'The Dark Knight Rises' Set: Batwing, Tumblers, Catwoman Footage (VIDEO)

By now, with all the detailed footage that paparazzi have captured on the city street set, Christopher Nolan and the producers of "The Dark Knight Rises" must just desperately want to get out of Pittsburgh. Unfortunately for them, we now know what their getaway vehicles might look like, too.

Then again, they are pretty sweet looking rides.

Major filming on Christopher Nolan's star-studded final Batman epic was done over the weekend in the Steel City, including chase scenes caught on tape by gathered onlookers. Revealing bits and pieces were caught with amateur cameras, including some up close looks at Batman's trusty air option, the Batwing. It's a big of a monstrosity, though it should look pretty intense and advanced once special effects are added.

Also getting sizable screen time is the army of tumblers that have been prowling Pittsburgh's streets over the past few weeks, as well as some detailed footage of Anne Hathaway's Catwoman stunt double.

Check out some of the videos below, and click here for an entire set of photos and video from earlier in the shoot.

Catwoman in the cycle sequence appears to be a stunt double, not Anne.

This batwing does not look aerodynamic enough to fly. Must have some super secret special military technology that Morgan Freeman invented.

Catwoman looks awful, I'm thinking I'll be passing on this abortion.

Agreed. This is too much of a deviation from what Catwoman has always looked like. We'll see how Cat-like Hatheway is in her portrayal.

It really isn't. Short the ears, and switch out the mask for (more appropriate) goggles, this isn't that far removed from the Julie Newmar outfit, though more leathery and less shiny. I don't see a thing wrong with it.

The Dark Knight was a lumbering, pompous movie. Other than the performance of Ledger it was a bore. Nolan was better when he made small films.

There's something about the way in which all this footage includes numerous people shooting still more footage of each other shooting each other shooting…

Never mind.

The batwing looks like the Queen Aliens head from Aliens as well. WFT?

For a few moments I forgot about Julie Newmar.

Just a few though, Julie is still the hottest Catwoman ever.

Everything design wise about Nolan's Batman franchise is so badly conceptualized. The suit, car and that silly looking bike is just awful. This is not Batman at all.

It's only vaguely Batman

It's basically "Urban Crimefighter Who Drives Tanks Rises"

Yes, bring back the neon and nipples.
