When a long day of dispensing justice comes to an end, every hero likes to have a place to put up their feet and reflect on good deeds done, no matter if that place is as small as a bedroom in Aunt May’s humble home in Queens or as large as the whole planet of Oa in Space Sector 0000. So after sizing up 40 iconic villain hideouts, Movato Real Estate has turned an architectural eye toward the homes, headquarters, and hangouts of 35 illustrious heroes with another great infographic. It includes standard homes like the flat at 221B Baker St. and the Parr family’s modernist house in Metroville, sprawling estates like Avengers Mansion and the X-Mansion, mobile bases of operations like the Millennium Falcon and Space Ghost’s Phantom Cruiser, epic outposts like Cats Lair (home of the Thundercats) and the Justice League’s Watchtower, and even large and otherworldly strongholds like Superman’s Fortress of Solitude and the Hall of Asgard.
Head over to the Movato Blog to learn more details about each base — including how the size of each was determined — and how they stack up against other hero homes.
Something looks fishy with the scale here. Wayne mansion looks to be about 30 stories tall–above ground! And I won’t even mention the Tardis! 😉
It’s bigger on the inside, thus the scale. I think…
They do seem to get a lot of static for the Wayne Manor representation. They do explain why it’s the size that it is, but yes, the scale seems to be a little out of whack. Still, it’s all in fun.
As for the Tardis, it is indeed bigger on the inside. They based the sizing on the Tardis interior maps found on Tor.com: http://www.tor.com/blogs/2013/04/doctor-who-tardis-interior-map
Stark Tower: 93 story skyscraper. Team to build, estimating by way of traditional skyscrapers: ~2,000-4,000.
Cat’s Lair: slightly shorter, team to build 6 Cats with bare hands and only raw materials found on Thundera. Hrrrrmmmm…
The Enterprise is 500 yards wide??
LOL
