Factory Entertainment 1966 Batman Television Series Batcave Diorama
TO THE BATCAVE! Those three words evoke one of the most memorable interior locations in pop culture. Batman’s sanctuary, his base of operations, the nerve center of his activities-a mysterious subterranean lair that is equal-parts forbidding and exciting.
The Batcave has enjoyed many iterations over the years, both in print and on-screen. One of the most enduring and iconic was the version that featured in the classic 1966 Batman TV series.
As children, the Team at Factory Entertainment were among the millions of fans who dreamed of visiting the classic TV series Batcave (who wouldn’t?). Alas, that dream never came to pass, but the fascination with the Batcave never faded. Now, at long last, we are proud to be able to offer our fellow Bat-fans the opportunity to own a scaled version of this favorite location. We hope you enjoy being the master of your own Batcave as much as the Team at Factory entertainment enjoyed creating it.
In practical terms, there was not one Batcave set. Rather, it was a series of ever-changing sets that would physically morph from scene to scene and season to season. It was a ‘live’ set that evolved regularly.
Because of the many variations in the Batcave seen on screen, this model does not attempt to duplicate a particular arrangement from a given episode or a specific scene. Rather it replicates the “feel” of the Batcave set as it is most commonly seen. The inclusion of movable elements allows you to customize the look of the cave around a core group of fixed parts, including the prominent ’atomic pile,’ which are presented in their most common positions.
The classic Batman TV series Batcave was a riot of color, with a uniquely 1960’s atheistic. Each model contains more than 16 different LED lights, in a variety of hues, both fixed and animated. Also featuring a host of moving parts that bring the Batcave to life, this is the ultimate classic Batman fanatics’ dream collectible!
