The Batcave is a monument… to his pain. The cave is more than his war room. He might think of it that way, all the tools and resources he’s assembled for his work. But that’s not it at all. The Batcave is a monument to his pain. And this morning, the way he’s hurting, it was the last place he would come. Chris Dee
About This Quote

The Batcave is a monument to his pain. The cave is more than his war room. He might think of it that way, all the tools and resources he’s assembled for his work. But that’s not it at all.

The Batcave is a monument to his pain. And this morning, the way he’s hurting, it was the last place he would come. Batman’s cave, or as Alfred puts it, “Batman’s war room,” is more than a place where Bruce Wayne can fight crime and prepare for battles ahead.

It is a place where Wayne can face down his pain and continue with his mission to protect Gotham City from evil forces. Batman’s cave is a metaphor for Wayne’s inner world, a place where he can have access to all of his resources without being able to let himself go and show how vulnerable he really is.
