Now my question is how did he transport the Penny to the bat cave without no one seeing him..
Tied it to the Bat plane?
Many Facts Bat-science?
Ridwan Mustafa Harir Even more powerfull then super ventriouquism!? Surely you'r kidding!
Can someone make an info graphic on what the most powerful things are in comics? I think a roll of pennies needs to be on that list.
Well this is Superhero comics. It is fiction, not real world. Why we need some "Realism and Logical Grounded" explaination in Superhero comics. Many non logical things happens happens in Superhero comics for example Jason Todd is revive back due to Superboy prime punch the reality, Peter Parker makes deal with the devil, We thought Bruce Wayne is dead in Final Crisis but he actually send back to the past. If we need some "logics" why Nobita (do you guys remember Doraemon cartoon) is not grow old and wear the same t-shirt all the time. We already live in real world, so why must we do "real world" in fiction fantasy superhero comics
Wait are you telling me, that Batman & Robin are so rich, that when they get in contact with pennies they faints?
godsonnr2 yes
godsonnr2 haha u deserve more likes
Your onto something
Guys.
It's a Dinosaur.
And a Cent.
Dinosaur Cent.
DC.
OMG
What have you done?
Holy fuck
+shadow105720 YOU WIN!
Gentlemen, looks like we will have a new Batman movie soon
superman has his kryptonite, batman has his pennies. just don't tell joker.
is this why in dreamwork's megamind metroman's weakness was copper?
batmanwhoisthedarkknightJUSTICE I will say yes because I want it to be true. Haha
you should get an interview!
Someday...
someday
Betrayed by pennies..... BEST VILLAIN DEFEAT EVER!
See! Alfred has his uses! Ha? Ha?
If I can a trophy room, it'd be an underground nerd museum filled with toys, replica, posters, photos etc.
Batman riding the T-Rex. What the heck needs a Bat-mobile?
Cause İt's cool
Time to Play the Game T-Rex beats Bat-mobile
it is normal.just a freaking t-rex vs a ultro mechanich cool car.But if you asking for a race batmobile would win
Time to Play the Game.....IF it reaches the finish-line, before being crushed by a T-Rex. XD
Tushant Mirchandani exactly. Also T-Rex is way cooler than just a Bat-mobile
Here's a story. Batman needs to move the giant penny to the secret waterfall entrance to the Batcave without anyone noticing. Me, I'd call Superman. "Clark…" - "yes, Bruce" - I have a small job for you. I need you to move a giant penny to the waterfall at super-speed…"
"Sorry, Bruce, I'm saving a solar system elsewhere in the galaxy and if my math is correct that solar system contains a sun that will upgrade my powers temporarily and dude, I have got to check that shite out…" - "Clark…" - "yes. Bruce?" "I've done the math. Total bullshit, Clark, that sun's not as yellow as you think…" - "do all the research you want, Bruce, Brucify the numbers till your fingers turn blue. I've been to that solar system, which by the way the residents have renamed it Kal-elapalooza in my honor, dude, I've been to that sun and it's like heroin to a junkie. There, Mr. Wayne, is the truth. Besides the sun really is going nova if I don't technobabble some friggin thing with the giant whosis. You know." "I hear you, bro, do your thing. I'll find a way to get that penny home." - "You always do, Bruce, you always find a way. Rent a warehouse near the penny, stash the penny in the warehouse and transfer your little trophy at like, 3 in the morning and report a theft. You'll have a better plan than that." - "much love, Kent" - "Backat ya, Bats." and on…the story writes itself! Corny, I know. I love me my heroes.
Ikr Superman and Batman being bro’s is one of the best things in DC
*Why is There a T-Rex and Giant Penny in the Batcave?*
The Batcave is the iconic base of operations for the world's greatest detective. It houses some of Batman's trophies from past victories, including an animatronic dinosaur and an oversized penny. But what are the origins of these decorations? Let's learn about them and a little history of the Batcave itself in this week's #ComicMisconceptions !

Great Video! You are getting so smooth with flow of your episodes and anything about Batman has to be good, right?
"Washed the justice off," Scott...you are a funny one!
Thanks, Lyle! Glad you liked it!
I knew about the penny plunderer before, but I thought he was just plain old retconned. Great episode as always!
VGphilosophers Thanks!
You know they out out a trade recently with most of the issues you mentioned (they cut out the newer versions if the trophies) its called secrets of the batcave. I got it a while back and it really awesome and has batman kinda being the cause of 2 deaths in the cave at separate times. I wonder how he explains the fact that a guy suffocated in a sarcophagus in his base.
