When Optimus met Batman

IN A film filled with giant CGI robots and huge explosions, an extreme sport has been used to add a touch of real action.

In Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, a military team decides there is only one way past the evil Decepticon robots and into the under-siege city of Chicago - flying in using wingsuits.

While the Decepticons are the result of computer graphics, the wingsuits aren't a creative piece of work - they're based on actual flying suits.

TNP infographics journalist Joanathan Roberts takes a look at how the suits and flying work.
