The Huffington Post shares the news that the original Batmobile just sold for $4.2 million.

The 19-foot-long black, bubble-topped car used in the 1960s "Batman" TV show sold at auction Saturday.

The car's owner – auto customizer George Barris, of Los Angeles – transformed a one-of-a-kind 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car into the sleek crime-fighting machine.
