets is the latest addition to the JLA Trophy Room: life-sized, fully functioning Bat-Cuffs – the same size as regulation police handcuffs! Reproduced for the first time ever as a high-quality prop replica, these metal Bat-Cuffs unlock with a special bat-shaped key. They fold in half for easy transport, or can be displayed on the included stand. Packaged in a 4-color box, the Bat-Cuffs also come with a certificate of authenticity and a second, duplicate Bat Key."
Yours for around £70 here – yes, 70 whole pounds. Thank God for the second key because you just know that some ‘fan’ is going to use these things in a completely non-Batman approved manner involving latex, barking, whips and gags.
