Three trophies often seen in the background during Batcave scenes are a defunct mechanical tyrannosaurus and an equally giant penny and Joker playing card. The origins of many of these trophies are explained in Batman #256: the T-Rex comes from an adventure on "Dinosaur Island;" the penny is a trophy from Batman's encounter with a penny-obsessed villain named The Penny Plunderer (in World's Finest Comics #30, 1947).

When he lived in the penthouse of the Wayne Foundation building, Batman had a secret basement there equipped as a Batcave as well. In addition, the "No Man's Land" storyline established that Batman has numerous emergency Batcaves throughout Gotham City in the event that he needs a place to hide and/or resupply.
