If you were thinking about buying a Dark Knight Trilogy Blu-Ray set, check this out. This could be the Dark Knight Trilogy Blu-ray Ultimate Collector’s Edition box set. And it is awesome. This amazing edition is expected to go on sale sometime in the third quarter of this year.
Now I’m no expert on agriculture, but I didn’t know that Gotham had any farms left. Then again, the Scarecrow had to come from somewhere right? That helps to explain this kick-ass tractor that looks like it came from Wayne Industries, right alongside the Tumbler we all know and love.
This tractor was built in the Netherlands, and it just happens to look like the Dark Knight’s tumbler. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. Yeah. That’s all. This guy probably doesn’t have a Batcave and talk in a gravelly voice. At least that’s Lucius Fox told me.
He is not at all preparing armor, along with a black cape and cowl to fight crime in the Netherlands. Nah. That’s just crazy. So crazy it just might work.

The Gumball 3000 is an international rally for rich people who own exotic supercars. It’s a chance to show off and let their expensive toys roar. But this year’s race will feature one car that’s surely more exotic than even the newest Lambo. It’s a life-size replica of the Tumbler from Nolan’s Batman films.
The car was commissioned by a group of gearheads from Saudi Arabia who call themselves Team Galag. According to Yahoo! Autos, the replica has a 400hp engine, goes up to 100mph and cost $1.6 million (USD) to build. A Wayne-level budget; I guess that adds to the authenticity. Autoblog says that the car was made by Parker Brothers Concepts, who are no strangers to building wacky one-off vehicles for the rich and famous.

Here’s a quick video of the car rumbling down the street via YouTuber Shmee150:
Please let their be a Batpod in there. You can see more pictures of the Tumbler at Team Gulag’s Facebook page.

Check out this Batmobile monster truck. It chases and then crushes any villain’s vehicle in it’s path. All I can say is I’m glad that Christopher Nolan was in control of the recent Batman movies. Otherwise we could have ended up with this ridiculous beast in one of those movies.
This LEGO motorized Tumbler is so detailed that you might think it was made by Wayne Industries, but it was actually made by a guy named Sariel. The man should build for Batman himself – or at least change his name to Lucius.
Legendary Lego builder Paweł “Sariel” Kmiec is back with a remote control Technic Tumbler that will have Dark Knight fans begging the company to turn it into a real set. If crime has become an issue in your minifig town, justice has arrived. More »
It takes a serious Batman fan to build a replica of any of the Dark Knight’s vehicles. It is even more impressive when they build them from junk as is the case with this Batpod motorcycle.
It not only looks amazing, but this is a fully functional hand-built Dark Knight BatPod. It was made from scrap metal parts by Vietnam’s Tùng Lâm. It looks like it cost him a fortune to build, but believe it or not, it cost just $480(USD). That’s a lot less than Bruce Wayne paid for his (or the $100,000 for this replica.)
The video shows Tùng tearing up the streets on this cool vehicle and just generally feeling good and being his own superhero. You can see more pics from the build at the link below.

I am in awe of the sheer genius and laziness of this Batman mod. By giving a large Batman figure a single rod to hold in his hands, Batman is transformed from Guardian of Gotham to Master Presenter of T.P.
Sure, it might have been more appropriate if this were the butler, Alfred, preferably the Michael Caine version that speaks with a British accent, but this is way funnier. It has to be the Dark Knight toilet paper holder. Because Alfred is the hero with the soft stuff your butt deserves, but not the one it needs right now.
This 31″ tall custom dark knight toilet paper holder was made by conrick, who sits on his throne in silence, looking over his creation.

If you have a Bruce Wayne sized bank account, you may want to turn your man cave into a bat cave like this Dark Knight home theater. You see that bookcase on the left? It slides out to reveal a Tumbler behind it. How cool is that?
There’s also a spare bat-suit or two for that imminent change into character, several seats for all of your bat friends and all of the controls are in back. The stalagmites on the ceiling are a nice touch. This setup is so good that you expect to see some actual bats flying around inside.
Those seats look mighty comfy too. Just sit down, set up the movie, have Alfred bring you some popcorn and watch your favorite Batman flick.

The Dark Knight Rises is finally, finally, finally almost here—and while that’s great, it also means loads of promotional material. Thankfully, some of it’s pretty great, like these Nokia maps of Gotham City. More »
