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.

So less shiny vynil skin-tight outfits and kitty ears, more techie goggles and tactical suits. We like. How... Read More
Fully functional Lego Tumbler is much better than yours
The auction might be over on eBay but it still is fantastic to look at. The guy behind this Tumbler (and Batpod, and 80’s Batmobile etc) spent hours giving it as many details as possible and making it functional, but he also made comic strips and videos… insane! Thanks Gabriel for the tip! Want to see an 80’s Batmobile montage with “Push it to the limit” (Top Gun) as soundtrack? Watch it after the jump! Read More Read More
