from BBC online news:
=====================================
The Tudor-style mansion used in the 1960s TV series Batman has been
gutted by fire in the US.
US TV footage showed flames leaping into the sky at the Pasadena
mansion with up to 70 firefighters working to keep it under control.
The mansion, made famous as Batman alter-ego Bruce Wayne's home, was
being renovated by its owners when fire broke out, the Pasadena Fire
Department said.
The 16,000 sq ft home is reportedly set in five acres of land.
As well as being home to Bruce Wayne, the mansion has been used in a
number of other TV shows and films including 1991's Dead Again,
starring Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson and Derek Jacobi.
The Caped Crusader's screen debut came in a 1943 film serial - four
years after the character first appeared in comic-book form.
He returned to the silver screen in 1966 in a spin-off from the
popular TV series, starring Adam West and Burt Ward, which featured
the Pasadena mansion.
