Unused Batman Returns "Batman Sled" Prop

[nickdaring]

Here is a weird one.

It never made it into the movie but it was in the script!



EXT. A DISPLAY WINDOW--EARLY EVENING OF THE CURRENT ERA

     A Batman logo fills the frame with a portentous soundtrack
     boom.  A playful salvo of snowballs reverberates against
     this image as the logo is revealed to be a hanging center-
     piece in the display window of a store that sells Batman
     sleds, lunch boxes, T-shirts, and ticking-to-twenty-
     before-Seven clocks.

and

An ALL-AMERICAN DAD holds up a bowed Batman sled to an
     ALL-AMERICAN MOM.  An ALL-AMERICAN SON rushes up causing
     All-American Dad to exaggeratedly hide the present behind
     his back.


and

A STRONGMAN COVERED IN TATTOOS emerges out of the box to
     slam the All-American Dad and swipe his Batman sled,
     which Strongman then uses to hammer down Santa Claus.


and

     EXT. BEFORE THE DEPARTMENT STORE--NIGHT

     Oblivious, Selina rushes out with Max's speech.

     A TRIO OF SCOWLING BIKERS buzz her to the ground.

     The Batman sled crunches against a frosty police wind-
     shield.  A disgruntled COMMISSIONER GORDON sputters out
     into his radio.

                             GORDON
               What are you waiting for?  The
               Signal!


This prop was made for the production by Rick Gamez- http://www.freewebs.com/ricksprops/index.htm

Also on his site is the Penguin Baby Cage.



I don't own these props but thought it would be a good place to post them.

That baby cage is pure burton ain't it!!

That scene with the bat-toys and sled would have tied in nicely with the un-used shots of the kids dressed up as batman at the end of B89.
