The Batcave located beneath Wayne Manor, is Batman's primary headquarters.
History[]
Bruce Wayne discovered that there were caves underneath his family mansion at some point after his parents were murdered. In keeping his decision to fight crime as a vigilante, he adopted the caverns as a secret operations center. It was inside the cave that Bruce first assumed the mantle of the Bat.
The Batcave serves as a garage and mechanic's workshop for Batman's vehicles, a crime laboratory for all his equipment (including the Batcomputer) and a museum of sorts for various trophies. The cave also features a gymnasium and a high-tech obstacle course, to keep Batman and his associates in fighting condition.
Layout[]
Batman constructed at least two access points to the cave:
- A grandfather clock in the manor library concealed a flight of stone stairs leading down to the cave.
- A secret tunnel hidden in an alley in Gotham, connected to an underground path that allows the Batmobile to enter and exit the cave.
There is also a means of allowing flying vehicles, such as the Batwing, to exit.
