For gearheads, Batman is clearly the best superhero. It's nothing to do with the cape, nor having the appearance and skills of a nocturnal flying creature, oh no - it's because his favourite method of transportation has always been a cool car. From a modified Lincoln Futura concept car in the cheesy TV series through to the tank-like vehicle in the Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne's alter ego knows how to rock up in style. One Batman fan wanted to do the same, but to him a wolf in sheep's clothing powered by a regular internal combustion engine would never do. That's why Casey Putsch equipped his...

Online car sales sites have transformed the way we buy and sell cars.
