Chris Weir built a stunning home theater with a fully committed Batcave design, and it's a wonder to behold. Scott Wilkinson featured it on AVS Forum 10 years ago, but it's still a marvelous example of what a man with twin passions for Batman and home theater can do. Zap! Pow!

Andy Z is building a home theater in his basement with a JMGO N1 Ultra projector mounted on the ceiling.

How to solve this dilemma? Scott Wilkinson offers some advice.
