How to Make the LEGO Batman Tumbler

In the movie "Batman Begins," released by Warner Brothers in 2005, Batman races through the streets of Gotham chasing down bad guys in his "Tumbler," which is designed to sustain blows, be able to roll and change shapes. When the fictional vehicle was too badly wrecked to continue functioning, Batman pressed a button and voila - a motorcycle, with weapons, popped out. Batman fans can now recreate the Batman Tumbler in miniature form, with the Batman Tumbler LEGO set and a few additional tweaks.
