Holy Toledo, Batman!

Kevin Silva was recently awarded the Guinness World Record for his Batman memorabilia collection. Silva converted his 1,200-sq ft basement into his very own ‘Batcave’ and has about 2,500 items worth over $100,000.

He became fascinated with Batman as a young boy watching Adam West and Burd Ward in the 1960s television show. His collection began when his parents gave him a Batman lunchbox.

‘It is one of my many personal favourite items from the entire collection.

‘I love to see the expression on people’s faces when they realize just how big my collection is.

‘My friends are always finding me things at garage sales and flea markets. I’m an easy person to buy a present for because if it’s Batman related, you can be sure I’m going to like it.

‘Growing up, I had lots of comics and toys that I managed to keep. I fell out of collecting a little after I was 12 or so and then got back in it deep after the release of the first Michael Keaton movie in 1989. I’ve been going strong ever since.’
