Batman's Tumbler And Bat-Pod May Be Coming To A City Near You

Batman has a number of modes of transportation, among which are the Tumbler, which first appeared in Batman Begins, and the Bat-Pod, which made its excellent debut in The Dark Knight. Normally, it'd probably be fair to say it's unlikely that you might stumble upon either of these vehicles in your local city - unless you live in Gotham - but that may not be the case beginning this weekend.

(Mild vehicle-related spoiler alert!) Batman fans can expect to see both the Tumbler and the Bat-Pod in the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises, which is set to release into theaters on July 20th. But you may be able to see them before then if you happen to be in one of the cities on their coast-to-coast tour of the U.S. Warner Bros. announced the current list of dates and locations of Tumbler Tour 2012, which will give fans the opportunity to see the two vehicles in person.
