‘It’s unbelievable’: N.B. man brings Batmobile to superhero fanatic
CTV
Bernie Hicks, known as the ‘Batman of Amherst,’ always wanted to sit in a Batmobile until a kind stranger made it happen.
He knew it was coming, but when the Batmobile pulled up to his house Bernie Hicks was still a little surprised.
“That’s not something you see up here very often,” said Hicks.
Known as the ‘Batman of Amherst,’ Hicks has always wanted to sit in a Batmobile. Thanks to the kindness of a stranger he got to do that on Sunday.
The replica Batmobile was built by Donald McHugh of Bouctouche, N.B., who spent a little over two years making it. The body is a 1979 Lincoln Town Car that he found in New Jersey and the chassis is from Saskatchewan.
“It’s fun. It’s the dream of a lot of young boys,” said McHugh. “There’s a bunch of different things in there. There’s a lot of custom-made parts of course and we did what we could. It looks decent.”
McHugh heard about Hicks about a year ago when he was working on the car and when the project was complete he decided to seek him out.
“I was thinking he’d be the perfect person to see this,” said McHugh.
