"We'll show you what just blew past me in a few minutes, because now it's time to put a star in our reasonably-priced car. He's a billionaire playboy, a part-time superhero, the head of a multinational industrial corporation, and a much, much bigger petrol head than Bruce Wayne. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Tony Stark!"
(He placed third on the leader board, after Han Solo and Wally West, and just ahead of Lois Griffin.)

OH GEE WHAT COULD JAMES POSSIBLY BE DRIVING THAT CAN TURN UP SO SUDDENLY.

I cannot believe how much rage was involved in the creation of Page Two. First of all, drawing Richard is difficult and frustrating. But since I watched that one episode where they had the Tumbler from the Christian Bale Batman movies in their studio, well... I was disappointed to see Richard getting all fanboy-excited over a vehicle that is CLEARLY NOT A BATMOBILE, but I would have forgiven it since the one who actually called it a Batmobile was James. But then, they went on to show the ranks for their Best Driving Song poll... when I saw "Bat Out Of Hell" at the top, I cheered. Paused the episode, even, so I wouldn't miss anything. Then, unpaused it to see Richard and Jeremy BEGGING the public to vote it out, which is nothing short of blasphemy - bad enough that Richard had already been knocking Radar Love (another damn good song, driving or otherwise), but hearing him go on to bad-mouth the song that was GOING to be playing on the Batmobile stereo - was nothing short of a kick in the teeth. Erasing it, even to change it to the actual Batman theme, made me feel - and I'm not exaggerating in the slightest - dirty and wrong.

To be fair, listening to the actual lyrics of Bat Out Of Hell instead of just the melody and awesome Steinman piano, it IS a pretty depressing song - and if they'd cited that as their reason for not liking it as a driving song, I could have forgiven them. Well, they didn't. To paraphrase Yahtzee's review of Portal, FUCK YOU, MEAT LOAF'S GREAT AND IF YOU DON'T THINK SO YOU MUST BE STUPID.

Batman and the Batmobile belong to DC Comics.
Top Gear belongs to the BBC.
Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond belong to themselves.
