    Why don’t all cops drive around in cars with their name and face plastered all over the side?

      You’d think they would in order to strike fear in the hearts of criminals.

        They should have to display cute lil nicknames beneath the driver’s side window, like fighter pilots.

        Unlike fighter pilots, the nicknames should be community generated.

    Am I the only one who thinks its kinda cool? I mean, within the comic lore it’s absurd that he would drive this, but from a consumer standpoint, it’s pretty cool.

      I guess if it was part of some sort of DC/Hot Wheels series where all the cars were like that, but it didn’t appear to be. I mean if there was a Joker one and a Robin one and so on, maybe. But there wasn’t.

      I assumed it was “Harley Quinn” Jim Gordon because THAT Jim absolutely would. He’s a damn good cop.

      It would be fun because that would be the car that you smash into everything and constantly shit on in your imaginary Story.

    Hot Wheels has Marvel series of cars too and took picture of this “well known” one recently.

      Yes, he apparently drives around in a car with his name and face on the side.

      Batman doesn’t need four doors, so neither does Gordon!

            Just as Gordon started to sing along and drum on the wheel, the suspect leaned forward to press the skip button with their nose.

            ‘Try me’, Jim cried, ‘Try me once more and I’d drop you to the BatTaxi’.

            ~ Jump cuts of Batman doing a barrel roll in a ridiculously small black cab with jet engines ~

            ‘I don’t applaud his methods’, said Gordon, ‘But sometimes I think he’s got the point’

            Jim puts on the same song and glances at the frightened suspect right in their eyes.

          No worries. The front seat folds down so he can still put them in the back.
