Yet another great find courtesy of our friends over at Batman-News! We've already heard rumors about Batman having a new vehicle in The Dark Knight Rises, and could this be it?! It looks like it could be either an aircraft or water based mode of transportation, although the former is far more likely based on what we've been hearing these past few months. Here is the image, but click on the link below to view the full-size version over at the site.

Ross Petrocelli just posted a picture on Twitter of a new vehicle going into the Wabash Tunnel in Pittsburgh. As you can see from the photo, it looks like a cross between the Tumbler and some type of hovercraft. Is this our first look at Christopher Nolan’s Batwing?

STARRING:

Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Michael Caine as Alfred
Gary Oldman as Commissioner Jim Gordon
Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox
Tom Hardy as Bane
Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman

First yes...

cool find I'm not sure though might just be armour for the batmobile

AWESOME!

I have 110% faith in Nolan for delivering, but this feels nothing like TDK did when it was being filmed.

Also, this looks more like a piece to the batwing, than the entire vehicle itself!

Here's to hoping though!

Great find dude, looks awesome.

SuperDan89 - 8/11/2011, 4:06 PM

These pics have me confused. I do not know what is going on. At least I won't be spoiled. :)

SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

Hrmmm, I think it would look better and more believable as a water vessel, but either way it looks pretty sweet :)

the Batwing? Really?

Looks "meh"

RobinNumbah6 - 8/11/2011, 4:10 PM

looks cool, but doesnt seem to fit Nolans universe. the Tumbler is a believable Tank-like contraption. But this seems unrealistic. Doesnt even look that aerodynamic. hopefully this is just a bad picture or its just something else entirely. In Nolan we trust(?)...

Rubbers - 8/11/2011, 4:12 PM

Damn economy! Nolan can't even provide decent security post TDK. Shame on us.

Lert - 8/11/2011, 4:12 PM

looks like the batmobile has some added features...

Lert - 8/11/2011, 4:13 PM

thanks for circling it.. i would have never figured it out!

This comment has been reported by the CBM community for being to god damn sexy!!

Bardock - 8/11/2011, 4:14 PM

Well Bruce is gonna need to go aerial to fight off Bane's Tumblers and the Catpod.

@Mastertask I wouldn't call other people stupid when you can't even form a sentence with proper spelling and grammar...

GUNSMITH - 8/11/2011, 4:18 PM

WELL HE WON'T CALL IT THE BATWING, LIKE THE TUMBLER INSTEAD OF THE BATMOBILE, PROLLY CALL IT THE WING OR THE FLIGHT RIG OR SOMETHING
