Move over Batmobile, there's a new menacing machine in town. As one piece in a collection of superhero-inspired Kia vehicles, the automaker and DC Entertainment have created and revealed a Batman-themed Kia Optima SX Limited.


Decked out in a matte black finish with oversized piano black Batman logos, the custom Optima easily stands out as a crime-fighting machine. From underneath the vehicle's low-ridden belly, yellow LED lights shine forth and complement yellow Batman symbols stitched throughout the interior. To make the "Dark Kia" as powerful as its source of inspiration, Kia engineers have given the machine the following special additions:


  • Ksport performance brakes with bigger rotors and calipers
  • custom 20-inch wheels
  • performance exhaust system
  • batwing-shaped front grille

Sound like your comic-book fantasy come true? Well, there are plenty more to come. As Lancaster Kia mentioned earlier, the Batman-themed Optima will be joined by other Kia autos, each one designed to reflect a Justice League superhero. Think Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, etc...


Not only will the inventive vehicle showcase the automaker's creativity, but each will be sold to support the "We Can Be Heroes" campaign. Started by the comic-book creators at DC, the initiative works hard to raise awareness and end hunger in the Horn of Africa.


With the reveal of the next Kia comic auto just around the corner, be sure to park it right here. Our team in Lancaster, PA will put forth the latest information and intriguing details right as they come our way.
