It looks like the left side on all of them look like the original Tumbler design. It's just the right side that looks different. Hmmm....

It does look like that...

I wonder if the camo ones are banes?

Jalopnik has a couple of clips of the camo Tumblers...

Guessing

Maybe this is escalation in Gotham. Cop car's won't cut it. They order camo tumblers for safety!

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

From these recent spy pics of Bane standing on a camo tumbler I have a feeling he will be using one.

 

[Dr Lee]

I agree... it really feels to me as though Bane and his group of Merc's have their hands on a group of Tumblers.... though How/when they got them i don't know yet

 

[ChickenScratch]

I still think most of those are either working mules, or vehicles set up for various different interior and exterior camera rigs as well as the one with the hydrolic jack for the jumping. I'll conceed that maybe Bane has one but from what I see of the differences it's for shooting from different angles.

Dukes of Hazard used 3 cars per episode. Knight rider used an 83 Trans Am for the majority of it, but a couple 84s and even a couple Firebirds made it in. All playing the same car.

Universal Studios used a 1982 (some say a 1982 ½) Pontiac Trans Am for the original KITT and KARR, and then used later year models (at least up to 1984) for stunts and exterior camera angles. The convertible and super-persuit-mode KITT shown in the 4th season of the series also used a later year model.
The television series ended in 1986, so only Firebirds created in the years between 1982 and 1986 could have actually been used in the show. However, any 3rd generation (1982-1992) in the Firebird line (includes Trans Am, GTA, Formula, and Firehawk) can be used in a KITT or KARR replica. http://www.knightreplicas.com/car_for_kitt_and_karr.html

Didn't know this was turning into a Knight Rider and Dukes of Hazard thread lol. I think were all aware that there were many tumblers used for both BB and TDK for different purposes.

IIRC, BB had either 6 or 9

I just saw the pics of Bane standing on the camo Tumbler, the whole scene looks like Gotham is under Marshal law from Bane and his mercs. The question is did Bane arrive in the Tumbler and is standing on it giving a speech to his men, or did he take it off whoever was driving it in the sequence?

 

[ChickenScratch]

Yeah, I buy the multiple cars for different shooting purposes. Over the Bane getting his hands on not only one but maybe even a few.

Maybe after kicking Batmans ass, he makes his speech that the Bat is dead, the city is his, and then drives off in the Tumbler.... Dang...

Indeed. It does seem quite likely. There's one shot of Nolan next to a camera pointing up filming Hardy as he's standing atop the thing. There's little reason for that unless it's his.

The very possibility of a Tumbler on Tumbler battle, or a 3 on 1 outnumbered Batman tumbler battle, just makes my palms sweaty...

Black tumbler driving down the street

Camo tumbler 1 enters from the right

Camo tumbler 2 enters from the left

Camo tumbler 3 from the back

All give that tumbler growl/roar we hear when it pancakes a cop car

Lol yeah that's my video from today. Been just posting all day in the Pittsburgh thread, forgot to post the video here.

 

[Energist]

I'm thinking the same thing.

 

[JackWhite]

If Zombie, Trogg, and Bird are part of Bane's team of mercenaries I think I might explode!

 

[Wolverine_05]

All 3 look very distinct, I don't think it's a camera rig thing.

 

[TX85]

Batman in a car chase after Bane&his mercs in there own Tumblers could be f'n awesome,So much potential!!

 

[3redlights]

What I want to know is this:

Assuming these tumblers are in the possession of someone other than Batman (seems most likely) wouldnt that person have a massive, massive hint as to Bruces identity?

I mean the tumbler is a vehicle from Wayne enterprises that never saw mass production, as soon as coleman reese saw just the schematics for one he knew what was up.

 

[typeorocks]

I'm not sure if you guys saw several being filmed at the same time or not. But for Batman Begins they had several Tumblers on set at all times. And they built several of them. 1 to jump, 1 for speed, ect ect ect. They also have 4-5 Batpods on set for the Dark Knight too.

So there may only be 1 Tumbler in this film.

However.. if you guys are seeing more than 1 being flimed together then I apologize.

Did he know Batman was Bruce specifically or just knew that WE was supplying Batman?

 

[The_Raganork]

He knew it was Bruce but, from an amalgamation of reasons, not just cause of the plans.

The sleeping, the shady behavior, the way applied sciences disappeared.


Anyone without knowledge of those three things, would reasonably assume WayneTech was working with Batman, not that Bruce Wayne is Batman.


(which is what my Ninja is saying is happening in filming right now)

 

[antsman41]

Sort of like Batman, INC.?

Bruce comes forward, telling everyone he funds Batman...
