Batwing confirmed? I think so. Yesterday we saw pictures of a strange looking new vehicle, and today we have video of it in action! subaruwrxfan is back with 1080p HD video of Batman's new ride in The Dark Knight Rises. He got up close and personal, you can really get a good look at it. I've added a few more videos of the Batwing in action, you can even see Batman in the cockpit. Check those out after the break.

Really...How much more stuff is Nolan gonna cram into this flick? I trust in him, but between the ridiculous star-studded cast and all the different vehicles this reeks of Spider-Man 3...just hope the script is far better than that mess and all should be well!

I have it from a very reliable source that this movie is going to run at approx 200 minutes, that's 3 hrs 20 mins :0)

Not calling you a liar but 3 and a 1/2 hrs? That is insane. I know that I would be enthralled for every minute but the average movie goer? Not so sure they would want Nolan making a movie that long, although it DEFINITELY has enough plot going on to fill it

I don't think it'll be a mess. I'm not going to use that cheesy line "In Nolan I Trust" but I can honestly say he hasn't made a movie that I haven't liked, very good director. I don't think he would have agreed to go into shooting with a script he didn't think would work well. He's all about themes and tying things together, I think it will be every bit the epic f*cking conclusion we all hope for

Wow really liking the concept that they practically made it, instead of just an unrealistic CGI model, it really exists, good idea that they will later mask out the bottom half of the wheels and the gimble holding it up, so will have a realistic batman, Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Man I like seeing all of this, but I wish there were better security around the set.

I guess Coleman Reese was right on the money, hein Mr. Lucius?

That is exactly what i'm wondering... too many scenes during the day already! I know they can use filters and stuff, but... always looks like artificial... doesn't looks much Nolan. I remember the TDK action scenes with Joker...all during night time!

I think it's really funny how people will complain about Banes voice in the stadium when it's played through a P.A. system and recorded on a phone. And yet watching the video of this shaky cheap looking Batwing gets no complaints.
I'm not complaining, I know that post production will make it look amazing. I just think it's funny that people are so inconsistent with their pickyness...
This thing totally looks like something from several sci-fi movies. I can't wait to see what the hell this thing does in the movie.

CAtwoman, Bane, John Blake, Thalia Al Ghul, Young Ra's, The "instrument" weapon, the batpods, the camo tumblers, this fuckick unrealistic Batwing, the gotham rogues, the Mad scientist..... Oh gosh, they better have a good script or all this elements are gonna screw the movie, its too much
2 likesTwo paths: Or this movie becomes the best super hero movie in history, or it becomes another spiderman-3 There's no going back.
0 likesWhat I can say about that is that Christopher Nolan should make better a flick that lasts 3 hours at least, otherwise I don't see all that stuff fiting in one movie plot

Even if this movie is not as good as "The Dark Knight" it will never be as bad as "Spiderman 3".
Come on.4 likesI don't understand all this. Is sad for this movie to be "spoiled" -or whatever you want to call it- like this. What's happening there with the production? Are they not aware of this filmers ruining it all? It was funny some weeks ago, now this "leaking" is starting to suck

We have seen a lot of stuff and there's yet a whole year to go, pleaseee christopher nolan stop this footage leaking

If you don't want to see it, don't click on it then. It's pretty simple. No one has any idea what that machine is, what it's used for or the scenes they are shooting. We have no clue. No one knows the plot, the elements, what's going on with post production or anything.
They film scenes like this all time, your going to look funny when the film comes out and they've kept 1/10th of what you've seen leaked onto the net and everything is all the sudden at night instead of during the day. Nolan and the crew probably could careless what you see, no one here sitting and talking on a message board has any clue what's going on. Your speculating and that ship, Bat Wing, Bat Plane, or whatever it is might not be anything at all. It might be used for one very small part of the film and 3/4 of it might be CGI, you have no clue. This is not a spoiler. If the script leaks online spilling essential details and huge elements of the story.....that's a spoiler.

Well said. We have to keep in mind that we have only seen small clips of portions of the movie that will occur outdoors during the snowing. And all of it will change in post-production. These are all things that will probably appear in the trailer. Nolan would never let any important plot info get leaked, it would be counter-productive to the business. He has more control that we think.

You try and make a batman as good as Nolan. These are fan videos ad pictures you don't even know how it functions So just wait until the film is finished.

I like the idea of the Bat-Wing but when it was first mentioned I has thoughts of a hang-glider (as in Year One), I'm just praying that this doesn't mean a leap from the reality based story and tech to a more fantastical approach. Granted Bruce Wayne has access to the most cutting edge tech so all this may be plausible...