Okay, so in the animated series "they let him keep it", sure. But in the updated comic? I can't imagine them just letting Batman have the giant penny in that situation. Did he just steal it?
***** ...that's like stealing every tree in Gotham in case they fall over on someone. It's not malicious. It's just a big metal circle.
***** He probably does, but it seems a bit weird to just take it. The museum probably still wanted it.
YossarianVanDriver NO! Who would want a bloody assassin metal circle of EVIL?
Obed Torruco ...I would.
YossarianVanDriver Yes, but the musseum don't.
So Batman foiled the penny robbery just so he could steal it for himself.
+Arrownoir Nothing keeps the worlds greatest detective off the cent.
+Arrownoir He probably just bought it.
that doesn't make that much cents ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@jakebot9249 Cents when did you have an opinion in the matter! ;P
i disagree with him about who batman's greatest villain is. we all know its really calender man
rowan markovich He's counting down the days until he takes down the Bat!
I say it's the crazy quilt
Ten Eyed Man!
Scarecrow
rowan markovich The Eraser!
I'll squeal like a pig if the batcave has a T rex and giant penny in BvS
+thepunkster90x I know right?
NOPE
+thepunkster90x
So... did you squeal like a pig?
What a disappointing movie in general.
Schwarzer Ritter yes.
Host: On this episode of hoarders.
Batman: Huh! Who are you?
How did you get in here?
Why do you have a camera?
Alfred, Dick...
I uhm mean Robin, and special crime fighting equipment cleaner, aid person!?
What's going on here?
Who are these people?
My favorite version of the Batcave is the new-52's. It pays homage to the ones before it and gives it a hell of a technological and tactical upgrade. The battle between batman and the Court of owls is a great example.
Love that battle! Good pick!
I'm more interested in how he got a GIANT COIN back to the BatCave without anyone seeing it. It must weigh three tons.
+pollytheparrot46 IKR was wonderin that myself
humm...maybe he could use a Wayne enterprises heavy duty transport vehicle to at least get it back to his estate and stash in an out building until he can sneak down to the batcave. ???? I don't know just a thought, though...
Collection Obsession even with that, people know that Bruce Wayne is the one who took the penny and they could use it to piece together batman's identity.
with the power of MONNNEEEEEYYYY. If that doesn't work, then with the POWER OF COMMMMIIIICCCCCSSSSSSS
He bought the giant penny
My secret underground lair would be filled with old arcade cabinets on free play.
... also, it wouldn't be a secret.
Cootersneeze Vids I want to visit regularly! Especially if you have pinball. I loves the pinball.
Hells yeah, I'd have some pinball! You got a favorite machine? :3
Cootersneeze Vids Don't know what it's called exactly, but it's a gold rush themed pinball machine that I used to play for hours at my friend's house when I was a kid. It was so much fun!
flyers.arcade-museum.com/flyers_pinball/williams/35001401.jpg
This thing? c:
Haha, no, but on that same track. It's a little bit more modern. Had lights and stuff. Maybe not gold rush, but definitely western themed. Wish I knew the name.
If I had a super secret underground layer, I would have a giant penny. Even if I had to make it myself, I would have it.
Batman needs to reappear in a fourth Nolan film to take on the Penny Plunderer!
4:00 is when the rambling stops and the origins of the objects begin, the first 4 minutes is the origin of the batcave.
Thank you
right when I saw this comment it was already that time
thanks a lot i was getting annoyed
Mystical Wolf exactly for me too
Ivan Bond technically its 3:57
I saw an episode of the animated series where two face put batman on giant penny and flipped him to either break all his bones or squash him flat. That's why I thought the penny was there
The Drew Crew Yeah, I mention that in the video.
I like the two-face version of the giant penny. it fits a lot better.. though probably should have been a quarter or something. either way, best version imo
ok the animated penny story is way better..... they also referenced the giant penny in zero year, i thoiught that was cool
Skip to 4:00 to find out why there is a penny and a trex in the batcave..
thanks
+KellysHeroes99 thanks bro
Thanks
Great video, Scott! About the giant penny, in the Justice League animated series (more precisely in the three-part episode "Starcrossed") it was used by the Flash to defeat Thanagarian soldiers. In that very same episode, he was also fascinated with the giant dinosaur, leading to this hilarious conversation:
Flash: Hey, that's a giant dinosaur!
Alfred: And I thought Batman was the detective.
