I love the Batmobile going in and out of the Batcave.
I would have given an entire bag of gobstoppers for a go!
There's the original 1966 Batmobile leaving the cave.
and perhaps my fave bat-ride on film, the 1989 batmobile zooming through Tim Burton's gothic forest as it wends its way to the Wayne cave.
Have you a favourite Batmobile scene from the last 60 years?
Anything with the 1966 TV Batmobile in it gets my vote. It is the most beautiful car ever made.
ReplyDeleteI saw something on the internet about some fan hunting down the location of the Batcave entrance. I couldn't find that again, but here is a pretty good YouTube short about it...

Fascinating Looey! I enjoyed that. Its great what fans get up to!
DeleteThank you for that link. Here is another that was just sitting at the side of my screen, perhaps the one you mentioned ? Exploring Bronson Cave aka The Bat Cave, part of a series called Oddity Odysseys. It runs for 5:01. According to this, the cave is actually man-made, and is part of a quarry that opened in 1903. There are three entrances. Because the cave is more of a tunnel, and is fairly short, it was shot at an angle so you could not see the other openings. You can even see the famous Hollywood sign off to one side. Many movies and TV shows were shot there. The cave is in a park, and is accessible to the public. A very interesting little clip.

Great stuff Paul. It never ceases to amaze me what fans are able to do when they get the bit between their teeth. Or should I say bat! ha ha
DeleteBronson Caverns at Griffith Park was the filming location of so many 50s and 60s sci-fi and horror movies, and TV shows. After awhile, you can even spot the same locations in different films!
