My personal favorite has to be the giant T-Rex but the giant penny and Joker card are up there. Reading through Knightfall there's alot of other stuff in there isn't there?
Why is the T-Rex there anyway? The coin and card sort of make sense, but a dinosaur?

Jason suit.
There was a recent story line giving details about the trophys, and I'm not one for details, or knowing the answer, but it hasn't stopped me before... the t-rex is a giant animatronic from before the days of CGI, there's a giant type writer which I think is from a ...
ahh I just googled the answers! here (http://www.captaincomics.us/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t2383.html)

I don't know if it's post-Crisis or Year One or what, but I've always had a fondness for the Batman suit Thomas Wayne wore to the Halloween party. It's seen in Archie Goodwin's last LODK story...

It was also seen in the Absolute Power storyline of Superman/Batman. He was WEARING it.

I'd say that my favorites are the penny, the Joker Card, and the T-Rex. But my second favorite would be all the stuff he's collected from the Rogues. All the weapons and things.

The Joker Card is my favorite, although if you think about it, it is kind of sick from Batman to keep it there.

How? I'd say my favourite is the novelty sized Joker playing card. Just cause when I think of the Batcave the first thing I see is that face staring at me. Yep, Batman's got quite a collection in there...
The Joker

That gigantic penny.

How?
Well, it is a giant grinning, constant reminder of his worst enemy, and the guy who killed one of Bruce's sidekicks, crippled another one of them, and killed his best friend's wife. Oh, it is a cool image for us readers, sure, but for Batman himself, I compare it to me having a giant poster of my son's killer in my room.

Definitely the Thomas Wayne bat costume.

The Dinosaur. C'mon who doesn't want a life size T-Rex statue in their house?

I'd settle for a couple of pterodactyls.
Oh god I hope I spelt that right...

My answer also.
The Giant Penny is fascinating, second, are, (as some have depicted) all the various Batmobiles.

Gotta go with the penny.
One of my favorite one-issue Batman stories in recent years involved Batman having a very slow night; no noticable crimes, no major cases and Oracle and Nightwing are too busy making out at the Clocktower to keep Bruce company(this was all pre-Devin Grayson, can you tell?). He finally contacts Aquaman, asking for his help to retrieve the giant penny from Gotham Harbor(where it landed after the earthquakes that nearly destroyed the Batcave and helped precipitate the whole No Man's Land storyarc). Aquaman helped him set up the penny, then said something like "Why don't you just invite me over for videos next time you're that bored?"

I've seen the cover to that issue. It's long-haired Aquaman sitting under the Harbor, in front of the penny on a rock, shrugging. I've always pondered long and hard about that cover. Thanks for clearing that up for me. :D

Gotham Knights #18. This was back in the day when Gotham Knights was actually a good book.

Maybe the penny, from when he used it again Gordon and the GCPD during their batcave raid in B:TAS.

The giant penny. And sometimes when the various versions of The Batmobile are shown, the 1950's version with the glass canopy and searchlight on top. Cool.

The T-Rex is/was a robot dinosaur from a 1950's Batman story where Batman and Robin go this island and discover all these dinosaurs. However, they turn out to be
robots for some reason that escapes me. So a robot dino makes a little more sense
than a stuffed real one.

The giant penny or Jason Todds Robin costume.