Holding on to a roll of pennies while punching does make you pack more of a punch so it was completely realistic.
the Oddest thing in the Batcave has to be when Batman has statues of his central rogues in there... Why would he need them, is he likely to forget who Catwoman or Two-Face are?
also can you do a video about Superman's Alien Zoo in the Fortress
My favorite Batcave is the one you show at the very beginning of this video. Penciled by David Finch and inked by Richard Friend.
My second choice is the Greg Capullo version.
An island with dinosaurs and cavemen. Shouldn't it have been called Creationist Island?
I'm christian and laughed my ass off
+Stacey Means Ok
Dinosaurs and humans? Very comical!! :)
This show is my new obsession. Love it, good job
2:55 is when he actually explains the dino and penny.
Thank you for the video. I didn't even know there was a penny and dino in the cave :)
Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger introduced an underground hangar (where the Batmobile and Batplane were kept) in BATMAN 12 some months before the serial came out. Finger said he got the idea from an article about underground hangars in an article he read in Popular Mechanics. He attached the article to his script and gave it to Kane who copied the design. BUT, it wasn't called "The Batcave", The Movie serial scripters came up with The Bat's Cave as you said. When Kane and Finger started the newspaper strip, Kane re-worked his original design to reflect the changes that were introduced in the serial. A minor quibble but I'm like that!
If I had a secret superhero lair, I would have a stairway...to heaven.
nobody is going to point out that robin made a funny when the penny guy died
ok
I love how in the Night of the Owls the T- Rex takes care of business on Bruce's command
Gotham is 7 years old! Wow time flies.
The most dangerous game combined with Jurassic park and robots
they should have made that a dlc in batman arkham knight
Hmmm...I prefer the Batman animated series origin for the giant penny as it fits Two-Face's MO perfectly.
darkservantofheaven Definitely!
Funny ... in that brief clip from Batman:The Animated Series the voice of Two-Face ( provided by Richard Mol, "Bull" from "Night Court" ) sounds like the Bat-growl that Christain Bale used in the Nolan movies.
I will also go with the Batman animated series origin ...I was waiting for them to show it
that's just Big Penny's signature big penny that he drags around stage on a metal chain
What about the card? THE CARD! Come on, I´ve always seen it as the trio of trophies. The coin, the dinasaur and the card.
The Adam West batcave was the best.
Choco Mushtashe Everything was nice and well-lit and labeled for your convenience.
what if i told you there is a lego set of the 60s batcave
i seem to discover more and more that statements like "batman doesn't kill, batman doesn't use guns, superman never kill" have always been false, turns out people just seem to have selective amnesia. because they did, in comics and in past movies etc.
Dominic A Maybe there are just so many different types of classic heroes that people focus only on the version of the hero they most relate to/enjoy reading or watching. Like how I talked about the Golden Age Batman and Superman being much more violent. Batman used guns and snapped people's necks. Superman even shot a guy then caught the bullet before it reached him just to scare the guy.
But the reason there are so many types of Batmen and Supermen could be because the Golden Age was just trying to figure the characters out for the first time, the Silver Age had a lot of rules thanks to the CCA about violence and killing (among many other things), and the years after have been trying to compensate for the characters' campiness by returning them to being darker, but still trying to uphold the Sliver Age morals I guess.
But yeah, there are plenty cases where both Batman and Superman kill people.
Thanks, Professor :-)
Dominic A First time I've been called that. Haha. I like it!
Yeah, the superhero was a new genre, so early writers really had to explore the boundaries.
batman: "i dont kill...
with guns ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"
would've been cool to mention the zero year origins to the T-Rex and the penny. I personally really like those stories to it.
Side note. Wouldn't a huge mansion build on top of a giant hollow cave be incredibly dangerous? How has that thing not collapsed yet?
I rather the two face origin of the penny as it represents one of his greatest foes rather then a minor one.
TheCelticTiger32 But....but... the penny plunderer!!
Penny plunderer killed by a Huge Penny. That is just nasty.
my favourite quote about the giant penny is when The Thing of the Fantastic Four says to Batman something like "is that your idea of small change? Heh"
lol
I WAS LITERALLY JUST ASKING MYSELF THIS TODAY!!!
Just wanted to point out that the movie Starlord look is actually closer to the source material and that the "before" look you put for Starlord was while the movie was still in Production. Under the GotG best run under Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, Starlord was both older and sported a look that is ALOT like what the movie later imitated.
Also FYI: in the future you may want to clear up these kinds of misconception as the "before" image was used on the Bendis run, which is unpopular with long time Guardians of the Galaxy fans.
And before anyone corrects me, I'm aware that Starlord's team wasn't the original team. But at least get your facts straight.
