Batman finds himself without a license and Batmobile
“The test went very well. Both were Dutch nationals. The driver admitted that he was driving too fast. » The couple was going to a Halloween costume party and each took off his mask. Batman and Catwoman thus found themselves without a Batmobile. They posed, without rancor, in front of the police.
Despite everything, they had to pay 750 euros for deposit and the Batmobile headed to the pound. The Dutch couple got into the tow truck which accompanied them to Charleville-Mézières, where they were able to find a new means of transport. Batman saw himself withdraw your license, at least for 72 hours.
