We like to spend a lot of time finding and gathering pictures of amazing garage doors. Some amazing for their class or unique style, some for their clever use of windows, or boldly crass color choice, or classic fit with a home. Some we put up for their bold paint jobs, or cute decorations, or interesting choice of material.
However, no garage door style can hold a candle to this one.
Batman garage. It's classic, not trying too hard, like with a lot of other decoration or cutesy design attempts. It's simple, straightforward, and no-nonsense. BATMAN, it says, without the words. The garage door itself is a simple metal rollup, nothing fancy. But instead of breaking out the cash on something shmansy, this store-front owner decided to take a different route. This route requires a lot of guts, but can sometimes be pulled off. (Not recommended for homeowners!)
So what lies behind this door? Can it just be a regular store? Is it a cute, dorky comic book shop, or something completely unrelated? Is it a bat cave, full of instruments of crime fighting and tiny technological marvels? Is it a Marvel world filled with characters and heroes, villains and sidekicks, with revenge and lust and justice? If you open this door, what will you find?
Is this a call for help, a beacon out into the night, for someone to please come save us? Is this the Bat Signal? Or is it just a declaration? Batman here. Or: I like Batman. Or: I like bats. Or: come here, Batman. Let's tango. I'll fight you.
It is that sense of mystique and interest that really makes this door a success. A hello-kitty symbol just wouldn't do it. Even Superman doesn't have that low-down, angsty grit that Batman has, that inherent sense of mystery. We know how superman works. What we don't understand is the bat signal. That's what this is.
