CHICAGO – Along with our exclusive video [19] of the official “The Dark Knight Rises” Tumbler being revved to the max at the film’s Tumbler Tour in Chicago on May 25, 2012, feast your eyes on HollywoodChicago.com’s exclusive photos of the Tumbler and Bat-Pod!

The Tumbler and Bat-Pod have been high-powered vehicles for Batman in Christopher Nolan’s earlier blockbusters. The Tumbler debuted in “Batman Begins” and the Bat-Pod was introduced in “The Dark Knight”. They will both be featured in different ways in “The Dark Knight Rises”.

The coast-to-coast Tumbler Tour with the Tumbler and Bat-Pod is sponsored by Mountain Dew and IMAX. The Tumbler Tour is on Facebook [20], Twitter [21] and at its official Web site [22]. For fans attending Tumbler Tour events, tweet your photo with #TumblerTour [23] and your photo may be included in their online gallery! While supplies last, there will also be promotional merchandise on hand.
