Behind the scenesEdit

Background Information and NotesEdit

For the exterior shots of the mansion in Batman (1989), Knebworth House, a Gothic Tudor mansion 28 miles north of London, was used. The interior shots, however, were shot in Hatfield House, Hertfordshire; the gaming room from the movie used the mansion's long gallery, and the marble hall was used for Wayne's 'arsenal' with the two-way mirror.

In Batman Returns (1992), a scale model was used for the exteriors of Wayne Manor.
In response to the noted iron maiden entrance to the Batcave, Tim Burton remarks, "The iron maiden is a torture device, so you know, him being a tortured individual, you could see him connecting to that on some level emotionally and I thought it would be a good image."

In Schumacher' films, Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997), Webb Institute in Glen Cove, New York was used for the exterior shots of Wayne Manor.

LegacyEdit

The notion of opening a secret door to their hideout using a submerged model building in a fish tank reappers in Red Robin #25, where Timothy Drake uses the ploy to access his new headquarters in Gotham.

TriviaEdit

• A majority of the manor's rooms have large mirrors which hide survailence cameras for Bruce to keep an eye on key guests during galas and balls.
