A castle build with a difference. The middle eastern influenced architecture is amazing. Got o love Batmn and a big blck scorpion too - :).

This is yummy gorgeous, with a hint of whimsy and humor. My favorite type of brick build.

Since you like to add so many people to your favs add this guy http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/52438 it would make his day.

Holy medieval MOC magnificence, Batman! Excellent vision and imaginative design as ever, you're the worthy winner of the coveted MO title. Great idea for the Bricklink auction too, I hope it raises a lot, it deserves to.

Congratulations Dave!

Just about the coolest thing I've seen in some time, this MOC deserved the win for sure. Well built and well played, Kaleta!

This is definitely a fantastic creation Dave. It looks like you won?! Pssshhhh....I knew Joker would choke.....he always does! You wouldn't believe this, but I came down with Strep AGAIN!!! The same exact timing....would have left me for dead in the water either round. I'm starting to think you cursed me. Well played Batman, well played.

Here is my official congratulations on an epic journey. You da man!~H

Why is everybody so great at lego creating. I'm ok at it. but you are AWESOME AT IT!! Geese words can't describe how great it is!

Nice work.Can u check out my stuff.

epic build and you have won the moc olyimpics

You must take pleasure in absolutely murdering everyone in contests because you did it again! LOL Yet another epic entry sir. Well done!

Congrats on a really well deserved win! What a beautiful moc to end the games on. Wow, just amazing that you made that so quick. It has so much detail and a very clever style of fantasy/reality feel to it. Love that shot looking down on Bats.

Congrats on a well-deserved win, Dave! YOU DA MAN!!! The castle alone is beautifully rendered, but the reimagining of the Batman story really makes it stand out.

Great work!

A total winner mate, this is gorgeous, love the sloping walls!

love it! especially the story, congratulations winner of the 2010 mocOlympics! i salute you!

wow, thats amazing!

this is incredible man truly awesome

Well congrats on the win Dave, it's thoroughly deserved. Even my wife thinks so! I think you've consistently built some of the best stuff in the whole contest, from Spam onwards, and this is no exception. I'm having a brick holiday in Arkham before commencing my winter training regime for next year - i'll be back.....

RHAAAAA DAVE DAVE DAVE !!!!! When will you stop to be talentuous ??!!!!

I am at a loss for words. *Speechless.*

WOW, this is AMAZING!!!!! Congrats on winning the whole MOColympics.

*shocked and awed* ... The castle is majestic in white! Insane build!

:O WOW

I applaud you. I somehow knew you would win, but I just wasn't sure until I saw this, "Final Round"." Then I knew you had won. Congratulations sir, you have deserved a cookie or two. Or three. Or four. Or five. Or however many you want... ~Waff

Perfect giant scorpions. ;)

Well, you do not need it, but a clean sweep is always nice, so here is my vote. Your castle is quite stunning and the skeletons with mime faces will haunt me no end. Congratulations Sir, cheers.

Um, wow. You have my vote as well. Lee.

Congrats on the win, it is truly well deserved. The biggest of the scorpions was my favorite part of the build, as well as the pyramid structure.

Gifted man, I congratulate you on winning the MOColympics!

Well, Dave there's not much I can say that probably hasn't already been spoken about your work in general, or your ASTOUNDING creations throughout this competition. So I'll just say congratulations on another FANTASTIC work! Stuart put together another excellent piece as well, but it came down to the scale and complexity of the build, and I think you've got him there. So to make it official...you've got my vote. You've also got my admiration for not only a mind-boggling run of creations, but for the tenacity, and good will you've shown throughout the games. It's been an honor!

Yeah, yeah, just another mind blowing creation in what turned out to be a string of unbelievable MOCs; congrats on being you. LMAO Really, your LEGO prowess knows no bounds! I'm unfamiliar with the 'Batman' headpiece, what is it from?~H

wow. i'm pretty much speechless... all i can think to say is: this is one EPIC piece of architecture. very very nice... **and now i'm speechless**

I saw Stu's entry, and I thought for a second that you might have a little competition, but we all know that Batman is always in the most danger right before he vanquishes the enemy. Nonetheless, the Joker always manages to come back to cause trouble again. I simply find it hilarious that the MO finalists have Batman and Joker SigFigs.

