Have you all seen this? Saw this yesterday and I just had to share.
Holy Bat Pool! Apparently there is a ‘real’ Wayne Manor in Illinois. From above, it looks like a real swanky estate that Wayne family could live in. According to this article, the Hinsdalle, Ill anonymous homeowners painted the 30-foot-wide Batman emblem at the bottom of the swimming pool 20 years ago for their son who’s a huge fan of the DC comic character.
I bet some diehard fans of the caped crusaders have actually charted a chopper just to get a look of this ‘Bat signal.’ Perhaps there is a real Dark Knight living amongst us near Chicago a.k.a Gotham? 😉

Google Maps rock! That is class. Wish I had a Bat pool. Or a cave. All I have is a garage that smells like a cave and an average size bath. No Bats.
Yeah, if I were so filthy rich I might do the same, but maybe have the Superman insignia instead 🙂
Nice capture by google.. I think Batman already dive on that pool..lol!
@ TragLee, Richard… perhaps The Joker, Bruce, Gordon, etc. all have a pool party here 😉
Very cool, Ruth. I’m wondering if The Joker lives next door. 😉
Can anyone say “trademark infringement?” Wonder if they’re paying royalties :-D. I think I’ve been working around lawyers too long 😉
He..he.. yeah you’re working in the legal industry too long Becky! I’d think the creator would be flattered by this.
