With the release of The Dark Knight just days away, I thought I’d post some up-close pics of the bat-pod and the batmobile from The Dark Knight.  These were revealed last year, but we get to see them in action in about a week!

The Dark Knight Tumbler and Bat-Pod

See all the pics right after the jump.

Here’s a bit about the bat-pod and its functions:

…it’s tricked out with 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.

That tank also moves up and down – you know, in case Batman needs to dodge bullets or slide under semis.
