Could This Be Bruce Wayne’s Brand New Batcave?

These shots depict the already epic Turda Salt Mines, located in Transylvania, Romania. They could also be what Christopher Nolan chooses as the revamped Batcave in the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises. I can’t think of a better candidate.

First, I hate to say “take with a grain of salt” given the locale, but it ought to be said. The rumour mill is pumping hard for this one, even though a set for the Batcave has already been built at Warner Bros and Nolan and his team have made no confirmations as to whether or not this site will be used. However, fans say the mines could be used as a stand-in for the dedicated set. And why not? I could just see the Batwing flying down that long passage. Either way, this place looks awesome.

    That is the cleanest looking mine I have ever seen in my life. It is also the most insanely awesome mine I have ever seen.

    It’s a pipedream. The movie is filming in Pittsburgh and other US cities. They’re not going to move to goddamn Romania to film the Batcave, most of which has already in post-production.

    Sounds like some fan just saw the photos and thought “Batman!”, then spread the false rumour around the internet.

      Some of the filming was done in England, including the location shots for the rebuilt Wayne Manor.

      It’s not beyond possibility that they may do some work in Romania too.
