batcave access[edit]

"In the 1989 movie, it is uncovered by turning on the lights of an ornament in a nearby aquarium."

Is this correct?

In the 1992 movie (Batman Returns), -one- of the access passages is uncovered by pressing up on the door threshold of an aquarium mock up of the mansion. The act turned on the lights in the aquarium and opened up the iron maiden for use as a chute down into the cave. Bruce asks Alfred if he's coming and Alfred states he'll take the stairs.

The Address[edit]

Wayne Manor has an actual address according (I think) to Death and the Maidens storyline. I'll look myself, but that continuity element should be in there along with the clock.

TV Series[edit]

Can anyone identify the building used as the exterior of Wayne Manor in the 1960's TV series? I believe it's on San Ramon Ave. in Pasadena, CA, and was once used as the annual "Pasadena Showcase House". I believe the same building's exterior was used in numerous other movies and TV shows.

Assumes intimate knowlege of the work[edit]

"The gaming room from the movie used the long gallery, and the marble hall was used for Wayne's 'arsenal' with the two-way mirror."

Passages such as the above, which discuss subjects not already introduced in the article should have additional explanation, so that someone unfamiliar with the numerous Batman works and variants would know what it refers to. For that matter, it assumes familiarity with the architecture of the location setting as well. User:Pedant 00:24, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:Mentmore towers from below.jpg[edit]

The image File:Mentmore towers from below.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Location of TV Exterior[edit]

The article says that the address of the house used on the TV series for exteriors of Wayne Manor is located at 380 N San Rafael Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105, USA; a cursory look on Google Maps in satellite view shows this to be a house in Spanish colonial style, unlike the mansion in question. However, there is a house at 380 S San Rafael Ave, Pasadena, which appears to be the Victorian building used. A further bit of reading suggests that there was also a virtually identical house by the same architect, which stood at 165 S San Rafael Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105, USA, but which has been destroyed by fire since the time of the TV series. Discounting the N San Rafael Ave address as unlikely, does anyone have evidence for the use of 380 or 165 S San Rafael Ave in the TV show(it being possible that both were used at one point or another, if they did indeed look similar)?

East Wing[edit]

I dimly recall one comic that stated the earthquake only obliterated the East wing of Wayne Manor. Just saying, if this is true, this should be noted. Lots42 (talk) 11:10, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The East Wing is an allusion to Hitchcock's Rebecca. --88.130.92.109 (talk) 22:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

14 miles to Gotham City[edit]

Is the distance of 14 miles to Gotham City canonical, or was it just created for the TV show? Thanks. knoodelhed (talk) 20:42, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Location of Wayne Manor[edit]

I noticed the impressive number of references noting the location of the estate being in New Jersey, but all of them are comic books. How about actual reliable references, since comic book information has a very un-encyclopedic tendency to retcon all previous information into invalidity? I will wait a week or two before scrubbing any mention of Wayne Manor being in NJ. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:12, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
