I just wanna say I've been watching this channel since 2014 (I was 11 now I'm 19) and you're the biggest reason to why I've become a such a huge comic book reader. I really appreciate the work you guys put into these videos and I wish you all more success :))).

Batman has eight batcaves... he even has a mini Batcave also I love how he collects souvenirs from every bad guy he takes down

[shaundocmcgowan]

I love what Nolan did by stating it’s origin, where it was used in the 1800’s to transport fugitive slaves as a part of the Underground Railroad . Explained to Bruce by Alfred.

[kratoscraken]

This was cool and it is said Batman has actually more the 1 Batcave and not to mention he has multiple bases all around Gotham 👌

My favorite version of the Batcave would be from the 60’s / Adam West version because of the cool automatic costume change pole Bruce and Dick slides down as their entrance. In fact, I’m surprised it isn’t mentioned in this vid.

I know it wasn't mention nor do I think anyone would count this version of The Cave, but I really liked the satellite Bat Cave in the video game, Batman Arkham Asylum. I thought it was cool how it's a suspended version of the original. Kinda adding to the persona of a bat. Not to mention, it came with the crime lab, a batwing, and it was so off in the cut that only Batman himself could've easily accessed it, given how many times his cave has been inflitrated. Still nothing beats the original though!

Love your channel, Arris!!!

Lillie: “Because of the Batcave it gave me the idea to have two of my own.“

[UltimateSpider]

The two best things I love about the Bat Cave are the Giant Penny and The Robot T-Rex 🦖.

[leekaisheongjames]

Jim Lee's Batcave is the best... The details are gorgeouslicious

[mostafafarweez]

My favorite is from 1989 movie. There is something special about the1st time you see something and sticks with you.

Love your comic and the channel Arris, thanks for always keeping people who don’t always have time to read comics to stay up to date and informed

[kevbarron]

For anyone who's seen The Batman recently and is confused as to where the batcave is in it.
Bruce stays at Wayne tower near the centre if Gotham city. There used to be a private rail road from Wayne manor to Wayne tower. It was private and used by Wayne enterprises staff. So basically the basement of Wayne tower is where Wayne station is. Only known by Alfred and Bruce.

I am so grateful I found this channel back in 2011. It’s been the best thing for me to watch on YouTube my dude!

[Optimusprime]

I love the Arkham Origins Batcave, was pretty dope being able to explore it and see the cool Easter eggs, like the Asylum Batmobile.

[SpammytheHedgehog]

Bruce is very smart. No one would ever think of using a cave.

[roccoborghetti]

I honestly think that Arkham Origins had the best rendition of the Batcave to date. It’s simple, practical, realistic, and iconic. Obviously it’s a “Year One” kind of cave so not everything is in it yet but there’s tons of room to expand and make a trophy room, exit tunnel for the Batmobile, and a mooring but overall it’s got everything else. Batcomputer, Workshop, Medical facility, Training Grounds, 2 elevators to Wayne Manor, garage, Batwing landing pad, forensics lab, and a revolving case for all the Batsuits.

I like the post Nomansland Batcave. The fact that the floor has fallen out and now Batman has had to rebuild it around that endless chasm with different levels.

[blickyru]

Do a video over DC universe locations. Gotham, Bludhaven, Metropolis, Central City, etc

[bradmcalister]

That was fun! I always wondered how he got the Batcave built, like logistically speaking. How did he justify the work down there?? Was the electrician just like "Oh yeah, perfectly normal to be running this much power to the cave beneath the house."
Also, was this a union job? If not we need to talk to the site manager..
