Jay Leno drives Batman’s Tumbler through the mean streets of Burbank

Watching Jay Leno driving the actual Tumbler built for Christopher Nolan's Batman movies reveals several insights. First, the sound of the Tumbler in the films was pretty close to reality; it squeaks and grinds with menace even just pulling away from a stoplight. Secondly, I don't know of a smaller window in automotive history that comes with its own windshield wiper. And finally, even a Tumbler can only do so much to make the industrial underbelly of Burbank look interesting.
