The Batmobile inspired by the 1989 Batman film got stuck on the shoulder of a road in Houston, Texas, on Thursday afternoon after one of the tires blew out. The vehicle was spotted around 4:30 PM, in the Webster area, near El Dorado Boulevard, and amused the drivers passing by.

The car's owner is Dr. Abdulla Kudrath, who is also known on social media as an entrepreneur, model, and car collector. According to ABC News, Kudrath participated in a supercar meet in early August.

Kudrath stated that he owns one of only two Batmobile replicas in Texas. In a video posted on social media, he said he traded his Ferrari 458 for the vehicle and claimed to have no regrets. According to him, "you can always buy another 458, but you can't find one of these."
