It's Not a 'Batwing' Or A 'Batcopter'!! Instead, It's...

Merrick here...

You know that black, Firefox jet kinda flying contraption which flashes past in the current DARK KNIGHT RISES trailer?  The one we saw all the spy photos of a few months back?  The one which looks like this?  

Over the past few months, we've heard many different names attached to this device:  Batplane, Batcopter, etc. - but no one's known with any level of certainty what it'll actually be called.  

Apparently, Hot Wheels has a remote control toy of the vehicle in the works, and recently filed details on said plaything with the FCC.  WirelessGoodness and the FCC (via ComingSoon) now reveal that the registered name of Batman's new flyingmajiggie is:  "The Bat."  

Yeah.  "The Bat."  So...there.  I wonder if the real plane will run on AA batteries as well?  Could be an awesome plot point.
