Get to tour the new Batcave with Google Street View

The new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice might not be a hit with the critics but if you’re just a fan of Batman and all the cool gear he has, Google’s addition into the promotion bandwagon for the film might excite you. You can take a tour inside Bruce Wayne’s mansion and Batman’s lair through Google Street View. Google Maps even shows the real-world location of the lake house, which is in Orion Charter Township, Michigan. Some of the things you can see as you look around include his super-computer command station, the armored Batsuit, and different weapons as well as the defaced Robin suit on display.
