JT and the Batmobile

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

BatmobileSo check this out.  Last month I was in LA attending the CTIA conference, and as I’m walking to my hotel, I see a trailer truck drive by carrying the Batmobile (the one from Batman Begins). I see it, and think to myself, “Self.  Is that the Batmobile?  It sure is!  And I’m here in LA.  And they are making a sequel to Batman Begins (Batman Begins Again). That must be a prop from the new movie. Suh-weet!” (sp?)

BatmobileI happened to be carrying my good ol Canon SD700 (with its wonderfully amazing shutter speed), and grabbed a bunch of pictures.  I’m figuring I’ve got one of them there “movie scoops” and get closer and closer.  To my utter amazement, the truck stops about a half a block down from my hotel!

Now, on a bit of a personal high, I walk into the hotel to pick up my bags. 

And there, in the lobby, guess what I saw!!!

A whole bunch of Warner Brothers props for some party. No scoop for JT. :(
