SEMA 2008: The Batsmart by Barris

George Barris has officially gone batty. While he is one of the men generally acknowledged for creating the original Batmobile, he hasn’t shown anything with those trademark wings since Joel Schumacher almost ruined the franchise. And then we passed this in the North Hall at SEMA today. Maybe it was Catwoman standing next to it, but the Batsmart instantly takes us back with those trademark high-mounted rear wings, a rear jet exhaust, roof-mounted flutes and vertical doors. We don’t have many details, but we really don’t need them. Just look at it – it’s a smart fortwo wearing a Batmobile costume for Halloween!

I might find it silly, but it is rather cool. It's almost as if his grandkids dared him to come up with something childlike. The man still has passion.
