It took Nguyen Dac Chung 3 years to conceive the idea and another 3 years to design the vehicle. Beyond mere display, the Batman vehicle can also hit the road thanks to a large-displacement motorcycle engine.
Nguyen Dac Chung (born in 1998), known not only in the Hanoi cosplay scene but also for being the first to own the Vietnamese version of the Batman 'super car'.
To achieve the sleekness seen in Christopher Nolan's 3 Batman movies, Dac Chung spent 3 years conceptualizing, 10 months constructing the frame and electronics, and over 2 years perfecting the vehicle.
The making of the Batman 'super car' by the 1998-born young man.
Chung meticulously handcrafts the body shell using composite plastic material, while the frame is made from steel. Various components like tires and engines are sourced from overseas. Leveraging his architectural background, he applies diverse knowledge to enhance the vehicle's aesthetic appeal.
While primarily intended for display, the Vietnamese version of the Batman vehicle is fully functional for regular driving. Hence, Chung prioritizes safety features. The front wheels are equipped with disc brakes, while the rear ones use drum brakes.
Additionally, the Batmobile is equipped with a 360-degree camera system and four display screens to facilitate easier driving.
The suspension system of the Batmobile comprises four front shocks and two rear shocks. The engine, sourced from a large-displacement motorcycle, features a four-cylinder, 400cc capacity. The SC Project exhaust pipe, centrally positioned at the rear, mimics a jet engine. Dual tires imported from South Korea give the vehicle a powerful and imposing appearance, reminiscent of its cinematic counterpart. Moreover, the vehicle features a 5-speed gearbox and reverse gear. The rear spoiler utilizes pneumatic technology for adjustable height.
Throughout the fabrication process, Chung encountered numerous challenges due to limited capital and manpower. However, he consistently motivated himself by reflecting on the initial inspiration. Additionally, with the encouragement of his family and friends, he ultimately realized his dream vehicle. Looking ahead, Chung aims to continue creating functional moving models and pioneering unique designs yet unseen in Vietnam.
To sustain his passion and undertake various other ambitious projects, Chung operates a specialized store dedicated to designing and producing cosplay items. Each product ranges from 15 to 20 million Vietnamese dong.
Thanks to his artistic talent, meticulous nature, and dedication to his work, Chung's creations are highly regarded by the cosplay community.
Warner Bros. confirms the production of The Batman 2, maintaining the original cast after the success of the first installment.
