THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - THE BAT VEHICLE Laser-Etched Glass Cube

OK, This is one of those glass cubes you usually see at Truck Stops and Flea Markets where it's a glass cube with some mysterious 3D artwork that is inside.

It's gonna measure about 4" high x 4" wide x 4" deep and will have a retail price of $29.95.
