If you haven't checked The Dark Knight Rises you must go see it at Rave Cinemas! It features a wall to wall and floor to ceiling curved silver screen with cushy seating. Ok, now onto the BatPod; this sick bike has 20" front and rear tires and is powered by a water-cooled, single-cylinder engine. The exhaust is routed through the hollow steel/aluminum/magnesium tubing used for the frame of the bike. For the film, the bike is armed with grappling hooks, canons, and machine guns. The best feature for me, hands down, is that the wheels roll against their normal access for added stability through sharp turns and for instant change in direction. Boom!

It is hard to believe that the Batpod started off as a Batcycle, 1965 Harley Davidson with a sidecar, in the 1966 Batman TV series.
