Famous Batmobiles compete in bat-ass drag race

3/22/2012

That sound you just heard? A collective worldwide nerdgasm thanks to this video of two iconic Batmobiles racing side-by-side on a makeshift dragstrip. Super Power Beat Down host Marisha Ray pits the 1966 Batmobile from the Adam West TV series against the Michael Keaton version from the 1989 movie.

Who wins the race? Just watch the video above.
