So this might be the ‘Batwing’ in The Dark Knight Rises

I don’t know what the heck is happening in Pittsburgh, but it seems all secrecy for Christoper Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT RISES has gone out the window as practically every other day has brought us some sort of spy shot from the film’s set.

The latest, courtesy of Batman-News.com, is an image of what looks to be a new vehicle for the Caped Crusader’s arsenal. Many believe it’s the ‘Batwing’, which would make the most sense I suppose. The image below (which you can click to get a better look) does seem to indicate that it’s a flying contraption of some sort, perhaps with its wings retracted. Somehow, it reminds me a bit of the B-2 Spirit, a.k.a. the Stealth Bomber, albeit a smaller, weirder cousin of it. Like everything else in these films, it’s gotta have some sort of realistic grounding, right? What do you guys think?

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES opens July 20, 2012.
