In the first half of the twenty-first century, time machine repairman Spider Webb meets a
ready-to-blow time machine with a dead body inside, so naturally he isolates it in the Bat
Cave—i.e., a little walled-off universe where nothing can affect the real universe. I
wonder how that worked out.
That’s why we need the Bat Cave. We put the unit in there, and we stand outside,
teleporting various tools, and if the thing does explode, nobody gets hurt.
