Fan Made: The Ultimate Batman-Related Man Cave

While tooling around online I came across a post over at Brobible on the 15 Best Man Caves on the Internet. A Man Cave, for those who do not know, is usually an area somewhere in the house (normally the garage or a spare room) designated for the guys to hang out in and do "guy things" like watch tons of sports or, in the case of one Australian homeowner, tons of The Dark Knight. I'm not exactly sure how much this cost, though Gizmag tells us the screening room won the highly commended prize in the 'above $100,000' category at CEDIA Asia Pacific annual awards, so more than likely this sucker cost a pretty penny to produce.
The room took about 20 days to piece together, while the installation of equipment and acoustic took another 8 days. Apart from very cool-looking and comfortable seats, as well as a big screen, the room also features a full wet bar and a bathroom that can be accessed via a remote-controlled sliding door.
From Gizmag: "Entry to the 'secret location' is via a remote-controlled pneumatic sliding door (unfortunately, not bat poles). A touch of the panel outside and the door opens, the lights turn on to a predetermined level, the projector and scaler come to life, and the processor goes into action. So, by the time you've chosen your movie and had your first mouthful of popcorn, everything is humming along, just like a well-oiled Batmobile."
Check out some images below and more stats on the equipment over at Gizmag. If you had the dough, would you put something like this in your home?

Very cool. But that's an awful lot of money to make your room look like a cave. Personally, I'd rather have more to show for my money.

Typical high end stuff for the processing, amplification, and PJ...but TWO JL Audio Fathom f113's!? Balls. In a room that size, you could probably bounce people from seat to seat.

pneumatic sliding walls activated by touch panel? Yes, please. The cave is a bit much though. Personally, I would have gone more in a 00-agent rec room direction.
