Batman's Wheels (Sunday, July 13)

Is your family itching to see the new Batman movie? I don’t blame them. (I’m not supposed to tell you this, but I’ve seen it, and it’s awesome.) The Dark Knight won’t be in theaters until July 18, but you can get a head start when two of the high-tech vehicles from the movie make a promotional stop in Niagara Falls this weekend. The newly designed “Bat-Pod” (pictured) is a sort of monster truck version of a motorcycle, useful for those tighter situations when the Batmobile just won’t do. Also on display will be the Tumbler, the 21st-century Batmobile that debuted in Batman Returns. The vehicles will be accompanied by technician Moses Paskowitz and will be on display this Sunday from 11:30am to 2:30pm on Goat Island at Niagara Falls State Park. Check it out, and if you see any studio executives there point out what a great location the Falls would make for the next Bat-movie.
