The Sanctum

In the film the sanctum is probably my favorite set. No, it is not like the sanctum described by Gibson (far from it) but it does work as an addition to the radio version of our hero. I would love to see the sanctum as a room with no light but the blue illumination from a single desk lamp or overhead bulb would satisfy me from the purist standpoint. However, it would not be very exciting from a visual pov on the silver screen. Which is why I have no problem with the way in which it was portrayed in the Mulcahy film. In fact it was quite well done. The great items found inside its walls really made you feel that you were in the era. The Batcave before there was a Batcave.
