With stabilizers and engines in the back, maybe sections fold out like wings. Curiouser and curiouser.

looks like borrowed HK pieces from Terminator Salvation Bale might have had lying around, had Nolan over for cocktails and war stories about who Hathaway gave a better Bj to, nolan saw those, asked what are those, then added hey...hows about a Bat-plane?

The whole idea of Batman having some kind of strange looking plane seems out of place in the Nolan-verse. The way the Tumbler and Bat-pod were brought in seemed somewhat real world-ish and practical, so I'm looking forward to seeing how Nolan uses it. I'm not bashing it or anything, just a bit thrown off by it. I'm sure by the time it shows up in the movie, I won't question it. I (sorta, kinda, under protest) trust Nolan.

I like it (maybe because it reminds me of some G.I. Joe toy that you would press a button and wings pop out). I definitely see this as having all kinds of stealth capabilities and maybe some ground maneuverability (based in part by the compact size. Who knows?
