The Dark Knight Rises special features footage continues to flow. After finding out how they made the amazing exploding American football field, now we find out how the Tumbler came to be. Seems it was a bunch of Brits that built it, too.
I have to say, if this is the kind of stuff we can expect on the DKR Blu-ray, this might be one to own rather than rent or stream. It was an incredible film in and of itself, but with this kind of great special features content, I’d say this one’s a keeper. [Mashable]













Screw Batman, The Dark Knight Rises Is All About Bane
Holy Batman! The New Dark Knight Rises Trailer Is Out and It's Amazing!
The Awesome Dark Knight Rises Trailer Is Even Better in Lego
Worst batmobile ever. That one in the background’s not even black!
They had a whole raft of them in the DKR, including a black one.
Hmm I don’t know, I do think it’s better than the Schumacher Batman films but you can’t beat the Burton’s Batmobile. Unless you include the Batman TAS one, that one is awesome
It may not be the prettiest (obviously Anton Furst’s Keaton-mobile wins there), but the Tumbler is PERFECT in Nolan’s trilogy.
Not to mention it’s the only Batmobile actually engineered in real life to be awesome, rather than just a prop on any old muscle car chassis.
I had a Batman tumbler when I was about 5. Used to drink orange squash out of it.
Was it black though? With red accents?
Probably had orange sticky accents.
This was back in the 70′s Sam and the graphics were based on the 60′s TV show.
Please tell me it had POW written on it?
Awesome piece of engineering. I’ve met Andy Smith. He came to Brunel University to talk to the Mechanical/Motorsport undergrads.
I’m so glad the Batpod and Tumblers are feats of British Engineering.
