Batman To Play Football & Drive Tumbler

 "The Dark Knight Rises" is starting to rear it's head and is flooring fanboys in it's path. First the teaser poster, then the leaked teaser (Sure you didn't watch it), and now some shots of the Tumbler and Batpod.

For those who were hoping that they would create a different car for the new film, fuck off. The Tumbler works and I want to see Batman work it in this installment.

In other Batman related news, Heinz Field will play host to two fictional teams going at it in the latest incarnation of Nolan's Batman series. See below for details courtesy of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Go Pats.

Here we go Gotham Rogues, here we go.

It doesn't quite have the same cadence as "Here we go, Steelers, here we go," but when fans file into Heinz Field on Aug. 6, it will be for a football game between the Rogues and rival Rapid City Monuments being staged for "The Dark Knight Rises."

The Steelers confirmed the stadium will double as a location for the Batman movie being filmed here starting in late July by director Christopher Nolan.

The one-day filming is scheduled to run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and is open to anyone 14 years old and up, but anyone younger than 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

These extras will be unpaid but eligible to win prizes such as a large, flat-screen TV, celebrity and sports autographs, "Dark Knight" and Steelers items, vintage comics, DVDs and gift cards.

Advance reservations through the website BeInAMovie.com are required. In the event of rain, filming could be rescheduled and participants will be notified.
