Batcave Design Thread.

[cryptic name]

Spoiler

It's BS. We know that Bruce Wayne is already out in public in this movie. Per the verified insider that showed a photo of Rob's chair, he went to a state funeral all dressed up billionaire playboy-like

Spoiler

I don't have anything invested in it really, but just for the sake of conversation; We don't know when in the movie the funeral takes place. It could be after he's forced to step into the spotlight as Bruce Wayne.

I liked the cave in Batman Begins, I hope we get something similar and it more of a work room with potential for expansion.

give me this on screen please.

I'm not expecting any bat-y, classic and comic-accurate looking batcave. At most I expect some stalactites.
What I think we'll see will be a bunker. When I saw War I remember seeing that interior set design and thinking to myself that this looked very Batman inspired, so I expect something like this (very militant and non-excessive):

Man, remembering how gritty and dark and cinematic War was, I get really excited to think that Reeves would bring that darkness and gritiness and cinematic values to Batman!

You may be onto something. This does feel like it fits the rest of the super practical industrial aesthetic Reeves is going for. I'd expect it to be a smaller place though. Maybe something like an industrial garage under Wayne Manor that connects to the city via underground passageways and forgotten tunnels.

 

[Invader Joker]

I do think that this cave won't be covered in water like other caves have been nor have an endless abyss. I imagine it'll follow the rest of everything we've seen: something practical that could actually exist and be functional.

 

[Thomas Wayne 92]

I bet it's going to look like this.

 

[hellblazer103]

I bet it's going to look like this.

As long as his hair doesn't, sheesh lmao

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I'd be fine with something akin to that. At least it's a cave.

Bringing this thread alive since I believe this version of the Batcave, at least in the beginning, is in an old, abandoned, Wayne Terminal Subway Station at the center of Gotham. This will also allow him to travel to areas of the city undetected using the abandoned tunnels. Thoughts?

Honestly I dig the approach. We haven't seen much of the design of this Batcave yet, but I like the abandoned train station aesthetic so far and am quite into the idea that Bruce is using a network of abandoned tunnels across Gotham City to travel more quickly and undetected from place to place.

Absolutely - I also believe they were setting up to shoot a scene of him entering the "Batcave" in Liverpool but shut down due to Covid back in March. Now the question is, where is Wayne Manor located?

 

[antsman41]

Still need a post-NML batcave in a film, this isn't the best image of it... but I believe Rucka designed it [just like the Gotham map we all know].

Always loved how deep this cave was, with its layered sections. Instead of the shallow-sprawling caves were usually given and used to.

 

[Milkman95]

I do hope we get to a place in this trilogy where we see something like that - I think the abandoned Subway Station is another "Batcave", which allows him to utilize the network of tunnels and is more centrally located. He might also have the actual Cave as well, this is going to be interesting.

That's my thought as well. What we see is one of many hubs that Bruce secretly has access to, in order to covertly traverse through Gotham relatively undetected.

He'll still have the cave which we haven't seen yet. Reeves exclaimed about pulling all the classic Batman elements and distilling them into something raw. I don't see him excluding the Batcave.

 

[Brother Jack]

If he does get an actual cave, I bet it won't be until the end of the film.

 

[Invader Joker]

Yeah this is definitely the cave. Reeves talked about how he wanted to make the movie as if it'd happen in real life, so he probably thought that having the batcave be on an abandoned tunnel station was more realistic.

Here's the images brightened up:



And here are some details I noticed:

It kinda looks like the “taking the cowl off” shot from the end of the trailer is in a smaller space. Maybe that gigantic subway station has more layers to it. In that tunnel passed the computers, it could lead to more. Which may lead to a traditional cave setting.

It looks so massive that I wouldn’t be mad at all if he just decorates it throughout the trilogy. The stairs on each side are amazing.

The NO MORE LIES + funeral set leak guy was told about Wayne Manor and the batcave. He said Batman used tunnels to get in and out of the city. That Wayne Manor was not on the outskirts, but in the center of Gotham (based on the Rothchilds mansion design).

 

[Gothamsknight]

Im loving the batcave design! It looks massive and there's so much room for new additions too.

The platform the Batmobile is on looks to be the same platform that can be seen in the wide shot of the station/depot. You can make out the same tire rails.

 

[metaphysician]

I do prefer an actual proper cave underneath Wayne Manor, but I also like the idea of using abandoned/lost subway tunnels as a means of secret transit and forward basing. I mean, Gotham in supposed to be a fantasy New York, and even the real world New York City has a vast and unknown world hiding under its depths.
