Editing Batcave (section)

====''The Dark Knight Trilogy''====

=====''Batman Begins''=====

{{main|Batman Begins}}
In ''Batman Begins'', the cave is still unfurnished, and the only things inside are a small workshop and a storage space for the Batsuit and its accessories, a medical area, and the [[Batmobile (Batman Begins)|Batmobile]]. The entrance and exit for the Batmobile are on a cliff, behind a waterfall. Alfred reveals to Bruce that during the Civil War, the Waynes used the vast cavern system as part of the [[Underground Railroad]]: after initially abseiling down a well to get into the cave, they discover a hidden Civil War-era mechanical elevator which is still functional and leads to a hidden entrance in the mansion, which they then use as the primary means of entrance to the cave. The elevator is accessed by tapping three keys on a piano. Near the end of the film, when Bruce talks to Alfred about rebuilding the burnt-down main section of Wayne Manor, Alfred suggests they "improve the foundation", which may mean improving and furnishing the cave as they rebuild the mansion.

=====''The Dark Knight''=====

{{main|The Dark Knight}}
As Wayne Manor is still under construction in ''The Dark Knight'', Batman's base of operations has been relocated to a large bunker beneath a shipping yard. One access point shown is through a shipping container which houses a secret hydraulic lift. The "Bat-bunker" also contains a wire mesh cage for the Batsuit, along with the associated weapons and tools, toolbox, and spare equipment for the Batmobile. In contrast to the Batcave, the large rectangular shaped room is brightly lit by banks of overhead fluorescent lights. Storage areas for the equipment are located both under the ground and within the walls giving the room a very empty appearance with the exception of a large bank of monitors to go with a well-developed computer system. In addition, the room is equipped with furnaces which Alfred uses to burn documents after Bruce decides to turn himself in.

=====''The Dark Knight Rises''=====

{{main|The Dark Knight Rises }}
The Batcave reappears in ''[[The Dark Knight Rises]]'' in full working condition. To access the cave, a similar way to ''Batman Begins'', tapping three keys on the piano will reveal a now modernly built elevator which takes the passenger straight to the cave. The newest addition to the cave is "[[Batplane#Live-action films|The Bat]]", a flying tank aircraft built by Wayne Enterprises' Applied Science Division and a Batcomputer as well as numerous landing pads and a locking case which contains the Batsuit. Added features included that the bridges used to gain access to different sections can be submerged as well as the platforms as a form of security measures in case anyone gains unauthorized access to the cave. While submerged the only visible object is a Batcomputer terminal which can only be accessed by either Bruce or Alfred's fingerprints and an access code. The cave from ''The Dark Knight'' appears as well, which contains weapons, supplies, and a back-up [[Batsuit]]. After Bruce Wayne is declared legally dead, his will is amended so that [[Robin in other media#Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy|John Blake]] inherits GPS coordinates that lead him to the Batcave.
