Mattel - Ultimate Justice League Batmobile - Black

We picked up ours last week. Production quality is excellent, and detailing is VERY impressive. Operation is intuitive, and it takes a bit of practice to get used to it's speed. Some people will complain because of the lack of an included remote control, but because of the augmented reality on tablets and phones, this would have easily added 50% more to the price. (It broadcasts it's own wifi which you connect to.) Its an excellent display item, and when you consider Hot Toys items similar size for hundreds more, including the rc functions in this are a jaw dropping value. I didn't rate this a full 5 stars for a few reasons: In the prototype video, they showed full read working suspension... on the final product, they went with a solid less accurate back end... I'm guessing to reduce production costs, but also to improve the reliability of the rear smoke system. The description lists streaming, and these days we assume that means live streaming, however this does not live stream. it means streaming the video from the car to your phone screen, so that was a let down. Another missing app feature is saving the video from the car.. fortunately there are other apps you can install that will record it for you. Another issue with the app, is the animated overlays of the guns and canon firing are superimposed on top of the camera feed... but if the canopy is on and closed (Which you really want for appearance.) the animations overlay inside of the cockpit! Hopefully they will update the app with an option that has the overlay clipped if you have the cockpit on and closed. The manual lists adjusting steering as being in the app, however its no where to be found... I'm calling Mattel today to find out how to adjust it, because ours has more left turn than right.. The included Batman figure has loose joints on his arms to allow for the "controlling the car" appearance which works great, but they went cheap on his paint details... the standard figure its based from looks tons better. Even with these nits, this is easily one of the best Batmobiles in my collection, and if you have any interest in this, get one before they are gone! While this would make a really fun toy under the tree for kids at Christmas, Its too fast and large for indoor use, I think, and considering the price, I'm not sure if its a good toy value for kids, but it is excellent for collectors. (They do make a slightly smaller non RC version of this for about $60 that might be a better value purchase for kids.)

Very well-built vihecle. Exact replica of the batmobile love how you control everything with your iPhone.

The built quality is awesome. The app works ok but improvement can be done. The biggest thing this is missing is the capability to record camera footage.

Purchased it, but the 1st one had a problem with the switch. Exchanged it and now the second one has an issue with the hotspot setup and app. The look and quality is amazing. I just wish I could use it.

Other than the impressive size and heft, the detail is great! Solidly built, with only a few things that can pop on and off. My first impressions were, for the most part good! But nothing is perfect and now that I’ve had hands on time, I have a better idea of what would make this closer to perfection. The app controls are good, but being app controlled through wifi gives this more latency than needed, range is good but when this thing picks up speed, and it can go pretty fast, you want precision or this 20+lbs batmobile will knock over chairs or dent walls. Also, the little toggles on the app are never a good option to me as you constantly have to keep referencing where your fingers are. Turn radius blows but that might also reflect the original 1:1 design, hence 3 or 12 point turns, while using the app controls... the AR effects are pretty neat, the steering wheel moving is a plus since Batman’s arms will move with it to a degree but honestly I have other Batman figures that would be a better fit. The onboard camera is also located behind Batman’s shoulder in the cockpit, so realistically, you can only drive it around with the cockpit hatch open, and while it is removable I gave it a good tug and it didn’t break free. Maybe the bottom of a chair or couch will do it for me... the rumbling sound is so cool to listen to, sounds like a bored out big block, but it’s also very loud as it just idles. I wish there was options in the app to control the volume or toggle on and off altogether. The smoke effect is really cool, its just unfortunately it’s even louder than the rumbling of the “motor” so everytime you accelerate you hear a loud whine for the smoke machine. This is also a constant on function with or w/o the smoke solution. The app can only lets you turn it on or off while idling. Other than these things, this will be an awesome display piece with my Batfleck era stuff.

Purchased this because it was on sale.. good quality but it's not as easy to steer with your phone as the controller.

My 4 yr old received this for Christmas as a gift. It is such a cool toy but we didn't know until we opened the box that he was too young for it. The car has so many realistic features and the camera is great. I prefer to drive it without batman in the car for a better view. I would recommend this for a teen. We didn't return it because we opened it and didn't feel it was best buys fault for not reading the age recommendations, but I enjoy helping my son drive it. Definitely don't want to allow him to do it alone because it's not made to be constantly crashed. make sure you have lots of room to drive this.

Really cool RC car. Looks awesome driving around. Was really easy to setup and use. Works on WiFi, and really anywhere from what I can tell. It shows up as a joinable network under your WiFi settings and then you select it and are good to go. Sound effects and vape are a really cool feature. Have not figured out if I can turn the sound off but would be cool for stealth. The camera is a neat feature, it does however require the top to be open to see. Controls are easy to use, and become easier once you get used to it. It’s big, intimidating, and awesome.
