Batman: Secrets of the Batcave details Since there is currently very little information about this graphic novel on Amazon, and some of what they listed is incorrect, I copied the back cover and table of contents below.
BACK COVER:
A GIANT PENNY! A ROBOT DINOSAUR! A MUMMY CASE! WHERE DOES HE GET THOSE WONDERFUL TOYS?
LOCATED UNDER BRUCE WAYNE'S MANSION, THE BATCAVE HAS SERVED AS BATMAN'S BASE OF OPERATIONS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF HIS CAREER. Originally just a storage area, over the years the hidden cavern has evolved into a crime lab, armory, training grounds and museum. Very few know its location and even fewer are invited to enter. Now, some of the most significant stories to come out of the secret sanctuary, and the tales behind the Dark Knight's most prized trophies, are revealed in the collection of tales from the Golden Age to present.

The Editorial Review For This Is Wrong This is a BEST OF THE BATCAVE ISSUES collection.Not the book described above in the editorial review of this product.This book contains many BATMAN stories from the 1940's,'50's and onward. Includes diagrams of THE BATCAVE in each decade of BATMAN's existence.It's an enjoyable, nostalgic look back at BATMAN AND ROBIN and how the artifacts they have collected over the years in the BATCAVE got there.Have you ever wondered where that giant penny came from? How about the Tyrannosaurus? It's all within these pages. Not a bad price for so many stories, either.
