Batman 89 Bat Tracker

[Valor]

I built this 89 Bat Gadget that is only slightly featured in the film. You can see it on his Weapons Door. Apparently there was a scene that was cut that would have featured it.

I need this!!! When's the run!!! It will go great with your spear guns in my display...

When was this prop used in the movie? I’ve seen this prop before, but I don’t recall him tracking anything! Looks great!

It wasn't. It was from a cut scene. Not sure if it was ever shot.

Faaaaaantastic!

Did you look into the possibility of having the antennae section slide into the main body.

ooks like it was designed to do so but I can see how that might also get in the way of having a glorious blinky light!

 

[Valor]

Yeah, If I did there would be very little room inside. Blinky lights always win!!

I've never seen this in the movie (and I thought I went over all of the gadgets on the weapons door). Amazing work, now I want one!

I can help with that

I made a Version 2 ... tweaks based on I some better pics that I received. Specifically the butt of the handle. I had thought it was a second, chrome piece. Clearly it's not a separate piece but was a highlight from a curved end.

Also you gotta make the "Tracer" pod that goes along with it from the concept art to go full mega obscure obsessive.

Just a little chamfered disc with a batsymbol or maybe just a dark shiny element in the center of it.

The little antennae rod looks like it might be silver colored. Or maybe that's just a shine.

Oh wow! Is that maybe the tracer in his palm in this shot? I never noticed that before now!

 

[nick daring]

At one point I actually searched around to find a clicking counter that match the font and style of the rotating numbers on this prop and the bomb. It'd be fun to have an found object incorporated in the two props to connect them.

You can even see on the handset where the fourth number has been covered up, which is weird since a fourth number is present on the original concept sketch. Maybe they had to remove that number wheel because the pointed shape of the prop got too narrow.

nick daring I never notices the little tracer in the drawing. Neat. And I also went down the rabbit hole looking at mechanical counters. Nothing seems to fit the size and proportion needs for either.
