The Dark Knight Batcycle

[Steelsheen]

here's a pic I haven,t seen posted before

I don't think there's any obvious way a driveshaft can transfer power to the rear wheel, the bars that connect to the frame are tiny. Unless it's in direct contact with the wheel itself, sounds unlikely. But I'm completely ignorant of this stuff.

Edit, the Latimes article specifically says they're in the hubs

Is it just the "shields" that rotate around the frame, or Batman as well?

hmmm, well..... like the Tumbler, this Pod will take some getting used to.

so you steer with your shoulders it says? its a little strange, but then it makes some sense if your hands are busy with guns and the cannon.

Eh, gave it a 6. Hard to really decide from a still picture. Who knows what it will be able to do.

 

[SoTDK]

Love it! Just those damn gunbarrels!

It's able to jump, rise and lower itself. Probably move incredibly fast, and it has guns and a cannon that fire either missile projectiles and/or rubber bullets for moving blockage and crowd control.

Calm down. The Tumbler had missiles launchers on it.

Nice.

I see "TDKR" influence on the bike with the gun barrels.

"Rubber bullets. Honest."

I don't think Nolan will have Batman kill anyone.

 

[regwec]

I quite like the "bare bones"ness of it.

 

[Nepenthes]

looks like a deathtrap to me

Maybe some of the whining fanboys, who knows...

Great post. Really clever and inspired.

Thank you.

It's definitely growing on me, with those new pics. Now I have an idea how Bats will actually ride it.
Reg, don't rise to the bait.

 

[regwec]

I think I might just run a hot bath and open a vein.

It's growing on me . . . HELP!!!! GET IT OFF!!!!

btw dig the sig

Uuuh...why did they bring the batcycle, I never liked the batcycle or the batplane!!
Gosh, especially the batcycle. I gave it a 6, I really dont like the design, it looks incomplete ....but then again I also didnt like the batmobile when I first saw it and now I think its the best batmobile ever so maybe this will grow on me

 

[Judson Caspian]

At least it's not silver all over. I've looked at it from different angles. Now I think it reminds of Mad Max. Looks cool.

 

[regwec]

I gave it a 6, I really dont like the design,

Then why give it a 6? Surely that implies moderate satisfaction? I also gave it a 6, but I quite like it.

I think that is a problem with a lot of the polls on this forum: no one except those who are mortally opposed to something will ever give it less than an average rating. I suppose that "5" ought to be treated as "1", and that anything less than a "10" should be seen as moderate disapproval.

Cause...like the batmobile I'll probably end up liking it more then I started out with. Plus I don't hate it that much to give it a 1-3...in my opinion to get 1-3 it would have to be pink or something.
6 doesn't really mean you liked anything....A 6 is a D, thats not moderate satisfaction to me.

looks rubbish.
the tumbler is ace but this is just cheap looking.

 

[Nepenthes]

The tumbler looks like a cockroach, the bike looks like a grasshopper.
