Cool, not seen the bat bike, seen batman and the joker and gang pictures.

Hearing nothing but good about this movies fiming the interest jokey choice apparently paying off becuase with the makeup hes acting like a proper insane (murder mastermind insane) and not (I am a silly villan, insane)

I really wish after batman 2 it did not go all silly, this batman returns and the original 2 show that batman works best in a darker film

Found more some more info.

The front and rear tires are both 508 millimeters, and the engines are in the hubs of each wheel. Steering isnt by hand but by shoulder.  It is outfitted with grappling hooks, cannons and machine guns  Apparantly its dubbed the "batpod".

The grappling hooks sound about right...

I still remember the first footage the tumbler in just its chasis, you wouldnt think it would go/handle like that tbh.

Might ask to move this to cars & bikes in a bit.....