Gotham the show had its ups and downs... I love that Alfred ha no moustache and had a belly. And I love how that included the riddler in it, telling him that they didn't want any riddles... Thought that was cool..people have been telling me that the person performing jokes for fish Mooney was the joker, if that's true that would let me down because he was a mafia... Gotham itself was pretty cool, and I loved that huge splatter of blood when that killed Bruce's parents, comic ESC
I also loved the penguins character ... He is by far my favorite
Penguin is my favorite too! As for the Joker, the people behind the show said many people will tease the Joker so the audience will never be sure who he really is. Which I think is a neat idea.
*****In the comics he is really awesome and in the movie... I thought that is in the show he looked very cool ,the nose and also I thought that when he beat the guy with a bat and laughed that it revealed a bit of his future self also when he attacked the people in the car when they called him a penguin
***** I think that in this show when Bruce finds the bat cave... Because in the dark night returns ( the comic) he says he finds it at age 6 I think ... And it would be nice to see... And sort of connect it wit batman v superman dawn of justice
Cesar Felix ***** I love Alfred in Gotham. As got the joker I personally hope that they don't put him in the show. While villans such as penguin and the riddled have thier own goal, the joker stands for one thing which is to cause anarchy to the batmans life. While no one really knows the jokers true origin, the most widely accepted origin is that it was directly batman who pseudo created him. Since the bat probably won't appear in Gotham they would probably have to change up his history which wouldn't do him justice.
"hey that's a giant dinosaur." "and I thought Batman was the detective"
I think if I had a secret underground lair it would be depressingly dull. It would probably have some chairs, storage, and so forth with maybe a few secret doors to spice things up. Figuring out how to get s secret lair underground in a house without a basement and no one noticing would probably chew up most of the secret lair budget.
Nice factoids - but yeesh, is the host standing on a bucking bronco or something? He's bobbing, weaving, ducking and jiving as if he's afraid a sniper is trying to draw a bead on him. Stand STILL, boyo - it's very distracting.
Slyrr7 I can't stand still when I'm talking about comics. I'm too excited!
***** Fair point, we all have our little quirks I guess. Just try to rope it in a little so I can focus on what's being said instead of playing visual whack-a-mole trying to keep the host in frame :)
Slyrr7 just a tip, factoid actually means something that looks like a fact, but isn't true.
chandlerj333 Dictionary.com's primary definition: "an insignificant or trivial fact." Secondary: something fictitious or unsubstantiated that is presented as fact, devised especially to gain publicity and accepted because of constant repetition.
So my use of 'factoid' was completely correct.
if I had a secret hq I would put a swirly slide
So funny, I've always liked the Arkam City Series Bat Cave. Amazing and entertaining as always. Your great Scott!
I love the Adam West bat cave the best it's always been my favorite design of the bat cave since I was 5 years old
Betrayed by pennies!!!
Too much? Sorry.
Sean Butcher wah!? i didn't delete your comment.
A lot of porn would be in my bat cave. Not going to lie.
I can't disagree with that.
likenem how bout a naked catwoman on a stripper pole...
Stuart Forbes
Catwoman wasn't too cool about me making a silicone version of her on a stripper pole. She freaked the fuck out.
Only men....
+Alphabet Girl Not really.
Best episode yet.
Just saying you should do more batman episodes.
One of my favorite giant penny stories in the comics is I'm the new 52 Batman comics. When a Talon is fighting Batman, I think Alfred pushed the penny down and it crushed the Talon, but he lived a little longer, but he died at one point. The story is amazing and you should check it out! Love your vids!
spookington the skeleton Court of Owls stuff is always good stuff!
Really nailing that neckboard look.
Berry Allen: why look a dinosaur
Alfred: and I thought Batman was the detective.
Batman the Murderer and Batman vs. Jurassic Park in one episode... AWESOME!
I aim to please! Haha
The Penny Plunderer got the Caesar treatment.
"Almost Got Him" was perhaps the best Animated Batman episode ever. That should be the cannon of the giant penny backstory...
"And today on the news with Vicki Vale, eccentric billionaire Bruce Wayne moves giant animatronic dinosaur into his mansion". Seems a little sus doesn't it?
I like that they have updated the stories behind these items.
There was a cool scene of the Batcave once where the artist had Hush running around past the Tumbler and the 66 and 89 Batmobiles, plus others probably.
I knew the original story but not the updated ones, great video guys!!
