Batman, Alfred and a Robot Dinosaur
BATMAN CHRONICLES #8 does their own take on the robot T-Rex in the Batcave, with this short story about Batman fighting robot dinosaurs and robot cavemen for sentimental reasons.

Isn't there a Dinosaur Island in the DCU with actual dinosaurs on an actual island? Or is that lost in the mists of Pre-Crisis Time?

Well, it's a little less morbid than a "memorial case." At least things like a robot T-Rex and a Giant Penny show "Here's what criminals used to try to kill me, and I'm still here."

	Oh, for a minute there I was confused, and thought you were talking about Batman Confidential. Which was like "Wait, didn't Confidential kinda whomp at the beginning? Did it get better faster than I thought, or . . ." But now. Batman Chronicles was pretty much always awesome. (Reply to this)

	"Isn't there a Dinosaur Island in the DCU with actual dinosaurs on an actual island?" As far as I remember, it's out near Hawaii somewhere. Superboy spent some time there years ago. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I believe it's somewhere off the coast of China, actually - at least, if it's the one that Enemy Ace visited. Maybe there's two. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	So how many different versions of "How Bruce got the giant T-Rex" are there? It should just be a running gag among everyone who's been in the Batcave by now, to try and come up with the craziest story about it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

So I wonder if 'Thaddeus Middleton' has bought all the items in the Batcave - at least, those that are too big for Bats to quietly spirit them away. It would make sense - I've always wondered just how the hell they managed to sneak those trophies away. I mean, unless the Batmobile has a second form as a moving van, it'd be pretty damn difficult to unobtrusively remove a robot dinosaur from the scene of the crime.
