Air Hogs Remote Control Batmobile

** A Geek Daddy received the featured product for free **

While Batman and Superman may be dueling it out in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justicee one thing these two caped crusaders must be able to agree upon is that the batmobile in the movie is pretty darn cool!  You don't need to be a billionaire playboy with a secret super hero identity to have some fun with the batmobile though thanks to Spin Master Toys.  Spin Master's AIR HOGS Batman vs Superman Official Movie Replica Remote Control Batmobile puts you in control of this amazing vehicle from the blockbuster film.


It's a bird, it's a plane...it's the Batmobile?!  This RC toy worked great indoors and outdoors; flying across our hardwood floors and carpet inside while racing down the sidewalk and through the dirt outdoors as well.  It even soared off our patio flying onto the grass and kept on going giving Superman a run for his money when it comes to flying.



While the toy is recommended for 8+ my seven year old twins were both able to easily steer it having fun imagining racing around the streets of Gotham City as Batman.  While many remote control toys now use apps on smart phones to control the RC vehicles, I appreciated that this Air Hogs version comes with its own sturdy controller that provides a nice connection for guiding the batmobile. While the car is fairly easy to guide we still had our fair share of collisions with curbs, trees, chairs and a variety of other hazards while playing around with it plus a few flips and crashes from attempted jumps so it is nice that this toy is very durably built.  The Air Hogs RC Batmobile took all the abuse my kids gave it and just kept on going .. .now that really is value for your dollar!  As a parent who has seen a fair share of easily broken toys disappoint his kids,  I was truly impressed by the quality of this remote control vehicle.


The Batmobile's authentic Batman vs Superman movie design features incredible brushed metal  detail.  It also features four really bright front mounted LED headlights that directionally track wherever you steer the batmobile.



The backside of the batmobile features a rear LED that glows red to portray the vehicle's after-burner from the movie.


The 2.4 GHz remote control works from a decent distance away from the batmobile and only requires 2AA batteries.  The batmobile itself is powered by a USB rechargeable battery so it is easy to power up by plugging it into a computer or an electrical wall socket convertor.  YES! I love it when you don't have to keep replacing batteries in a toy!



If you know a kid, or kid at heart, that is a fan of comic books and super heroes you will absolutely want to check out the AIR HOGS Batman vs Superman Official Movie Replica Remote Control Batmobile.  Our family has genuinely had a great experience and lots of fun playing with this toy.  This RC Batmobile will be a toy that we'll be playing with long after doing this review.

  1. That looks like it would be a lot of fun for kids. Did you know they filmed part of the new Batman movie here in Detroit? The Batmobile was sighted downtown a few times.
