How to Turn Your Man Cave into a Bat Cave

In every family’s home purchase, the man of the house seeks solace in just one area of the house so he doesn’t go nuts and create grief with the family.  You have some men so worn out by the daily home drama that they spend additional time at work just to get away.  It is extremely important that a man can isolate himself off to this one room where he can watch his sports, action flicks, or whatever else without concerns of little eyes talking about Disney & Nickolodeon shows or fighting over any other channels.  This room is the “man zone” where scratching and spitting is a prerequisite to entry.  There are no male chauvinist comments.  The air is permeated with musk of testosterone.  This man zone is also known as the “man cave” which is frequently the basement of a home, a spare bedroom, or attic in the house.  If your man-cave is the basement, why not make it as live as the bat cave in DC comics.  Here are a few steps to ensure that your man cave is as hooked up as the Bat cave.

1. You need to establish some sort of secrecy inside those four walls.  The Bat cave was hidden deep below Wayne Manor.  It is dark and mysterious.  It is big and spacious.   All valuable tools and information were hidden inside the Bat cave but it wasn’t easily identifiable.  If you have cash, valuables, or items for men’s eye only, then it should hidden somewhere in the room and not easily accessible.

2. It would be good to create restricted entry.  The Bat cave had a restricted entry.  You had to be a member of the Bat family or a close ally otherwise you were duped before entry.  Your man cave should not be an open invitation to anyone otherwise it’s not a man cave…it’s a public room.

3. You need to create information central with laptop, big chair, and big screen TV.  The dark knight has his computer and big chair observing and keeping tabs on Gotham city with information at his finger tips.  You need to have a big screen TV and a laptop to observe and keep tabs on valuable man-related issues (sports games, wrestling, action flicks, etc.) at your finger tips.

4. Surround yourself with accomplishments (include a picture of a fast sports car).  In the Bat cave, you would a giant sized version of the double sided, heads coin from a Two-Face caper, an acidic squirt gun from the Joker, an umbrella from the Penguin, etc.  These were all spoils of victory (accomplishments) for BatmanTM  in his encounters with his nemesis.  You should do the same with awards and trophies.  If nothing else, get pictures of things that you want to have.  For example, it is good to have a picture of a beautiful sports car that you would like to have.

5. The man cave must have workout equipment (at least a pair of dumbbells).  BatmanTM is in peak physical condition and you know that he works out to stay in shape.  You can at least fake it with a pair of dumbbells and a Muscle magazine.  Tell the family that you’re working out for about an hour.  Lift whenever you feel like it.

Tips and Warnings:

 Set passwords on electronic devices and use combination locks with safes to protect against threats.

 Be careful of a loud sound system.  It can make you vulnerable to the elements surrounding you.  Remember you want peace, privacy, and freedom.

If your wife must have access to the man-cave on some periodic basis, then assimilate the Bat cave complete with the fireman’s pole and persuade your wife to…well, you know there has to be an entertainment section of the room.
