REPLICA BATMOBILE TOWED AWAY AFTER CITY JAUNT

A would-be Russian superhero returned to reality with a bump when police pulled him over as he drove a replica Batmobile through Moscow. The vehicle was too wide for the city’s streets and had not been certified as roadworthy, a Moscow interior ministry spokesman said on Tuesday. Police said the 32-yearold driver, whom it did not name, would be charged with violating traffic laws. The vehicle, which was stopped on Saturday in western Moscow, was towed away wrapped in tape and black plastic, footage released by police showed. It appeared to be a copy of the Batmobile from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. A life-size replica of the car from that film was put up for sale by its owner for $1.1 million, according to online media outlet The Village.
