As expected, what with the release of a high resolution batsuit picture, we can get some juicy up close pictures of the infamous bat-cycle monster. Click the images for the full high resolution versions, each is about 1mb in size. Enjoy.
And here’s an ALL NEW image from The Slug:

I’m not one for this kind of presenting, I prefer my reporters straight up and British, BBC style. Aside from that, here’s a nice little video clip from NBC’s Today Show, revealing the ‘hard to straddle’ monstrosity. It is literally huge.
By the way, sorry for the site’s down time, we got hit pretty bad by traffic and we needed to reimplement a lot of stuff. But we’re back!

This is it, the new contraption ‘created’ by Lucius Fox, the vehicle rumored to be unveiled this week. It is the Batpod, or bat-cycle, whichever you prefer. It officially goes on view tomorrow at the 2007 New York Licensing show.
It is a monster, and not only is it ridable, it is fast. The wheels are 508 mm in diameter and it boasts machine guns, cannons and a grappling hook. There is no handlebar, instead you steer with your shoulders that lock into two shields. To ride this you need to lie belly down, on the ‘tank’, which can rise and lower itself in order to fit through the smallest of gaps.
There are six of these beauties in total and their cost is unknown. They were designed by the man behind the Batman Begins Batmobile, Nathan Crowley and built by Chris Corbould. It will be ridden by French stuntman Jean-Pierre Goy, who has been testing the bikes at an undisclosed secret location in England over the past month.
I think we all can’t wait to see this thing in action!

The spy cameras, cell phone shots and Christian Bale voyeurisms continue to pour in. This time Sarah Piper Brown snapped these shots with her phone on June 16th at a Chicago set.
The novelty and interest in shots like these will soon dissipate so I shall not be posting all of the candid-back-alley pictures or videos received, I feel it may be damaging towards the integrity of the film and will inevitably be incredibly spoilerific.

Right place at the right time man Yunerz has snatched some shots of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart playing Rachel Dawes and Harvey Dent respectively, right next to his place of work. This is the first time we have seen Katie Holmes’ replacement. Many have viewed this swap-over favourably and are looking forward to seeing Gyllenhaal’s performance.
Whilst these are candid shots, the chosen image (above) does show a considerable likeness between the two portrayals by different actresses. For more images, including Harvey Dent, I recommend visiting the users’ gallery over at flickr.

I always seem to be mentioning these guys, Latino Review have posted this shot, which seems to be legitimate, it’s hard to tell because the article has been taken down. It is being touted as the Joker’s new clown car, likely to be a vehicle that he and/or his henchmen use to travel in. I personally think it’s perfect and look forward to seeing more of the same.
Here it is, complete with two-toned purple paint job et al:
What’s more, we could be getting a glance at a new BAT vehicle next week, according to a Warner Bros. press statement.
EDIT: Seems like this could be a fake using Photoshop, having done some research, although it is a cool and interesting concept that I am sure many people would like to see expanded upon.
While we are on the case of rumors, let’s look at a potential (i.e. likely to be fake) teaser poster, via Film Ick:
