Catwoman stunt double seen handling the Batpod on the set of ‘Dark Knight Rises’
The good guys from SubaruWRXFan have caught another shoot from Dark Knight Rises. In this one, you can see the Batpod really well, along with a Tumbler and some army big rig. Anne Hataway’s stunt double will surely make her look good in the movie… Kudos too her for handling such an unusual vehicle. It does not look comfy. Not one bit. The last close up might be unnecessary, but I’m sure most of you won’t complain… Watch the video after the jump!... Read More
‘The Dark Night Rises’: First picture of Anne Hathaway riding the Batpod
The beautiful Anne Hathaway will be playing Selina Kyle in the next Batman movie, and she gets to ride the Batpod for that. Now, that basically means that she’s the next Catwoman, except that the production has been avoided calling her character by that name. Her role will be less raunchy than the previous versions, and more oriented towards action and badass-ness. So less shiny vynil skin-tight outfits and kitty ears, more techie goggles and tactical suits. We like. How... Read More

Sunday Ads: The Italian Job remix for the Fiat Grande Punto
digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL'; The Italian Job (1966) is one of the best car movie ever made, with three Minis (blue, white and red, the colors of the British flag) storming though the streets of Turin, to accomplish the heist planned by Michael Caine (recently seen as Alfred in Batman Beggins and in the upcoming Dark Knight). It was remade in 2003 with the new Mini, but with not much success. To promote its new Grande Punto, the Italian car maker Fiat recently came up with a new... Read More
Batman’s new ride: the Bat-Pod
We’ll have a complete presentation of the upcoming Dark Knight here soon, but we’ve found this video of NBC’s Today Show introducing the Bat-Pod and it gives a pretty good idea of the new beasty motorcycle. Bruce Wayne has some extreme ideas when it comes to transportation devices… Stay tuned! Read More
KITT’s new voice
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/02/13/kitts-new-voice/'; If you follow the news regarding the new Knight Rider, you already know that Will Arnett has been replaced by Val Kilmer as KITT’s voice. This happened just a few weeks before the premiere, when either GM or Ford realised it wasn’t a good idea to have the voice of the GMC commercial (Arnett), voice a show massively sponsored by Ford. From the different articles we’ve read it’s difficult... Read More

When looking for reference pictures, we came across the creations of Thalon Design, a design and prototyping studio based in Stockholm. These crazy Swedes have already recreated the Batmobile from Batman Returns, KITT from the original Knight... Read More
