CHICAGO – Holy Batgasm! Exclusive! Photos schmotos. Sure, we have those of the official “The Dark Knight Rises” Tumbler and Bat-Pod at Chicago’s Navy Pier on May 25, 2012 as part of the film’s Tumbler Tour. What you really want, though, is to hear that beast of a machine rev its freaking brain out. HollywoodChicago.com has filmed just that for you below! Enjoy!
The first rev is weak as compared to the second. Make sure you watch 0:30 for the real deal! The Tumbler and Bat-Pod have been high-powered vehicles for Batman in Christopher Nolan’s earlier blockbusters. The Tumbler debuted in “Batman Begins” and the Bat-Pod was introduced in “The Dark Knight”. They will both be featured in different ways in “The Dark Knight Rises”.
