Ring-ring-ring Batphone!

So this new AbleComm spinoff RedHotPhones is selling tons and tons of phones -- all red -- including replicas "inspired by Batman". Definitely not the amazing new Christopher Nolan retelling, we're talking original campy-ass 60s Batman. We're not sure what kind of person would spend $112 on a novelty landline-phone with no way to dial out (probably the same people that bought the $300 Shakespeare bust back in the day), but buy it fast, we heard the mayor of Quahog, Rhode Island is filing suit.

Actually... that is so perfect for my landline that I only use for DSL and still have to pay for local and long distance and FBI spy charges!!!! MAn, i would bite if it was $60

If it could be used as a bluetooth handset right out of the box, I'd pay $100. I hope some enterprising soul out there takes heed.

Haha, I just noticed that the article is tagged as "redhotphones." A lonely tag it will be.

This would be could if you have Grand Central. You can initate the call outs from your computer...

If you had the money for this phone, and the patience for that kind of set up. :-P

It can improve your pulse dialing skills...

I would buy it if it were a SIP phone, just to put on my desk here at work. :)

Adam West = Batman & Mayor of Quahog.

The original Batman wasn't campy. Only recently have they gotten back to the dark, vengeful roots of the character. The campiness was just a terrible little detour.

You can dial out, but only if your a phreak...
