Adam Savage Shows Off the Restored Original Batwing Model Used in Tim Burton's BATMAN
In a recent episode of Tested, Adam Savage visits the Prop Store where he’s treated with the opportunity to explore the incredible quarter-scale Batwing miniature that was used in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman movie!
This is the iconic Batwing model that was used for climatic flight sequence, restored to original working condition to showcase the practical motorized and lighting effects that were actually used in the film. It's one of the coolest pieces of prop history we've seen, looking like it flew right out of the silver screen!
This thing is seriously awesome! I remember playing with the toy version of this when I was a kid. I’ll always love that Batwing and after all these years, this is the best look that I’ve ever had at it! You get to see all the cool little details that we couldn’t really see in the movie.
