I was watching the latest Batman movies and noticed that Batman is running sprintcar or silver crown tires on the front of the Batmobile. I say let's give him a few laps at Terre Haute and see if he can lift the left front!:applaud:

That batmobile is sitting in the Indianapolis Childrens Museum comic book exibit now. They are indeed Hoosier RR tires.

I noticed those on the Batman Begins movie, so starting watching even closer to those tires when the Dark Night came out. There's one point in the movie, if you pause it at the right time, (sorry, can't tell you what time that it) you can see where they scrubbed down the Hoosier emblem off the sidewall.

I pointed it out to my wife at the movie theater, and the look she gave me could be interpretted as either "who cares" or "shut up, I'm watching the movie". It was dark, so I couldn't tell which. :O:

The rest of us noticed 3 years ago.

In at least one of the promo photos of the Batmobile you could see "Hoosier" on the sidewall.
