On July 27, both Matthew Bartoszek and Rich Bartoszek had the chance to sit in Batman's favorite ride as it was displayed outside of Lakewood Family Eye Care in Lakewood Ranch as part of the Back-to-School Trunk Show.
Matthew felt a bit odd just putting his hands on it. His dad was enjoying it just as much.
"This is the Batmobile! Nothing else can compare to this," Rich said.
