HOUSTON – Holy Houston! A Batmobile cruising down the street looks like something straight out of a comic book.
But the person behind this attention-grabbing ride may be even more surprising. When he’s not cruising the streets at night, Houston ER doctor Dr. Abdulla Kudrath is saving lives.
Kudrath has loved the Batman series since childhood. Now, years later, the doctor, entrepreneur and car collector is getting plenty of attention with the Batmobile he once dreamed of owning.
When the opportunity came, Kudrath made that dream a reality by trading one of his own vehicles for the iconic ride.
But the experience isn’t simply about owning an unusual car. Kudrath has found a way to use the Batmobile to connect with people and bring a little joy — especially to kids —wherever he goes.
So, what’s it really like to own and drive a Batmobile around Houston? Watch the video above to meet the man behind the wheel and hear the story behind the ride.
