Batman Comes To Darien Batman Comes To Darien Batman Comes To Darien
Batman Comes To Darien Keep your eyes peeled for the Dark Knight around Darien. This vintage Batmobile, modeled after the car from the classic '60s television show starring Adam West, was spotted at the Gulf Station on the corner of the Post Road and Corbin Drive early Friday morning.

Have you seen the Batmobile driving around Darien on Friday? Tell us where you spotted it on Facebook and Twitter!
