I've been looking for cool pictures of the Batcave, and I came across an image that a college buddy of mine used to have as a poster on his wall.
Here it is, but it's just a detail from the poster he had:
Can anyone tell me who drew this image? Or where I might have a look at it in full?
Does anyone know of any other cool images along this line? ie, Bruce in front of his bank of computers in the batcave being pensive?

I remember that being in the middle of a comic book a long time ago, but I couldn't tell you which one.
It is drawn and painted, however, by Mr. Norm Breyfogle. His 90's Retroactive Batman comic from last summer showed me that he definitely still has the chops to draw Batman on a monthly basis. I get the feeling that his gig at Archie Comics is more lucrative, though, seeing as they outsell DC books in the non-direct market.
Via Jeff's information I found the source listed here. It was Detective Comics #607.
The Batcomputer has been an integral part of the Bat-mythos since the 60s TV show with its punch-out cards. I always get a kick seeing 50s reprints with Batman searching through index card files, slide projections, audio tape and good old fashioned memory! When I was a kid, it was a natural process, now it's so time-consuming and dated! There's probably more data in our cellphones than in that first computer in the Cave!
Is there, like, a manhole cover right over the Batcave? Doesn't seem like a very secure "secret hideout" to me.

There is a small crack in the earth just above...but through the ingenious use of bat-mirrors, Bruce and Alfred have brought natural light into the cave to treat Batman's seasonal affective disorder.
The cave is entirely closed in; that just leads to a small alcove before reaching the roof. But Batman has trapped Lightray of the New Gods in a mason jar and poked holes in the lid.
