The Batmobile is every Batman fan's favorite gadget. It is even a dream come true for many fans if they could finally ride one. Even better, the new Batmobile toy being offered to kids and collectors has augmented reality features which enable the user to get the driver's view.

When the Batmobile first came as a toy, there was so much reason for fans to rejoice. However, the design might have been a letdown but at the same time, the toy is loaded with cool tricks using augmented reality.

The Batmobile, which has been introduced as a part of the Justice League, can be controlled with the help of an iOS or Android device. The highlight of the toy is the dash cam that is added. This cam is placed in the cockpit and gives a view of what the driver, in this case, Batman, could see.

The good news does not end here. The cockpit of the vehicle can fit a real Batman action figure which is included with the car. It is a known fact that the Batman is fully articulated and so his limbs will move along with the vehicle. To put things in perspective, it will appear as the toy Batman is driving the toy Batmobile. The cherry on top of the cake is that the Batmobile also has a genuine exhaust that comes out of the rear, reported Engadget.

To make things clear, the Batmobile does not burn gas. The sweet smelling exhaust is because of a few drops of glycerol in the tank. It is a harmless oil which is sugar based and the exhaust does not create any harm, reported Autoblog.

The action that the toy offers is impressive through its augmented reality features. The drive is made very thrilling as it will appear as though weapons are hurled at a chosen target and the vehicle can zip through obstacles.

If it is perceived that the Batmobile is for kids, it is not true. It is priced at $250 and it is intended for a collector. The Batmobile will be available from October just in time for Justice League.
