This man spent two years creating a perfect working replica of the 1989 Batmobile

29-year-old Batman fanatic, Zac Mihajlovic of Camden, Australia, hand built this high-octane street legal version of the iconic car from the 1989 film starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Admirers from across the world, including a Sheik in Dubai, have offered Zac big bucks for his Batmobile. But rather than cash-in on his dream machine, this real-life superhero has decided to use his powers for good by teaming up with the Make-A-Wish foundation to make dream’s come true for terminally-ill children.

This fan trailer for Captain America: Winter Soldier took the internet by storm

The Evil Dead will rise again in a 10 episode TV series starring Bruce Campbell

When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, chainsaw-handed stock boy Ash Williams is finally forced to face his demons, literally. Set to premiere on Starz in 2015, Ash Sam Raimi Vs. Evil Dead reunites original filmmaker, Sam Raimi, who will direct the first episode, and star, Bruce Campbell, who will reprise his most iconic role. Groovy.

Coming Soon to Sideshow Collectibles…
