Batpod

And... another Batman Hot Wheels of mine is Batpod.  I bought it the same time with The Tumbler and The Bat.  They're complete my Dark Knight Trilogy Batman Hot Wheels. :)
Mine is a part of 2014 HW City - Batman 75th Anniversary.

The Bat-Pod is a model from the Dark Knight movie. The model came with a Joker tamped truck.  It made the Hot Wheels debut at 2008.  It came with 2 version, with & without riding Batman.


The Batcycle is the fictional personal motorcycle of comic book superhero Batman. In the comic book universe, Batman's personal Batcycle is a modified street-bike with a 786 cc liquid-cooled V-4 engine. It contains a computer-controlled carburetor and bulletproof wind-guard.

The Batcycle from Batman (1966).

The Batcycle is known as the Batpod for The Dark Knight (2008) and "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012).  The bike has 20" front and rear tires and is powered by a high-performance, water-cooled, single-cylinder engine - geared toward the lower end for faster acceleration and with no exhaust pipes.  The Batpod is steered by the shoulders instead of hands, and the rider's arms are protected by shields.
The Batpod is intended as a kind of "escape pod" integrated into the Tumbler, it also served an auxiliary vehicle. Armed with dual front-mounted cannons, machine guns and grappling hooks, the Batpod affords Batman greater mobility at the cost of some protection.
