The Batmobile has to be the most recognizable and iconic of pop culture vehicles. A combination of state of the art design and childlike wish fulfillment, the Batmobile started in print as traditional car but soon mutated into a bizarre creation that could only exist in the funny books. Imagine the surprise when Batman's signature vehicle was made into a reality by first George Barris and later many others.

Seven unique versions of the Batmobile from the Batman TV and film franchises will be on the road starting with a stop in Dallas at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. From 11AM to 3PM on Saturday and again on Sunday at the 10 AM half time.

Official press release below:

For the first time in Batman franchise history, witness six Batmobiles and the Bat-Pod as they embark on a tour of sporting events across America prior to the December 4th home entertainment release of The Dark Knight Rises, the final film in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.
