Batman kicks butt in his latest movie,
The Dark Knight, a gloomy yet action-packed flick that scored big at the box office this
weekend. A summer blockbuster has been born, to be sure. The stunningly cool vehicles used in the movie are attracting interest all on their own, especially the sleekly menacing Bat-Pod
motorcycle.
It turns out the bike was a bit of a
DIY job on the part of the film's creators. According to
an article in Popular Mechanics, the 'Pod is actually a motorcycle-ATV hybrid, all wrapped up with plumbing parts and some creative duct-work. The entire exhaust frame was custom built especially for the movie, while those massive wheels suffered blow-out after blow-out until the steering was just right. Another cool little factoid: the footrests disguise the bike's radiator.
Speaking of
The Dark Knight, the movie's star, Christian Bale, seems to have gotten himself into
a spot of bother with the police. Read all about it at our sister site, Cinematical.

Dammit. I thought the article was how to build yourself a Bat Pod. Disappointed.
