Things have changed with The Dark Knight where director Christopher Nolan’s version of Batman is an almost-believable early adopter, with every high tech gizmo at his disposal firmly grounded in real-world technology.
Bat-Pod
This machine-gunning, shoulder-navigated, gimbals-sporting two-wheeler is made for multitasking, allowing Batman to fire its guns, steer hands-free and maneuver hard without much risk of a wipeout.
Sticky-Bomb Gun
This weapon fires sticky, orange bomb pellets that adhere to glass. The gun is collapsible, breaking down to small pieces that Batman can store on his belt.
3-D Sonar System
The cowl-mounted sonar device triangulates Joker’s cellphone signals and then renders the sound of their communication into a 3-D visual map.
I found The Dark Knight, or whatever it’s being called now, had a few cool gadgets and tech, as Batman it better have, but as for the movie itself, wait for the cheap DVD and watch it in HD at home on your computer. You won’t be missing anything, especially the poor and overhyped acting performances, and the obvious lack of a plot.
