Diehard Fan Builds 2 Million Dollar Batcave

You will require years of training and nerves of steel if you want to become Batman, but to get your very own batcave all you need is $2 million of disposable income.

A diehard Batman fan is having a home theatre constructed which will resemble the Dark Knight's cave. The cave is being built by Elite Home Theater Seating and is decked with a batcomputer, Tumbler, cape and cowl, secret passages, sound effects, gargoyles, a 180 inch screen, and even a Bat-themed elevator for those urgent situation when the stairs just wont do.

The following images are a CGI mock-up of what the cave will finally look like.



Here is a shot with the bookcases open, revealing the Batmobile in a hidden secret room, complete with its own tunnel exit.



And if you thought most of these are just dummy models, then think again! There is also a separate study which acts as the entrance to the hidden cinema. The study, complete with a stately grandfather clock, is flanked by bookshelves upon which sits a bust of William Shakespeare, the head of which must be turned clockwise to swing open the hidden door behind the grandfather clock. This is the entrance to the elevator. A real fingerprint scan is also required to gain access to the elevator.

Beyond this, you need to press a Batsymbol button to begin the descent into the cave while flashing lights and graphics indicate your body is being scanned. Once you have been identified as rightful visitors, a female robotic voice will announce "Security Clearance Granted". Inside there are 6 bat-suits on display and a life-size replica of the Tumbler.


Elite HTS executive Bobby Bala told Daily Mail, "The Dark Knight themed custom home theater was actually a design concept we did free of charge for one of our previous clients, mainly just for fun. Personally, I'm a huge Batman fan and with a background in CG animation, we were able to finish up the design within a couple weeks."

Eh. If you're all about aesthetics, yes.

If you're a person who admires practicality, the tumbler totally owns it. The first time I saw it before Batman Begins my initial reaction was "Wow. That's... practical!"

I thought the plots and characters of Burton's batman films were bad, but the stage he set was amazing. The sets and props (including the impractical batmobile) were visually awesome.

Awesome Batcave, but why have the tumbler if you can't drive it? Wait, he can't drive it, right?
