UPDATED: Want to See Batman’s Bat-Pod and Tumbler Alongside Other Ravenous, Hysterical ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Fans?
UPDATED: The Tumbler Tour’s official page has now listed its full list of stops and, in many cases, precise locations! Head over to the Tumbler Tour page and click on “Tour Dates” in the upper right hand corner.
If you’re eagerly anticipating Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises as much as most people (in Reject terms, we’re second-best anticipating it) and its release date of July 20th is just too damn far away for you to handle, Warner Bros. is rolling out a special tour of two essential items in the Batman franchise that might fit you like a glove (skintight Batman suit?). Warner and Legendary Pictures have just unveiled a multi-state “Tumbler Tour” for Batman’s Tumbler and Bat-Pod, both of which are trucking it across the country over the next three months.
Mountain Dew and IMAX are sponsoring the tour, which is currently set to hit over twenty different towns and cities, so not only can you rest your eyeballs on two of the Bat’s favorite modes of transportation, we’re betting you can refresh your tastebuds with everyone’s favorite green soda. Hey, it’s something to do! Details are otherwise slim, including precise event locations, if we can expect any special guests to show up, and pretty much anything else (will you be able to touch the Tumbler? The world needs to know!), but it should prove to be an interesting way to satiate fans until The Dark Knight Rises explodes everyone’s minds later this summer.
