Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Batcave was a weekly club-night launched at 69 Dean Street in central London in 1982. It is considered to be the birthplace of the Southern English goth subculture as it had already been established in Northern England, in particular Le Phonographique in Leeds and Manchester, and in Belfast, though when the culture was being developed in the North it was commonly known as "alternative" before being given the goth moniker. As one of the most famous meeting points for early goths, it lent its name to the term Batcaver, used to describe fans of the original gothic rock music, who would adorn themselves in Batwing coffin necklaces to distinguish themselves from other less prolific goth clubs.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

The Batcave [ðə ˈbætkeiv] était une boîte de nuit londonienne ouverte de 1982 à 1985 qui s'est démarquée dans la vie nocturne du quartier de Soho à Londres, par la singularité de son ambiance, de sa musique et de son décor caractéristiques. Point de ralliement des premiers gothiques, son mot d'ordre était « Absolutely no funk ».

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Das Batcave war ein Nachtclub in Soho, London, der von 1982 bis 1985 bestand und Knotenpunkt der britischen Gothic-Szene war.
