Genuine screen Batmobiles on display at San Diego Comic-Con

From the 1960s to the present day, the open air exhibit celebrates all the versions of the iconic car

Parked in front of the Hilton Bayfront hotel (near where the epic overflow queue for the main Hall H snakes around corners and along promenades) are parked various iterations of the screen Batmobile. For fans - including your chums on SFX - it was a real chance to get up close and geek out at the real four-wheeled super-stars of TV and film.

Although there's no official panel on stage for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises , the full exhibit shows versions of the Batmobile from the 1966 movie to the recent Tumblers and is free to walk around.

Here are some snaps from the exhibition which runs all weekend to the east of the Convention Center where Comic-Con is taking place:
