Batman is one gadgety fellow, this I must admit. Makes me wonder why is he so serious and uptight all the time - he is sorta like an anti-persona of Tony Starks a.k.a. Iron Man who is a flamboyant playboy with the penchant for the grand. The Batpod was paraded at the recently concluded British Formula 1 Grand Prix last weekend, boasting an unconventional motorcycle design that is steered by shoulder, using a hands-free approach to help Batman rig his other gizmos to catch crooks and the like. As for the engines of this beast, they're located in the hubs of the monster 20" wheels. Man, what would I give to have one of these babies in my garage? I wonder what the mileage is like for the Batpod...
