I can understand maybe one motorbike exploding up through the stage floor as a set-piece, but I agree, choreographed motorbikes, skateboards & BMX's don't seem to belong on stage?
Can you imagine one motorbike getting it wrong (which is highly possible); the stage will be like a traffic accident.
I can see the need for flying sequences (hence the acrobats), and if done in the style of Cirque du Soleil, can be quite stunning.

In regards 'shoe-horning', I think some or all of the Bat songs will need lyrical re-writes, to work effectively, and I'm not sure whether Jim will want to do this or not.

Well, JD seemed to love the 'reading' of Jim's script, and there's nothing confirmed (yet), that another writer is taking over.
I do think though, that the show will probably be improved if Jim does collaborate with a more established playwright (note 'collaborate' and not 'is replaced').
