Here is The Batmobile doing donuts on (fake) snow, as a rehearsal for a later action scene, which I’ll put up in the coming days 😏 so watch out for it…

During World War I, German soldiers gave the kilted Scottish troops a chilling nickname: "Die Damen vom Höllen"or The Ladies from Hell. The Germans had never seen men wearing kilts into battle before. At first, it looked strange, but once the fighting started, the Germans realised these men in "skirts" were incredibly fierce and fearless.
