When Batman Begins came out in 2005, no one cared that the “tumbler” looked nothing like the classic Batmobile because it was freaking awesome. Seriously, it would take a small army to take that thing down. But what’s the one thing they could do to make it even more badass? Make it fly, of course! Apparently, Christopher Nolan thought the exact same thing when he started filming The Dark Knight Rises.

In a new spot, Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) introduces us to what he calls “The Bat.” We call it “the tumbler with wings.” As you’d expect, it comes complete with missiles and all sorts of fun explode-y things. We’ve also got some new shots of The Bat as well as Bane’s mystery ball of doom courtesy of Superhero Hype:
