Batman is a monster truck currently competing on the USHRA circuit, where it is the 2008 Monster Jam World Racing Champion. The truck is officially licensed by DC Comics and has a replica of the Batmobile as the body. It is currently driven by John Seasock and debuted with Jason Childress driving in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2006. It has also competed in three Monster Jam World Finals, and won racing in both the 2007 and 2008 events.
[edit] World Finals Appearances
So far, Batman has made two appearances in the World Finals. Both years shared a different driver. In 2006, Jason Childress (former driver) drove it. Then in 2007, John Seasock (current driver) drove it and took home the World Finals Racing Championship. The truck repeated the feat and retained the World Racing Championship in 2008.
