None of the Batman movies live by action has yet to show Batkave as as grandiose as in comics. In the "Dark Knight" trilogy, it's just some fences, platforms and a computer console embedded in cave systems under Wayne Manor. DC's extended universe films, From Batman vs. Superman onwards, he showed the cave As a modernist house with many glass coverings. The best review was in Matt Reeves's "Batman", which made Batkave look like an abandoned underground station in the subway - perfect for Batman who lives and hides in the heart of the city of Gotham.

The Batman comic, however, does not just keep his equipment - from his Batmobile to his Batcomputer - in Batcave. It is also equipped with trophies of his unforgettable adventures. The three biggest trophies, as you may have seen in "Batman: the animated series", are a giant card Joker, a giant denar and a life-sized T-size T-Rex. The last one is especially difficult to miss. When Flash visits Batkaway for the first time in the "Justice League", he is surprised: "It's a giant dinosaur!" (Alfred: "And I thought Batman was a detective.")

Where did Batman get this good statue? Returns to Batman in 1946 "Batman" #35, where Batman and Robin had an adventure on the island of Dinosaur.

Now, this is not The "real" island of the dinosaur Introduced in 1960, which houses real living and breathing dinosaurs. No, in "Batman" #35, an eccentric showman named Murray Wilson Hart has decided to build a theme park of animatonic dinosaurs. He invites Batman and Robin to tour him, but a criminal named Steven Chase kidnapped the dinosaurs to try and kill the dynamic duo. He fails, but the island of Dinosaur is not going anywhere; Batman had to keep the Anitronics of the T-Rex park, and he got stuck in Batkave.

What about the other Batkaway trophies? Do they have similar dynamic origin?

It is easy enough to assume where the Joker card, covered by Batman's archin dock. The giant denar comes from the "best world" #30, released in 1947 (note that the denar was dated that year). That comic book had a story where Batman and Robin fought with the awkward villains, penny robbery, who tried to steal the giant denar from a public exhibition. Instead, Batman had to keep it. "Batman: The animated series" made a two-person trophy, a much-known villain with Batman thematic coins. As shown In the classic episode "I almost got them", Two person once tied Batman to him for a deadly flip, only to reduce the dark knight.

As for why these are the three trophies that most often appear in Batkave? They are big and difficult to miss, which means they are rooted in the memories of the bats as important bodies of Batkave. "Batman: the animated series" which is also contributed; That show It is defined as definitive Batman for a generation. Plus, drawing a comic book in Batman usually doesn't offer much chances to draw dinosaurs, so maybe artists jump into the chance.

Excessive architecture has always been a characteristic of Gotham City, whether it is the huge feeling of silver breast, the dark German expressionism of Tim Burton's "Batman" or mid -20th -century artistic deco in "Batman: the animated series". Batman's dinosaur furniture in the cave he calls at home fit to the right with Gotham City's appearance.
