Only you and maybe 20 other people in the world will ever notice some of the things you are referring to and to notice those things you have to get close, detailed pics. So if you don't like it, don't buy. If you can make one better and more accurate, then go ahead! Otherwise you are just complaining to complain to a large group of people that don't care. I'm sure you can find a forum somewhere that will totally respect and appreciate that you noticed the angle of the fender was .25 degrees off from the full production car, and you guys can have a blast joking and laughing at how completely terrible and hideous this is. You just aren't going to get that kind of validation from people here. So why waste your energy and our time by continuing to complain about it?
Of course you know the 89 one was silver and the Returns one was black, right? It is also the wrong color. They should have just called it the Returns Batmobile.

Here is a photo of the 89 Batmobile in the shop after it was molded and painted. Straight from the website of the guy that sculpted it's body.

Man, that is a very, very, very, VERY dark shade of silver.
He is correct, it wasn't black on set.
But who cares, their end goal of wanting to make it look black workedl
They can also keep their Nike emblem on the production shoe thank you very much.

They didn't paint it the color they did so it would look black. They painted it that color so it would show up on film better at night. If they really wanted it to look black, why make it a metallic color that shifted color like a beetle from silver to green to blue?
It wasn't black for the same reason then painted gun metal on Vader's helmet, FOR CONTRAST. It suppose to be black, but they have to find a way for it to show on film, It's called HOLLYWOOD MAGIC. You suppose to believe it's black and not go by what it really is in real life. Just like your suppose to believe an 5'8" Stallone is bigger then life, or an 5'7" Keaton is a 6' Bat. You guys who confuse real life with Film Magic need to get a grip with your 'realism'. You forgot how to see thing through the eyes of a child. That's when most of you fell in love with Batman and The Batmobile. You would never be allowed back into Never Never Land, your too grown up.
Blackthornone is right, its not accurate. Ertl/Hot Wheels made the most accurate Batmobile to date. I thought this was established back in July
Ill take HT's 95% accurate 1/6 Batmobile than a 0% no Batmobile any day of the week.

I don't recall the color of the Batmobile ever mentioned in the film. They never said it was black in the movie. People might have assumed it was black, but since I saw pics of the car in good lighting showing it to be silver and the guy who helped build the car said it wasn't black before I ever saw the movie, I was never under the impression that the car was anything but silver from the very beginning. I suppose because other people weren't as into the Batmobile as I was, they never took time to investigate like I did before they saw the movie, and so they made a false assumption based on no real evidence that the car was black. The Batwing was black, and it was filmed at night in the same movie, too. If you any had memory at all, you would notice that the two vehicles were distinctly different colors in the movie. Since they made the Batwing black, surely they could have painted the Batmobile black as well. The lighting conditions were identical. Explain to me why the Batwing was black and the Batmobile silver.
It's The Batmobile, ever Batmobile has been black. It's not rocket science.
