The Dark Knight Rises Flying Vehicle Named 'The Bat'
Just as there was no 'Batmobile' but instead a 'Tumbler', the flying hovercraft vehicle we see at the end of the trailer for The Dark Knight Rises ain't gonna be called the 'Batwing'.
The Dark Knight Rises ain't gonna be called the 'Batwing'. According to an FCC filing from an upcoming Hot Wheels toy (and backed up by Batman-news.com) the flying vehicle is named 'The Bat'. Of course we don't know if the vehicle's actual name will appear in the film or just in toys/marketing but it probably will. What do you make of the new name and do you prefer that director Christopher Nolan has gone against calling everything the 'Batwing' and 'Batmobile' in favour of less cheesy sounding titles? Though having said that, I'm pretty sure the 'Batbike' was simply changed to the 'Batpod' which sounds just as 60's camp! The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20th, 2012 starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata, Nestor Carbonell, Matthew Modine, Tom Conti, Joey King, Brett Cullen, Chris Ellis, Josh Stewart, Christopher Judge, Adam Rodriguez and Rob Brown.
