See this link: http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=15175826&postcount=453 (or see it here in context: http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?p=15176611). I think it's because there is only one front 'fork' (which is able to rotate). Anyway, here is a clip of this 'spinning' in action (taken from that thread given above): http://s222.photobucket.com/albums/dd87/sugarfiend06/?action=view&current=batpodclip.flv. On another note, a possible idea for an article/blog post is to compare vehicles from movies/TV shows (say for example the Audi from 'I, Robot', the Lexus from 'Minority Report' (also designed by Harald Belker), the DeLorean from 'Back to the Future', and the Beetle from 'Herbie' :P). (Assuming of course this kinda post hasn't already been posted).

Glad you liked the article. Yeah Vaughan....Anton's batmobile is still one of my all time favorites! Rotaris, I can't wait to see this movie. I did see the trailer you were speaking of with the Batpod having the wheels spin and rotate. I was not sure what to make of it so I thought I would reserve any comment until I saw the movie. There were a couple items I wanted to review including the old 60's batmobile but ran out of time. I do think Harald Belkers Batmobile design for "Batman and Robin" was pretty cool but I just could not take the design seriously. As you say, it was over the top for a Batman flick. Thanks guys.

I just love the Tumbler's design and moreover how the Batpod relates to it (you'll understand after watching The Dark Knight). The really cool thing about the Batpod is that the front wheel of the Batpod actually spins/turns/rotates in sharp changes in direction (it's kinda hard to describe. This spinning/turning/rotating motion can be seen in the trailer/movie when Batman blasts out of an alley). Hmmm, and I wonder what would happen if Batman's cape got caught in the rear wheel when riding... By the way, the Batmobile from Batman and Robin (the crappy one with George Clooney and costumes with nipples and fake moulded muscles) wasn't too bad either but again, it was over the top for 'Batman'. Nice article!
