Looks like someone took a lawmaster and chopped off everything but the wheels and guns.
Article features awful comic book pun in title
Wholly high-tech, Batman

And yet the movie Lawmaster had puny wheels because it "wasn't possible" for a bike to have big-ass tyres. Tsk...

that's what everyone said a few years ago about the revamped batmobile, but i thought it kicked arse in the actual film, so i'll reserve judgement. plus also you cant really see it very well in that pic

It's disgraceful when you look at the "scooters" the judges had to ride in that "movie".
There's no excuse now not to make a lawmaster for that impossible new Dredd film no one's talking about.

Well a Batpod/bike thing makes more sense than a batmobile which was always a silly idea.

"Well a Batpod/bike thing makes more sense than a batmobile which was always a silly idea."
How'd you figure that? In the batmobile he's fully shielded and bulletproof. What happens if someone snipes him on the (kinda silly looking) bat bike? This is the first thing about the new film I haven't liked.

Wouldn't a batbike be easier to get around the city on?

They said it couldn't be steered, with aircraft wheels they tried, that weren't even as big as those on the Batpod.

Maybe, but he didn't seem to have much trouble getting around the city in the first film in the tumbler, driving on rooftops and punching straight through walls and highway intersections. And he had the added protection of several layers of armour which he doesn't have on the bike.

I think I preferred the look of the Batmobile from the other films as a batmobile, but the tumbler is a cool more realistic take of such a vehicle, and yes I agree it worked great in the film.
As for that batbike... it does look kind of odd yes. Actually, apart from the unfinished look (good point by the way) I think it's the size of the guns on the front tire. They seem out of proportion somehow.

Yeah, but the damage done to the city is ridiculous, Batman seems more of a menace in it than the criminals.
