Am I out of touch thinking a $250,000 Batcave home theatre is really excessive? I guess it is whatever pulls your chain. Cheap if you are Bill Gates.

Some people have just insane amounts of dough. That is certainly nothing I'd consider... but if I were to make $10m a year... maybe.
$130,000 in audio/video equipment. Dude's not just throwing in some Sony's...
I'd balk at $13,000 in audio/video equipment let alone $130,000.

what does he do for a living, make gravity or sunshine?

That is a really, really cool room! :applaud:

two-hundred-fifty grand is NOT that much. Thirteen grand is nothin. Think if you made a million dollars a year. If you saved for four years, you could ever so easily afford half a million. Or, could easily pay it off in that time. And that's if you had a bunch of other ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

Thinking if you did it isn't the trick, actually doing it is.
Thats why its a lot of money.

You're missing the scaling concept, here. Besides, there are censored by saint. Please don't make me have to hunt for this stuff of people who make over a million dollars a year. I don't subscribe to the concept of work, so that element of it is irrelevant.

I thought you spanked fat chicks for a living.

There's no bat pole.
If I loved Batman enough to build a $250,000 Batcave, I'd have a bat pole in a closet somewhere above the theater room. At the least I'd have a rubber Batman suit on display.

Yeah, I have to agree, it's a cave home theater, but hardly a "BatCave"
Where's the Control Panel? the vine covered entryway? The metal catwalks?
Wait, Dark Knight or (60's) Batman? ;)

It is impressive when a lowly weekend warrior like us does something like this. It is yawn material IMO when some rich ---meecrob--- gets a whim, waves his magic wallet, and has whatever he thought of.
-
Not that impressed..I figured for a quarter of a Million dollars there would be more visual eye candy..bat computer, vault door, etc.
Looks like a pre-fab pool grotto that has been converted to show movies. :dunno

They actually hand crafted the foam. I know the homeowner threw money at it, but someone had to build it. That's what impresses me.

Have you seen foam being hand-crafted? It's not exactly rocket science...
-
Well, I'll tell you what, I bet just like many, many of the projects on this site, about 10% get it right. I would imagine the same would apply to the foam cutters. I'm giving credit where credit is due. Also, I'm also really impressed that unlike me, they got P A I D! :cheers:

$250k does seem like a lot, and $130k in equipment is a hefty tag, but the projector and scaler alone in that setup weighs in at nearly $20k. I'm guessing that the screen is close to $10k as well. I find it very impressive that they were able to integrate the faux rock work with good acoustic design - not an easy project with smooth walls, let alone irregularly shaped faux foam rocks. I did think the speakers could have been better "intergrated" - ie invisible - rather than black grills on the stonework. Its also in australia, so $250k AUD = $15.73 USD? ;D
No pricetag listed, but here's a way over the top theme home theater...

The former of course.

But I get paid in blood, you know. Hahahahah, no seriously, that's just ---smurfing--- art, man. There is a technique to handling flesh, which corresponds to the object being struck and it's particular physical properties, as well as getting the proper timbre out of the report of the strike.
