BATTY ABOUT BATMAN - MAN SPENDS £65K ON COLLECTION
Kevin Silva, 52 from Indiana in the USA, has spent an estimated £65K ($100K) on Batman trinkets over the years, and even keeps his 2,500-item haul in his very own basement 'Bat Cave'. Along with a Gotham City phonebook - reported to be a prop from the original Batman TV series - Kevin also has a red Batphone, which sits under glass, just like the one used by Commissioner Gordon on the 1960s show.
