A crowd of kids fresh out of Wall-E matinees and aging comedian book fans gathered outside of Olathe’s AMC theatre this daylight to catch a sight of the Bat Pod, the new bat vehicle from the forthcoming Dark Knight movie.

Bat Pod is basically a truly long chopper with monster truck wheels and guns on the front. I’m as eager for the movie as anybody else; however for some of these people the hype seems to have exaggerated their brain chemistry. Said one girl who claimed to have walked 8 miles immediately to see the Pod: “Just the thought that Christian Bale in fact sat on that. It’s so sexual, so powerful.”
