Batman's Tumbler
The Dark Knight Rises!
There’s always something going on at Dundas Square and on this particular day, the Batmobile took centre stage. What an awesome mechanical creation, especially designed for the king of crime fighters and on display just in time for the latest installment of The Dark Knight series. It certainly attracted a crowd.
The specs are impressive. Designed and built by renowned fabricator George Barris, it features a custom crafted body, bullet proof glass, six monster tires and every imaginable gizmo under the sun to assure that all obstacles are overcome and Batman arrives at his destination to apprehend the bad guys. Cool!
