Six Batmobiles and the Bat-Pod are currently finishing up a tour of sporting events across America to mark the upcoming home entertainment release of The Dark Knight Rises on December 4.

The tour started October 27 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX and included a stop at the LSU-Alabama football game earlier this month. It also features stops at this Sunday’s Ravens-Steelers game in Pittsburgh, PA and apparently at a random Best Buy near Akron, OH. We were lucky enough to hear about the unannounced Best Buy stop and capture some cool images (no, we didn’t receive any type of Bat Signal). Check out images (with overviews of each vehicle in the first seven slides) in the slide show above.

The tour ends back at Cowboys Stadium on Thanksgiving, when the Cowboys battle the Washington Redskins.
