Wayne Manor
From Free net encyclopedia
In DC Comics, Wayne Manor is the personal residence of Bruce Wayne, who is also Batman.
The residence is typically depicted as a huge stately mansion on grounds outside Gotham City that the one servant, Alfred Pennyworth, somehow manages to keep in good condition. In Batman Forever, Webb Institute was used for the exterior shots of Wayne Manor. Whereas, in the more recent Batman Begins, the former Rothschild estate, Mentmore Towers in Buckinghamshire, was used to portray Wayne Manor's exterior and interior.
The Manor grounds include an extensive subterranean cave system that Bruce Wayne discovered as a boy and later used it as his base of operations, the Batcave. The method used to access it has varied across the different storylines in the comics, movies, and shows. In the comic books, it is typically accessible from a hidden door in Wayne Manor's den — behind a non-functioning grandfather clock — which opens to a stairway below when the hands on said clock are turned to 10:47 pm, the time Thomas and Martha Wayne were killed.
In the 1960s live action series, the primary passage was located in Bruce Wayne's study that was disguised as a bookshelf that slide away when a switch hidden in a bust of William Shakespeare was activated, revealing two labeled firepoles that lead to the Batcave. In the 1992 movie, it is uncovered by turning on the lights of an ornament in a nearby aquarium. In the 2005 movie, the secret passage is an elevator shaft originally built as part of the Underground Railroad, accessed by playing three notes on a nearby piano.
The grounds also includes a large hill that was partially hollowed out for Batman's aerial vehicles and there is also an underground river system that is large enough to accommodate docking space for the Batboat and has a large opening for the boat.
While these grounds are the regular home of Bruce Wayne, he temporarily vacated it in the stories from the late 1960s to the early 1980s, preferring to live in a penthouse apartment on top of the Wayne Foundation building in the city, which also included a secret sub-basement acting as a Batcave.
In the 1980's a professional wrestling personality billed himself as Stately Wayne Manor, in reference to the estate.
