I got to see the Batman Begins/Dark Knight Batmobile today. It will be at the Children's Museum in Indianapolis until next May. It was one of 8 made for the Nolan movies and one of 6 that are actually functioning, drivable vehicles. This one was used for some of the street driving in "Gotham". A collector in England loaned it to the museum for the exhibit (DC comics preferred they display a new one vs. the more kid-friendly '60s version and hooked up the museum with the collector). It's very cool looking in person.

Oh, and if you ever wanted to read a copy of Action Comics #1, they have a scanned, flash animated one that you can read in one of the kiosks.
They are trying to figure out how to make a permanent exhibit using the 20,000 comics a local collector's family gave to the museum.
