VIDEO - Learn About Batman's BAT-POD From The Dark Knight Movie

One of the coolest things about the last Batman film, The Dark Knight, was the amazing BAT-POD Motorcycle. This thing was totally custom & very well designed. I mean, it was CRAZY! Shown here are 2 Videos that are sort of like mini-documentaries. They both cover information about the vehicle movie prop in high detail & are also very entertaining to watch, enjoy.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie Wallpapers - CATWOMAN & BATMOBILE

For this week's "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" I thought I would post a few Batman Backgrounds that celebrate the new 2012 movie, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. So, here are a few scenes when they were filming in Pittsburgh.

The 1st one show Selina Kyle ( Anne Hathaway's Stunt Double ) stealing the Bat-Pod from Gotham City University. I wish this was Anne Hathaway in the official Catwoman Cat-Suit ( no release of that Costume photo yet, but stay tuned to the Bat-Blog.Com ). I think that this is only what she wears early on to steal the vehicle.

OK, speaking of Bat-Vehicles, the next wallpaper is of the Tumbler Batmobile, which will make an early appearance in the film too. Also, it's the "Camouflage" version. I guess it's not been painted black yet, ha!

THE TUMBLER TOUR Hits Montreal Canada!

I have been meaning to post these photos for a few days but just keep getting side-tracked. But I'm happy to be finally posting them now. These were sent to us a few days ago by a major Batman Fan named Paul who lives in Canada. Paul was lucky enough to get to see the TUMBLER TOUR while it was in Montreal and he shot us these incredible photos at the event. As you can see they had the original Tumbler Batmobile Car AND the Bat-Pod Motorcycle, both of which can be seen in THE DARK KNIGHT Batman Movie. These vehicles will also make an appearance in the next "RISES" film. ( We can't wait to see that! ) Oh yeah, he had a great time and it's funny, he wore his Classic 1966 Batmobile T-Shirt. Heck yeah Paul, Representin'!! Also, Thanks for sharing your fun pics, I appreciate that very much.

Everybody is Riding in BATMAN BAT-VEHICLES Except Me!

OK, I am totally consumed with both envy and jealousy and these are not good feelings to have, ha ha! Check out these 2 pics. First, Our Good Friend Lisa ( also known as BatChick ) recently got to fly in the Original 1960's Batman Movie Batcopter!! This ultra-cool Bat-Vehicle was at the recent NJ State Fair. Yes, that's Captain Gene Nock in the photo too, the Pilot! I'm JEALOUS!!

Next, all the way around the world, in Dublin, Ireland, our Friend Mark went to the TUMBLER TOUR and got to jump on the Original Bat-Pod Motorcycle from the Christopher Nolan Batman movies!! Yes, this is the actual one that appeared in THE DARK KNIGHT movie and will probably also be the one used for the DARK KNIGHT RISES film as well. Look at that expression on his face, priceless! Arrgghh! OK, I'm actually very happy for both of them, ha!
