Vintage or recreation/Retro photo??

Post by A. Pennyworth »

Opinions and/or information on this image. Has it been posted before? The suit, person, the Batmobile. Things look off on the Batmobile to make it vintage 60's but can't be sure as there there is only this one image. Someone saw image on another site and posted it to Eric's Batmobile FB page and he relayed it to me. Any opinions appreciated.

Looks like 2 pairs of gloves on the left hand. Also the face is off, but the resolution is too poor.

It’s probably “Brand Ech”

Same car and actor from "Batman's Last Ride". Even the Emergency Bat-turn Lever is in the same position.

I thought about "The Last Ride" but the cowl looks different, the car perhaps. I thought maybe a promo for that small film but again the suit is wrong.

Tom Woodruff and his Batmobile were part of a DC 75th Anniversary book event in Beverly Hills back on Dec 15th in 2010. Almost to the day! I was there to help assist Tom and take photos for him. I almost thought I took that picture but it was taken by somebody else at the event. Tom was also the star and creator of the "One Last Ride" video West Fan shared. Tom is sporting a Wally cowl, btw. He later got a Chuck cowl and better costume.

Here's one that I took that night.

I'm not sure who Tom is shaking hands with but he seemed to be friends with the OTHER guy on the left.

And then THIS bozo had to get a picture with Batman.

He's shaking hands with former DC Publisher Paul Levitz, who would be friends with Stan Lee.

Thanks Scott, always know I can get the answers here! It was such a great photo it almost had us fooled, but I just couldnt place the date or event or person. I've passed the info along to Eric.
