Collector's Call Web Extras: Holy basement Batcave, Batman!

"Pastor Batman" has his very own Gotham City!

Rodney Shiflett is the ultimate Batman fan, with a massive collection of more than 2,000 Dark Knight–related items, all proudly displayed in his basement "Batcave."

His collection includes everything from comic books to lithographs signed by the co-creator of Batman, Bob Kane. An ordained minister, Rodney's fascination with the Caped Crusader inspired him to create his own masked hero: Pastor Batman.

As Pastor Batman, Rodney speaks at youth camps, makes hospital visits, and engages in random acts of kindness.

We brought in toy expert Mark Huckabone to appraise Rodney's collection.

Batman is the only superhero that is presently plausible... His only superpower is that he's rich. 💵🦇 Good enough for me.
