Will This Be the Batcave in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’?

Share:

Of all of the rumors currently swirling around the production of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, this one really caught our eye: it seems that the abandoned Salina Turda Salt Mine in Transylvania — which has been around since the Middle Ages and is currently open to the public as a tourist attraction — is said to be one of the locations in the running for the Batcave. In fact, Nolan himself reportedly visited the site back in January and met with Bucharest officials about the possibility of filming there. From what we’ve seen, the space looks absolutely ideal. Not only is it massive enough to hold all of Batman’s toys, but it has also got the slightly dark and futuristic aesthetic that the iconic hideout requires. Click through to get a better look at the interiors, and let us know in the comments if you think it would make a good Batcave.
