Last week was the one year anniversary of the Batpod's first appearance in The Dark Knight and frankly it's aging better than most production vehicles. Actually, it's still cool as hell one year later. Gallery below straight from Comic Con.

In a move we're assuming the Joker will be unable to duplicate in "The Dark Knight", reader Erich caught the intimidating new Batpod up close and personal on the set of a photoshoot and snapped off a couple pics of his own. While the two-wheeled cohort of the Tumbler probably elicits pleas for mercy from its riders, and looks like some form of elaborate death trap, it also looks pretty badass, even without fancy lighting and movie magic. And yes, we'll be some of those dorks lined up on July 17th waiting for the midnight showing.

In case you haven't heard the next Batman movie will include a motorcycle that's been nicknamed the "Batpod" — yes, we know it's a lame name. But whatevs, thanks to tipster Ninan, we've got the snazzy little cycle on film moving for the first time (not including Meredith Viera straddling the Batpod on the air), along with the Batmobile in the foreground. No, there's not a single sighting of Christian Bale anywhere to be seen. We're OK with that. [via 29MotoGuide]
