Batcave Design Thread.

I haven't seen one and well, might as well create one.

I personally don't care how the Batcave looks like as long as it has the giant dinosaur.

 

[FunkMiller]

Penny. Dinosaur. Zero explanation for either. Multiple Batmobiles and other Bat vehicles. Huge. Technologically advanced. Basically, the one from the Arkham games.

 

[Boom]

I really liked the cave in Arkham Origins, where there were tiered platforms each serving a specific purpose (medical platform, R&D platform, training platform, etc).

If it's an early days Batman, as is rumored, probably won't get this, but I'd really want to see the trophies as well as some glass cases with old suits. It'd also be cool to finally see the grandfather clock entrance.

 

[Invader Joker]

I've always been curious as to how a gigantic Batcave like this would look like in live action but I feel it'd be kind of a nightmare to build that set. I can't recall any other film set or location like this.

I don't remember a single Batcave that disappointed me. So anything will do.

Really? I thought the Nolan Batcave was weak as ****.

 

[Invader Joker]

What about a set like this?

 

[OutOfBoose]

Dunno. Perhaps not remarkable in size and not looking like a museum, but I like that it served more like a hidden entrance, had old architectural elements and hid the equipment underwater in case some spelunker stumbles upon it. Elegant simplicity and practicality. It also had the best Batcave scene ever.

Nolan had a great starting cave in Begins.
I liked the temporary loft he had instead of a batcave in TDK, but his TDKR cave was just disappointingly uninteresting.

Same. I don’t like them all equally, but I haven’t hated any of them either. I even liked the bunker in TDK.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I wasn’t a fan of Snyder’s Batcave. It didn’t feel like a cave to me. Nolan’s was disappointing because it was too bland. Weirdly, the bat-bunker from TDK was my favorite probably of the trilogy. If the new Batman movie takes anything from the 90s movies, it should be the fantastical visual flair they had. The way Gotham and the Batcave looked in those movies was just great simply because it threw realism out the window.

So much wasted potential for TDKR. We speculated endlessly about a new suit (maybe he gets an armored suit to fight Bane?), a new Batmobile, and a new Batcave.

 

[Enriquespy]

We got a flying roach.

I've liked all the caves we've had so far to varying degrees. Of the two most recent ones TDKR's cave didn't feel like it made good use of all it's space. It was nice and large, but never felt filled. I liked the aesthetic of Synder's cave and how filled it was, but it felt too small and cramped. That could be due to the way it was shot though.

I've always liked Joel Schumacher's caves. My favorite has to be the one from Arkham Origins. A more completed variation of that would be cool.

 

[Jekecy]

The multi-floor design is my preferred.

That could work as an early start. Burton's was along these lines, I think he was just limited by what he could do. Once Batman is into this game for several years, I want to see it expand and blow the lid off what people are normally expecting out of the cave. As a kid I was enamored with the cave from the Silver Age. Artists went wild with their imaginations. One day I'd love to see it come to fruition with a modern lens:

 

[Boy Scout]

I actually kind of liked Snyder’s cave. I’ll admit that it looked a bit too much like a fancy penthouse, but...well...duh. Bruce is rich as **** and he basically lives there anyway.

Comebine the sleekness of that cave with more traditional elements and you’d have yourself a damn good looking Batcave.

 

[Marvel united]

Arkham had a pretty great Batcave

 

[Invader Joker]

I like Snyder's cave and appreciate he didn't end up doing a CGI filled green screen monstrosity.

[antsman41]

The post-NML Batcave that user Jekecy posted above, was the best... it reigned from 2000 to around whenever the stupid New 52 started.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I think late 90s/early 00s is my favorite Batman era

 

[The Shape]

Burton had the right idea in Batman '89. Schumacher also gave us a pretty cool and comic booky cave in Batman Forever.

A more fleshed out, modern, and techy version of the B89 cave (which we never saw in its entirety) with a multi-level design would be great. Although, I don't know how advanced the overall cave design will be at first, given the emphasis on this being a "young Batman".

But it would be cool for him to have the same cave throughout these films, allowing us to see how he improves/upgrades/expands it over time.

 

[Invader Joker]

I hope they use Biltmore Estate to represent Wayne Manor in the film.
