Scalextric Batmobile The Batman 2022

I got one for Christmas...
rear tyres:
take AAAAAAAGES to true, don't react to any tyre treatment I've tried and are useless on our painted wood track
I would have replaced them with a pair of MG Vanquish Supergrips from NSR as they're huge wheels, 14mm wide...but none available in the UK
...made do with a pair of NSR Classic Rear Tyres 21x12.5 Supergrips - about 1mm smaller in diameter than the trued kit tyres but this has loads of ground clearance to spare and a known good tyre compound on most if not any track surface
...testing on Thursday for an upcoming TV/Film car night

What I would like to know is, where is this elusive Batmobile dealership? This guy trades in his car for a new one every movie. Who's buying his old trade-ins?
To me there is only one Batmobile, and it's from the TV show from the 60's.

Yes I like the 60's Batmobile and don't like any of the others until this one...

It has squared off egdes like a Cadillac, and a hint of a Batmobile.
So... it's a Battillac?

Apparently based on a 1969 Dodge Charger...so a...Badger...or maybe a Bodger