The Batman DCAU comic, came up with a simply magnificent idea as to the origin of the Hall of Trophies. We simply start with a scene from an early case, with a very young Dick Grayson as Robin standing on top of a downed robot T-Rex and begging "Can we keep him? Please? Huh? Huh?" to Batman. The idea being that the Trophies don't actually serve much of a function for Batman, but is more intended for Robin (As a sort of reward for having to forego his fondly remembered circus lifestyle, and constantly pretend to be not as bright, or fast, or strong, etc as he really is, in order to protect their identity). I just love that as a notion.
"Where he presumably had Alfred wash the... let's just call it, justice off of it"
Hey! Another "Batman and Iron Man are the same guy" tie-in! They both created their identities in a cave! Neat!
I had a sudden very strong urge to "know what the deal was with that dino and giant penny in the batcave" so I typed in "comic misconceptions batman" into youtube and it was the FIRST THING that popped up. Well played sir.
If I had a secret headquarters like the bat cave, it will have:
Souped up computers
Statues to remind myself in my honor
A secret wall filled with my weapons
I'll have my enemy's failed "toys" gallery
A section full of vehicles
Old satellites
Pictures of family
And a wall of.... LEGOS!!!!!!!!!
Scott, it was NICE to WANDER into your channel a while ago.
That meeting of villians where Killer Croc was asked how he put Batman away he replys "I threw a rock at him!" That was funny.
in Batman: The Brave and The Bold, there was an episode, I think it was when Owlman was in Batman's earth, Bats asked Joker for help and he brought him in to the cave. Joker got excited seeing all of Batman's knickknacks and had flashbacks for each of them, which showed that in that world, the robot T-rex and giant penny were parts of his schemes.
If I had a secret underground lair, it would multi-leveled to have to have a video game room, swimming pool, and a personal library.
I'm so glad I knew about the Penny but I never knew about the T-rex This Video Really Helped thanks.
Zen Razor Glad you found it helpful!
I always liked the Michael Keaton batman movie batcave. I like how the batmobile had a parking spot in that big pit like thing and all the water around it running down into the pit.
Definitely a cool design!
I would have a really comfortable massage chair with cup holders in my secret cave.
I have always wondered about the dinosaur and penny. Thank you!
jayblade2000 I'm very glad you found it helpful!
6:55 i heard alfred sold some justice-juice on the corner for a penny a cup ;))
That T-rex animatronic occasionally causes grief in the Batcave...although it was also unleashed on Hush too, which was cool.
I've spent 23 years of my life wondering what the fuck was that dinosaur doing at the Batcave each time I saw it. Now I can finally close this chapter of my life.
Wait, an animatronic dinosaur and a giant penny?! Where did they come from? Where did they go? Where did they come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
If I could have anything in a cave, I would have..... A BACON DISPENSER!!!!!
Funkymonkeybacon That's the only logical answer. haha
That's right,
Love this video! Interesting channel for sure. Subscribed!
The Penny Plunderer?? Somebody was on some pretty powerful shit when they came up with that crap.
Anybody that has played through and completed Batman Arkham City should notice that in the beginning of the Penguin mission in the museum, ass soon as u walk into the museum's entrance, there's a giant dinosaur in the main room that kinda jumps at u if u walk close to its head. I found this myself😎 can't believe I did
"Wash the justice off of it", nice. 😂
Just found your videos & love them... VERY interesting & detailed! ~ So, I figured you'd like to know of a blooper @ 5:05 when talking about the 2 versions of the Dinosaur Island story, you said: "I encourage you both to read them", assuming you only have 2 viewers?!? Lmao.
I like the Two Face explanation for the Penny.
"Alfred, I'm gonna need you to wash some justice off a penny I found."
Batman also has Mr. Freeze's freeze gun and the Ventriloquist's 'Scarface' dummy, as well as former bat-suits on display.
I like how random it is for him to own a Dino and a giant penny but great there's backstories!
The stories I’m familiar with for the giant penny are the animated series one with Two-Face’s “Almost Got ‘em” story, and then in The Batman (2004) when Batman defeated Ventriloquist and Scarface and got it that way
This young man is very intelligent and smart n quick minded. Result of not useing any drugs and constant learning. Equals this amazing mind
That scene in the comics that you showed, where Batman throws coins at the Penny Plunderer, reminds me of the movie Batman & Robin, where Batman throws coins up in the air, just when Two-Face threw his coin up in the air, to decide Batman's fate.
Two-Face in Batman & Robin?
In the new 52 the giant penny is at Wayne enterprises in the the beginings of Bruce as Batman. It was brought by his uncle Phillip Kane who's running Wayne enterprises, I can't remember why he had it there
Then the uncle is killed by the red hood gang leader (aka joker) and well... the rest is history
Damn, I didn't knew I was that nerd jaja
