How Much Does It Cost To Be Batman? (PHOTO)

Posted: 07/27/2012 12:13 pm

If you think you have what it takes to be the next Batman -- you've practiced your all-caps "Swear to me!" voice; it's pretty good -- well, think again. There's more to being Gotham's hero than a deep delivery. It requires deep pockets, too.

Just to underscore the fact that becoming a superhero is quite difficult, MoneySupermarket has put together an infographic which spells out the cost of being the caped crusader. Spoiler! You probably cannot afford it.

Eighteen-million dollars for the Tumbler! Fifty-thousand dollars for a Grappling Hook launcher! One-thousand dollars for forearm blades! Brace yourselves, lingering childhood fantasies, and check out the cold, hard reality of how much money it really costs to be Batman.

The Koch Brothers have so much money that they could easily afford to become Batman's nemesis : Two-Face.

It only cost a buck or two for that cheap Halloween costume I had back in1964. Trust me, I was Batman for weeks! (I was also Superman until Mom caught me trying to jump off the fridge!)

The Mittster doesn't have to be Batman, because He already is Dracula and can just turn into a Bat at will.

When did he get military pilot training, Special Forces training, and several engineering degrees? Is that canon?

it is sort of implied because outside the league of shadows many of these skills can only come from military training or training from former military officers. they probably used estimates of the costs of training enlisted military. Also to run a high tech company like Wayne Enterprises requires a high level of education. In TDR it is hinted that Bruce Wayne held several patents in his own right. He was one of the lead developers on the fusion reactor in the movie as well the autopilot update to The Bat that saved his life. Of course in all canons comic book, tv, and movies, he is considered one the smartest men in the DC universe and that takes some book learning.

That's true. He couldn't have learned all his skills in the League of Shadows. Still, I don't remember any incarnation of Batman that ever involved Bruce Wayne ever being in the military or going to college. They just skip right over that. He's like Jesus. You hear about him as a kid and then they just skip ahead until he's in his early 30's.

Those prices are retail; the super rich rarely pay retail.

That was a fun slide show. How terrible did the bat-mobile just prior to Batman Begins look?

Check out Iron Man's estimate. If Bruce Wayne wasn't all about silly charities on the side, he'd have saved enough for a nuclear-powered Batsuit and stun-pulses in his wrists.

useless considering that it all can be defeated by the blade of a knife.
