dc - How Was the Batcave Built in Secret?


The batcave, in any version of Batman, is large. Plus there's the batmobile, which required special construction, plus the batcomputer and numerous other batwidgets.


How did a good sized batcave get built without the land above it being torn up and without requiring a huge construction crew?


And, after the cave was built, how was the batmobile built in secret, without someone involved in it being able to make the connection between the car they built and the one that shows up in the news when Batman is first seen? (While he's in Gotham, a masked vigilante is news that would end up nation wide.) There would also be the need for secrecy so vilains can't find out how it is built and what the specs are.


And then there's the continual supply of batwidgets. Just as with the batmobile, there's the need for these items and how they work to be kept secret.


It'd take several factories to produce all that Batman uses and major construction for any batcave I've seen (which is in movies and on TV).


How is all this done in secret? (Or is there a trail of bodies?)




Answer



Building the Batcave (or refitting natural one extensively) in secret is no big deal - it's not like it's advertised that it will be the Batcave, AND almost nobody knows about batcave's existence afterwards.


As for Batmobile, depends on which reboot. As Oghma said in a comment, in the latest movies reboot (Nolan's), the Batmobile is an already-developed but never sold (due to cost) advanced prototype developed by Wayne Industries.


In the early versions, I believe the implication is that batmobile is modified by Batman himself, probably with Alfred's help - remember that in those earlier times, men were men and could rebuild a car engine or add extra features to the car (moreover, the very first Batman's car was a stock convertible with no extra features).


The rest of BatGadgets are also either:




  • Developed by Wayne Enterprises





  • Designed by Lucius Fox (CEO of Wayne E.), or in other reboots, Alfred.




Most of batgadgets aren't really fully identifyable as batgadgets until they are styled, so they can be produced by any contractor - just as workers at FoxConn have no idea that components X Y and Z they are making are actually designed for the new iPhone. Again, Nolan reboot makes references to Wayne Enterprises making super-large buys of components to make some few batgadgets, for purposes of hiding in plain sight.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

Is there good canon evidence for the "Nightmare Matrix"?

On the Matrix wiki, there's an article about the Nightmare Matrix which says: The Nightmare Matrix was the second prototype Matrix, designed by The Architect after the massive failure of the Paradise Matrix in the hope that human minds would more readily accept an imperfect world with suffering. Unlike the first version, this Matrix instituted a basic cause-and-effect programming and forcibly made those connected to it accept the program. Vamp Prime, a possible remnant of the Nightmare Matrix. It also featured programs that resembled mythical evil creatures in various human mythologies such as vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens, etc. It also failed, but many of the programs who were designed for it survived deletion in exile. The Merovingian and his wife, Persephone may have had their roots in this version of the Matrix. Upon its failure, the Merovingian started a smuggling ring of programs and information to provide a haven for exiles that would last for 6 cycles in the final ...

story identification - Anime with a boy hiring a creature from a stone, meets a man named Dante and starts a journey to collect crystals

I am from India, this anime or animated series (I can't remember this was made by the Japan or other countries) was aired between 2009 and 2012 probably in Jetix/Disney XD (but I'm not sure). This anime starts with a boy (the main character, I forgot his name) who find a stone (or crystal like thing) in his dad's property, his dad was missing that time. Some day he accidentally hire a creature/monster from that stone. Other day some creature attack him and he was saved by his creature and the story begins. In his journey to solve the mystery he meets a middle aged man 'Dante' (probably that was the name; this is the only character name I can remember). He had also some stone. After that they meet with one girl and a women (one of the girls is same age with the main boy character and probably will become his partner as the story goes on). Another women probably Dante's partner. Four of them started their journey to collect all the stone/crystal. They are collecti...
