The 2016 Toy Fair kicks off Saturday in New York City.

The annual event at the Javits Center showcases new toys from hundreds of companies ranging from Mattel to Hasbro.

This is my first official year attending the entire affair. I stopped by Warner Bros. consumer products' booth Friday evening for a preview look at some toys from the upcoming film "Batman v Superman." But the biggest draw was that DC and Warner Bros. brought in one of the actual Batmobiles used on the set of "Batman v Superman" to the event.

I was able to spend a good amount of time with the vehicle up close and personal before the crowds start descending upon it. 

Keep reading to learn about the new car Batman will be driving around on the big screen next month.

Say hello to the new Batmobile.

This is one of two vehicles which was used for filming "Batman v Superman." The other one, we were told, is currently in London.

It weighs over 7,000 pounds.

The front has twin .50 caliber retractable machine gun turrets. Do they fire rubber bullets or kryptonite? That's the real question.

Yes, it is drivable. We were told it can go up to 90 mph.

Unfortunately, because of how wide it is, it's not street legal.

The fictional car in "Batman v Superman" can go much faster — up to 205 mph.

The car is 20 feet long and 12 feet wide, is fully armored, and is stealth capable. Maybe we'll see it try and blend in with the background in the new film.

Notice anything weird in there? Yeah, it looks like a few Apple plugs are keeping the electronics running in this thing.
