Batman's Batpod Revealed!
Does this top the Tumbler?
Last time it was all the rage when the Tumbler first made its appearance as Batman's vehicle for Batman Begins, this time around it will be for his new crotch rocket, a.k.a. the Batpod.
LA Times has revealed Batman's new set of wheels, which will be featured in the upcoming The Dark Knight and the revelation has come complete with two pics of the vehicle as well as a clip from "The Today Show", which you can see here.
The Batpod as it is being called is Batman's motorcycle and Jean-Pierre Goy is the lucky stunt rider who's spent the last few months jumping Batman's newest batbike at some top-secret location in England.
The specs on the bike include grappling hooks, cannons and machine guns. The front and rear tires are both a monstrously huge 508 millimeters, and the engines are in the hubs of each wheel. Steering isn't by hand but by shoulder, since there aren't handlebars. Instead, there are shields that fit each arm like sleeves and have the ability to rotate around the bike's frame. The two foot pegs are set 3 1/2 feet apart on either side of the tank, which the rider lies on, belly down. It also moves up and down in case Batman needs to dodge bullets or slide under semis.
