Quoted from Nemesis:BDK is a badass pin and deserves to have its own Members thread like the T2 one! Where are all the mods and custom LED pics and videos. Lets go Gotham, we gotta get our shit together!
P.S. I am finally in the club. Already in the hole $400 for a shaker and led's. Gonna need a few plastics and decals too, if anyone has a half set or loose set of plastics please hit me up. I'll post pics later on.
BDK is one game that really benefits from Led's tastefully done.
Congrats
I finally got around to taking a good look at why I was having a hard time hitting the scoop shot. The ball would clank off the lower ball guide more times than not. (game is level and pitch is at 6.8) So after I removed the ramp, plastics, and other stuff I was able to bend the lower guide a good 1/8" down to the black line. The results are way better now as a fast shot that hugs the rail will go in. 
Worth taking a look if your having the same problem as I'm sure my game is not the only one to have the guide mounted up too high from Stern. My guide was up in the hole area.

Quoted from Eskaybee:glad you got it worked out! add the drop dead ball foam at the entrance and you'll have 0 bounce outs.
Ya, I need to order some more drop dead foam... I'm out.
Thanks for the tip.
Quoted from Monarca1091:Does anybody have a clue how to get Bruce Wayne finished ? I've tried everything and I can't get the Bruce Wayne done .....

Quoted from Pinballgeek:whats your grand champion score, i just pulled a whopping 508 mil
288 mil.... You need lightning flippers and open up those outlanes.
Quoted from waspinat0r:This game is so much better than it gets credit for.
Yes! It's still one of my favorites
Quoted from cyberkryten:Doesn't seem to be anything in there to stop it bouncing. The area is very hard to get to, tough to get this photo, let alone get in there to do anything! I can't get a good video of the reject due to the angles, so it is hard to say why but shots do seem to enter it, just bounce back out without settling.
Just not sure where I'd add something to avoid it but not cause it to fail to enter on other shots.

I put a piece of drop dead foam? Or something like that in the back of the scoop and on the crane scoop and it helps a lot.
Quoted from cyberkryten:Ah, thanks that makes sense.
How did you get it in there and secure it? I don't really want to disassemble that whole section of the playfield as it looks like there's a lot to remove, but it looks like rather than stuck on you've fitted it above the scoop and underneath the plastic above to keep it held in place?
Gently grab the drop dead foam with a needle nose pliers than use the back side of a screwdriver to secure it.
Quoted from pinmister:Looks like the plastic that goes just above the top right pop bumper.