Lovely work all the way around, DK! Love the minarets, the alabaster towers, and the pyramid(ish) base. The whole thing screams "awesome!" and I'm so using this as inspiration for Kickbutistan.

One of the most unique castles on MOC pages - I could look at the pictures all day.

Both are inventive takes on the theme, and fun and cool pages to go through. My vote goes to Dave because of the usual magnificence of his build.

Incredible entry Dave! Rising to the occasion has gained a whole new meaning. Brilliant whimsical ideas all over the place. Crazy build to be sure. Best of luck!

Let me just take a minute to say that both you and Stu put in some truly inspired work! This contest is not only a test of your Lego skill, but also an endurance test like no other and both of you really stepped up to it! Thank you for consitantly turning in some of the most creative and inspiring mocs of the games! Now, to my vote. Both stories were great and I LOVED how you guys played off each other with the whole "Batman/Joker" thing. After all the dust had settled, my vote had to go to the better build and that my good sir, is you! Good luck with the other judges! ~ Chris.

Amazing build. I love the scorpions! Good luck! So it's just you and Stuart now?

jesus that is amazing

Even with the preview of your WIP photos, I am taken aback by the final result, and pleased there were wonderful suprises left in store. I am also amazed at how much and how well you can build within the time constraints, even if the level of quality and imagination has become expected from you. Very nice touches in the write up, and it's hard to complain about your choice of poets.

Wow. Quite a unique fortress style, but a cool one. Good job on this Dave.

Amazing scene, great build, and nice Batman touch! The second scorpion is also very nice, about as close to the real thing you can get in Lego. Extra kudos!

Oh my golly, that's awesome.

Haha and Leda thinks I have a lot of white... This is stunning Dave, good inspiration for a project I am working on atm :) Good luck with the judges! ~Thoy

Unbelievable! The unique architecture, angles, and posing are all fantastic. Nicely done!

What a final entry for the MocOlympics. The sheer beauty of this ivory-like masterpiece is breathtaking. You truely have an eye for architecture.

I see Batman about to get Joker! What symbolism! Even though I'm not much of a judge, I'm astounded at this! Incredible! I have to say, I hope you win! Partly because Batman is my dad's favorite super hero. XD Great job!

The spires are a nice touch.

Thats pretty epic but some combat would have made it better. Still a 5/5 in my book though. >Eric

Great Final entry, Dude! Good luck!

Is there any remedy for jaw-on-the-floor syndrome?

Holy blockbuster Batman! I knew what you were building and it's still jaw-dropping Dave. The variety of techniques employed to create the shapes in the citadel is impressive, the details are lovely, the presentation is great and that evil Farceur guy is pretty handsome too. I'll be posting mine in the next hour or two and then the judges can put me out of my misery. Congrats on another great build mate.

This is just jaw dropping. The idea, details, story it all top notch.

OK, so I get that you are a professional builder and extremely talented - but come on, this is just crazy! I mean how the...and then there's the armies...and things and details...and "I'll just park my scorpion here, ok, thanx!" and even more details. Brilliant work!

Whoa. All I can say is, whoa. Is Stuart the king? Haha. On a more serious note, I love the attitude you've brought to the games. It's not just about winning or losing. I went up against Matt Pondiscio in the second round, and now we're pretty good friends. You've put so much effort into all of these entries, too. I think you really deserve to win this.

Ah! One of the much-awaited final entries to the MOC olympics, with big scary scorpions, a way cool fortress, and a poorly-disguised Batman-Joker conflict to give it a distinct Dave Kaleta touch. Awesome.

WOW!! Looks like you are going to win this, or Stuart must come up with something even more amazing... Good luck! Greets, Jelle

I bow to you, oh lord. Please bring this to Brickworld 2011 so I my prostrate myself before it.

Oh - my - god... Dave, with every Olympics entry you posted you baffled the mass in beauty, in technique, in creativity! This is another awesome one, and no: I don't tend to use the word a lot. It doesn't top your Aquastlenauts in my book, but it's d* close! Good luck with your judges.

whaaaaat ? that's so awesome ! you're just going to win the mocolympics, so did you plan this all along ? :P

This is an incredible creation! Love all the difficult techniques you incorporated. Good luck!

OMFG!!! This is amazing! Good luck. I hope you win :D
