First Concept Art From 'The Dark Knight Manual: Tools, Weapons, Vehicles and Documents from the Batcave' Online

New scans of the upcoming movie art book The Dark Knight Manual: Tools, Weapons, Vehicles and Documents from the Batcave by Brian T. Snyder are online and they have some concept art from The Dark Knight Rises.

Description: 

In 2005, filmmaker Christopher Nolan redefined Batman for a new generation with Batman Begins, followed in 2008 by The Dark Knight, and now 2012’s conclusion to the trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. Here, for the first time, is an in-world exploration of Christopher Nolan’s Batman: The Dark Knight Manual, the definitive guide to his tools, vehicles, and technologies. Following the destruction of Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne began to assemble key sketches, diagrams, observations, and other top-secret documents germane to becoming Batman; he then entrusted this manual to his faithful butler, Alfred. Every defining moment is detailed here, charting Wayne’s collaborations with Lucius Fox at Wayne Enterprises on the latest cutting-edge technology. Featuring removable documents, including the design and capability of the famed utility belt, the hi-tech functions of Batman’s cowl, and every detail of his amazing arsenal of weapons and gadgets, The Dark Knight Manual reveals how Bruce Wayne operates as Gotham’s greatest protector.

The Dark Knight Manual: Tools, Weapons, Vehicles and Documents from the Batcave won't be available till July 24, 2012, but is available for pre-order.

I'm still waiting for art from The Art and Making of The Dark Knight Trilogy to go online.

What do you think of the illustrations?