About the vehicles, Nolan's Batmobil and Batwing are just as ugly as the cosume he designed. Tim Burton got at least the vehicles right. When it comes to the costume, i'll stick to the one used in : Batman Dead end (Check it out on YouTube.). Wich is closest to the source material. Burton's Batmobil was/is just awesome. In Nolan's i don't trust, nor do i like the looks. Batman isn't in the military, he has style! Also starting to rename Batman to The Dark Knight is a part i always figured as Lame. I'm sorry guys, don't get me wrong... when it comes to the Comics, and especially The Animated Series, Batman was always one of my favorite Superheroes. But when it comes to the Movies, then Superman is my guy! I loved Batman Begins though, but i still prefer Tim Burtons version, because he stayed closer to the source material. The dark knight... only the first 10 minutes (The bank robbery.) were easy on the eyes, the rest was Bullsh*t. TDKR i have exactly 0 faith in. The photo of Baine, The plane, The Teaser Trailer, not one of those things seem to impress me. Nolan never got the part what Batman is really about. In short that is : World's Greatest Detective! I see a ninja in a Batman costume, without any detective skills. I hope Baine will break this Batman's neck instead of his back, so whe can finally reboot this franchise!

2 likesDude, what are u taking about, do u think Burton,s montages would be aplicable to a movie now? Everything that Nolan does is functional and near to a realistic universe...thats why Superman movies Will always sucks, movies and comics are two diferent things.
3 likesYou do now Nolan is producing 'Man of Steel' the next Superman movie right? It's also being directed by Zack Snyder who proved comics can translate to the screen.

To: "Oberon sexton and Batgirl" and all the rest of the haters, complainers, nitpickers.Stop complaining. It's driving everyone else with any intelligence nuts. You complainers have absolutely no idea what is going on with this movie, you have no clue at all. You don't know anything about the plot, the story, the concepts, the CGI, post-production, anything."Big guns.............. CAtwoman, Bane, John Blake, Thalia Al Ghul,

this fuckick unrealistic Batwing, the gotham rogues, the Mad

elements are gonna screw the movie, its too much"Are you a director, a screenwriter or just someone with no intelligence whatsoever? How about Harvey Dent/Two Face, the Joker, Gamble, The Chechen, Commissioner Loeb dying, The Scarecrow, Maroni, The Bat Pod, fake Batman's, Reese discovering Bruce, Lau and Wayne Enterprises, Rachel dying, Tumbler blowing up, Batman traveling to Japan, Hospital blowing up, Harvey Dent dying. Sound familiar? What happened to that movie again? Oh....yeah, second highest grossing film of all time.SHUT UP!......you have ZERO idea what is going on, you have no clue. Stop complaining, stop cluttering this board with you whining and bickering. The Dark Knight HAD TONS of stuff going on, TONS. It was non-stop throughout the whole film and it was nitpicked to death and the result was only one of the greatest films ever made.Either say something meaningful or positive or don't say anything at all. If you want to complain go to Jett's BOF, I'm sure you'll fit right in over there.10 likesThat's your opinion and I respect it, is it too much to ask you to respect mine?
3 likesYour opinion is based on what?.......your egocentric view of what you can't see or know? Your forming an opinion based on pictures off the internet, is there anything more pathetic than that? Did you watch The Dark Knight? Stop cluttering this board up with negativity. You have no basis for which your opinion stands on, if TDK sucked, I could read your opinion as valid but you biased opinion stands on nothing except your pessimistic attitude.

I pray to God that Jim is right and his sources are truly reliable... A 200-minute conclusion is EXACTLY what we need to wrap up this awesome trilogy. If my memory serves me right, "The Godfather Part II" was about 200 minutes long and it was supposed to be the conclusion of The Godfather saga before they ruined it with "The Godfather Part III". "The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King", the conclusion to the greatest fantasy film trilogy of all-time, was even LONGER than 200 minutes. TDKR needs to be long, spectacular and EPIC.
Oh, and as for the new and improved Batwing: Nolan has nailed it again. It looks extremely badass. Can't wait to see how exactly it's going to be used, but I sense a shitload of epic fight scenes in the movie.4 likesI don't think GF III has ruined the GF's saga... it's a very good movie. The thing is: GF II is outstanding! But this is a Batman's forum... and yeah, i see TDKR as a chance for the third chapter be the best one!

GF III was a good film but like Young Guns II and all the Final Destination sequals (they should have ended with 1), it wasn't needed. TDKR is a sequal we would like to go on ( in sarcastic voice) NOLAN!

It's not going to be 200 minutes long. IMAX film platters don't hold that much film. AVATAR is the longest film ever shown in IMAX and is the longest that can be shown in IMAX film based theatres. AVATAR pushed IMAX film projection platters to their limit. Special new hardware was built so that the whole film would fit onto the platters.

You might be right, but Nolan AND his cinematographer have both stated that 70 mm cameras will be used for the dialogue scenes and not the entire movie will be shot in IMAX. So I'll keep my hopes.
0 likesYou are correct, they have said the whole movie will not be shot in IMAX. The whole movie will be printed onto IMAX 15/70 film stock to be played in IMAX theaters. They could do an intermission if they wanted a longer running time, they could release a longer version in traditional theaters. I personally think that if it came in around two and a half hours, I would be very happy!

Mabye but I think it will be CG because it would be so complicated to make that happen. But you never know :) good to speculate :) it's going to look amazing though I love watching these videos and watching how it moves around the corners!

It seems like all this leaked videos thing is one massive Subaru advert.
and since the joker-ish viral campaign wouldn't work in TDKR they choose this to be viral. I can't believe Nolan wouldn't smash the camera out of this guys hand the second he sees him.
