Batman Down Under

USPA NEWS - When interviewed on the Iconic Podcast 'BATMANLAND' by hosts Dan and Nick the first question asked was why did he build a Batmobile to begin with?
"It was the first movie that clicked with me... I was like any kid. I had all of the toys,"
The idea to build a Batmobile came to Zac in his early 20's. Zac Mihajlovic´s automotive passion started at a very young age getting in trouble for drawing Supercars in his English book. With the help of his Grandfather John Greene a retired mechanical engineer he restored cars, motorcycles and eventually combined forces with Scotty Cox and recreated the 1989 Batmobile which he uses for various events and is a Proud Ambassador of the Make a wish Foundation.

Locals around Cobbitty a small village of the Macarthur Region near the town of Camden in Sydney's southwest have become accustomed to seeing Zac cruising around in his street legal Batmobile. Modeled after the Tim Burton movie starring Michael Keaton in 1989 starring Michael Keaton. Zacaria built the impressive beast of a street machine that looks and feels exactly like the Batmobile with permission from Warner Movies as many parts were purchased by Zacaria from the studios junk yard in Hollywood before the project began. This included the original molds used to make the actual film cars mostly destroyed in the making of the blockbuster.

Warner Bros, who own the rights to Batman through DC Comics have come to an agreement with Zac to allow him to continue to use their intellectual property. "I got permission to build the car and they were cool with that because I had original parts and I could show them some of the other things I had made. They didn't realise how much interest there would be with this. I started to do a couple of videos which got a few million hits. So, then I got a call from Burbank and they asked what was going on because I was doing the odd birthday party. They were very worried about what Batman would say to kids. It's obviously a very protected character. There's things you can't say as the character of Batman. You can't be inappropriate in any way. "I had to be the right height, I could do the accent. Batman is over six foot, so that was important," Zac said. While Warner Brothers tends to look the other way with people performing at birthday parties as Batman, the fact he has such a legitimate-looking Batmobile lends his work an authenticity that would generally only come from people affiliated with the movies and with his $10,000 costume he is the perfect fit of any corporate event.

From Batmobile to the Zacaria SC. “I´ve always wanted to design and build my own supercar. With the help of Scotty Cox and my Grandfather John Greene my vision of a street legal f1 hot rod will unveil at Top Marques Monaco on the 30th of May 2019,“ said Zacaria. It has been 5 years in the making.
