He snapped a four-year winless streak at Michigan in 2012 with a Batman “Dark Knight Rises” car.
Hendrick Motorsports and Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment announced a three-year deal last week, which among other marketing initiatives will feature specialized paint schemes with the likes of Batman, Flash, Green Lantern and other characters from the cavalcade of DC Comic superheroes on the cars of Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson.
