Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh... time for a SERIOUS re-do here. Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha. ANYWAY, we've ALL wanted a cool, bad-ass version of the Batcave, THE headquarters for any superhero. Ok, ok, so Supes' Fortress of Solitude has neat, intergalactic stuff, but come ON, this is THE BATCAVE; the Bat computer, all the neat vehicles, and the legendary trophy room. There have been a few attempts to recreate the Cave... all rather 'eh.' MY turn. Hehehehehehehhehehhee.
First, the scale. We want to maximize the amount of stuff to show.... so we're thinking SMALL, with figures that would be in scale with, oh, say Micro-master type figures from the 'Star Wars' micro-master vehicle line. Why the change in scale since I love the 5" size? Practicality. Yes, it would be VERY cool to have a Batcave for a 5" Batman figure. Problem is who could AFFORD a Batcave like that. In addition, if you made the cave on that large a scale, you couldn't have EVERYTHING; the lab, the training area, the trophy room, et al. So we go small.
Now the fun part; include just about EVERY section of the Cave. We need a multi-tiered structure; you have the main level with the Bat-computer and vehicle garage, second level for the labs, training area, and trophy room, and the lower level for the Bat-boat. Considering how well the Micro-master vehicles came out, detail shouldn't be a problem recreating the rocky interior of the Cave with the assorted displays, keyboards, and other neat gizmos.
Naturally, there are LED and other light-up display all over the place to duplicate the computer displays of the Batcave.
And don't forget the figures. The set should include Batman, Robin, Alfred, and Harold, the Cave's general handy-man. The set should also come with miniature versions of the Batmobile, Batplane, Batcopter, and Batboat, scaled to accommodate the figures the
Ah, at last, a version of the Batcave even Martha Stewart would be proud of. ... ok, maybe not.
