The Batpod is Batman’s two-wheeled vehicle, and Chung’s replica is an impressive 3 meters long, 80cm wide, 90cm high and weighs a hefty 250kg. Constructed mainly of iron, with a steel chassis and plastic armrests and guns, it is powered by an electric engine that can propel it to a top speed of 30km/h. The DIY Batpod is designed with road safety in mind, making it a unique and impressive ride on the streets of Hanoi.

Chung estimates that the entire project cost around 200 million dong ($8,500), which is relatively cheap for such a cool-looking vehicle. Most of that came from the student’s cosplay costume business. He’s been watching The Dark Knight since he was a child, always dreaming of getting his hands on a superhero’s vehicle, and now he’s made that dream a reality.

As an alumnus of the Hanoi University of Architecture, he was able to apply his technical skills and knowledge to create a functional and unique vehicle. He also worked with a team of friends, demonstrating the power of collaboration and community in achieving a shared goal.
