The Batcave wasn't first established in the comic books for the character, but in the 1943 15-chapter serial film Batman, directed by Lambert Hillyer. Written by Victor McLeod, Leslie Swabacker, & Harry L. Fraser and starring Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft as Batman and Robin. It would take the comics to name the Batcave in 1944's Detective Comics #83, while the secret grandfather clock entrance only appeared in the comics in the fifties. Later, the comic books would also add the detail that it opens at 10.47 or 10.48, the time in the evening when Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne were murdered. Not the most unguessable of codes, but a reminder each time that he benters, what it all signifies. This is a DC Universe Batman, of course, and so hasn't been referenced in Absolute Batman, where he doesn't even have a Manor, let alone a grandfather clock, but it is something you will want to know when reading Absolute Batman #15…
