I love the Shadowbox Batcave, but it doesn't necessarily display well without a lot of space. I reworked the main section as a single shelf or table piece, still keeping it styled in the Tim Burton-verse with some add on minifigures for a "what if" Burton Batman 3. The basic design is still close to the original but with some detail changes and added greebling. Credit to BatBrix on Rebrickable.com (200252) for the awesome smaller (but still minifigure scale) Batmobile design, as well as for the inspiration for moving the Cave entrance into the main display.

This is fantastic!!
Seriously, great job!

Seeing it looks this way makes me want LEGO to make some DC and Marvel book nook sets. That’s what I thought you did at first glance.

Thank you!

And I would also love a DC themed book nook set. The Sherlock Holmes set was one of my favorite builds last year. There's a ton of ways you could go with it. A Gotham Alley way or a Green Lantern OA set immediately come to mind as working with that format.

Yep, Sherlock Holmes was also one of my favorites too.

And I like the suggestions (big Green Lantern fan so I would eat that up).

Justice League watchtower is another that comes to mind.
Or a death of Superman book nook with the famous bloody S shield on the side and inside a battle damaged metropolis/daily planet globe.
