First, I talked to this guy last night while I was hanging around the perimeter of the out reasons.*SPOILERS* that the Joker shoots the Tumbler with some sort of missile or rocket which causes the Tumbler to hit a car, flip or jettison into the air, and explode. And, the Batpod is indeed a leftover or a built-in component of the Tumbler which survives the explosion.
He might not know what he is talking about, but, based on our conversation, I think he does. And, if you look at his credits, he actually works on movies; he's not one of the security kids I've tried to talk to who doesn't know anything except how to use a walkie-talkie.
Next, I've been hanging out after hours in my office on a few occasions to catch a glimpse of the filming. And last night, I hung around on the street. These are the pictures and videos I've managed to capture the last two weeks. I don't send these to BOF or Hollywood Chicago, I just post them here. I hope you guys enjoy.
This is a plain picture of the SWAT van Gordon was in, kind of *****ty: http://s192.photobucket.com/albums/z237/Sunyatavadin/?action=view¤t=IMG_1610.jpg
Here are a couple of GPD vehicles: http://s192.photobucket.com/albums/z237/Sunyatavadin/?action=view¤t=IMG_1595.jpg

Here is a "GCN" van, which I assume means "Gotham City News."

Here are some pictures of a GPD helicopter as it was flying low over the rooftops and shining its searchlight. Whoever was piloting this thing was amazing. He would hover five feet above a roof, between multiple buildings of staggered height. I hope he got hazard pay.

Here are some pictures of the Joker's semi. I took these before they had closed the streets. DON'T LOOK IF YOU ARE TRYING TO AVOID SPOILERS!!! Seriously.

Now, the videos. On a lot of these, *Edited out*.. That's how I was able to get so close. Also, she and most of her staff are Bosnian, so that's the crazy talk you hear in the background. I had to try to explain to them what was going on. Most of them had never even heard of Batman, much less "The Dark Knight." It was kind of a weird night.
On all these, you can see what is going on much better if you click "full size" on the bottom right corner of the display and shrink the full size window until the picture becomes less blurry.
Here is a video of the helicopter:

Here are some videos of the SWAT van speeding down LaSalle, and in the last one it is being followed by the Joker's semi.

Here are three videos I took last night of a scene in which the SWAT van comes down LaSalle (it was being pulled, that's how I knew someone important was inside; they do the same thing with the Batpod, the stuntman actually rides it around like a motorcycle, but Bale gets pulled behind a truck, haha). It stops and Gordon jumps out with a shotgun in hand. In one of the videos, he wears a ski mask. In the other two, he does not. Also, you can see one of the wanker walkie-talkie kids trying to block our angle so we couldn't record. Chris Nolan was in the truck pulling the SWAT van, but you can't really see him because he's amongst so many other people.

In this one, you can see Gordon stumble as he jumps out. Kind of funny.

You can see all the images I have capture here:
http://s192.photobucket.com/albums/z237/Sunyatavadin/
Also:
There's one video being uploaded that tells what happens to the JOKER at the end of the film. I just recorded a scene they are filming involving Harvey Dent.
*SPOILERS* DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE TRYING TO AVOID SPOILERS!!!
In the scene, the Joker's semi has already been flipped. As Dent is walking in the clip, it is behind him, but I didn't get it in the shot. It is in the same spot as it was in the images in my OP, so you can look there.
It is very difficult to see, but the cops are putting some of Joker's goons into the paddy wagon as Dent (in the gray suit) is walking toward the top of the screen toward the large groups of reporters. As he gets there, you can hear one reporter say *LAST CHANCE TO AVOID SPOILERS* "Mr. Dent, Mr. Dent, was it your plan or the Batman's that led to the arrest of the Joker." You can't make it out completely in the video, but they are shooting the scene over and over, and I finally filled in all the words. I kept waiting for someone to pop out and throw acid on dent (I was hoping), but no dice.
The videos (which are basically identical, two different run throughs) are uploading now, so I will update this post once they are finished. Oh yeah, to get this stuff, I was sitting on a window ledge on the 15th floor of my building. I am scared *beep* of heights, but this is Batman, so what can I do. I'm employing the freakin' deathgrip on the inside protrusion of the window.
