Batmania


This weekend, we made an impromptu trip to Kansas City to see the Batman Tumbler and Batpod on it's cross-country tour.  They are bringing out the actual, working movie props to promote the July 20th release of Batman: Dark Knight Rises.  (And, yes, I'm sure we'll be seeing that one at a midnight premier.)  In all of my dorky-mom glory, I dressed my boys up in their best Batman gear for the event. :)  As expected, we were not the only dorks in attendance.  Actually, the event was very well attended.  And even I was impressed with the sheer SIZE of the Tumbler.  We took a lot of pictures with the Tumbler and then decided to come back later in the day to watch them drive the Tumbler back onto the truck trailer.  Now... I have to admit that I was a little reluctant to come back to the event just to see a car move -- but it turned out to be really cool.  It has the loud, roaring engine you would expect and then a wimpy little horn (beep, beep).  :)  I have a video on my phone which I will try to upload soon.  Anyways, here are my pictures of Batmania weekend...






To prove that I was there too...
