The Dark Knight Rises Gets Bigger with Batwing

Batman Begins showed off the Tumbler.  When the Tumbler wrecked in The Dark Knight we got the Bat-pod.  Now the Dark Knight will take his chasing into the air with the Batwing.  Footage of the Dark Knight Rises shot in Pittsburgh has been all over the internet.  Recently, amateur footage of the film’s downtown shoot revealed a giant Batwing being used for a chase scene.  Anchored to the ground by a crane, it rolled down a street slowly, and then turned a corner.  With other footage showing Catwomen hanging out on the Bat-pod, it’s easy to assume Batman is flying the thing. This, in addition to leaked footage of a Heinz Field scene and a fight between Batman and Bane’s army has revealed the epic scale of the final Batman.  The trailer promised an ‘epic conclusion’, and it seems certain to deliver on that promise. 
Christopher Nolen has to pull all the exhilarating punches he can throw for this last film.  The Dark Knight Rises has to bigger than anything ever.  Plot and details aside, it’s bound to be. Heinz Field destruction is big.  Batman in the air is big.  It’s clear the action in The Dark Knight Rises is going to rise to a new level.  The anticipation for the film alone is unprecedented, and it’s release is barely less than a year away.
