Dark Knight Rises Bike Fail

This summer the latest installment in the Batman saga, Dark Knight Rises, will be released. This one stars Christian Bale (back again as Batman), Anne Hathaway (as Cat-woman) and superb Gary Oldman (one of my favorite actors back as Commissioner Gordon), Mathew Modine, Michael Caine and is directed by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Batman Begins). This time Catwoman is aboard the strange looking Batcycle with the gigantic balloon tires. Apparently the contraption has some handling issues (given the contact patches the size of your head I can see why) as evidenced by the crash in the video below that took out a rather expensive IMAX camera. Dark Knight was fantastic, this one looks to be on the same level if not better (see the trailer below).

    Much like a raked out rigid with ape hangers. You don't have to ride it to know it has handling issues, LOL

    I agree with Molson, cat woman should be on a KLR. Batman on the Bat-Strom. In a high speed chase through Robinson mall. Catwoman goes up the escalator, Batman skids sideways into the elevator. Now that's entertainment LOL

    Man I thought he was gonna go for the rail… riding with the modular helmet flipped up just begs for a faceplant. I was bracing myself.

    Catwoman should have just went with the KLR650.
