Comic Con, one week out, here's what I know so far about vehicular things that will be there

All the Batman vehicles
On display in �The Batcave�: all six Batmobiles from television and film! For the first time ever, Comic-Con fans will have the opportunity to see all of Batman�s iconic onscreen vehicles live and in person, from Adam West�s 1955 Lincoln Futura to the Tumbler from The Dark Knight trilogy.
*Adam West�s 1955 Lincoln Futura featured in the cult classic television series and 1966�s Batman, the Movie.
*Michael Keaton�s Batmobile from 1989�s Batman and 1992�s Batman Returns. Sleek and powerful with a central turbine, the vehicles� slightly retro design followed Tim Burton�s art deco look of the films.
 *Revamped for Joel Schumacher�s 1995 Batman Forever, with bat-lighting and extended fins, Val Kilmer�s hot rod had the ability to drive up walls.
 *Schumacher updated the Batmobile once again for George Clooney in 1997�s Batman & Robin.
*At 33 feet long and a top speed of 350 mph with afterburner thrust, this was the largest and fastest Batmobile on the road.
 *The Tumbler designed for Christopher Nolan�s 2005 Batman Begins and 2008�s The Dark Knight is the prototype military vehicle designed by the character Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman).
 *The unveiling of the replacement Camouflage Tumbler, to be seen in 2012�s The Dark Knight Rises, in theaters and IMAX July 20.
All these are going to on the waterfront side of the convention center, in the park http://comiccon.thewb.com/2012/wbsdccextra/
