How Much Would It Cost to Be Batman in Real Life? [Infographic]
It’s probably safe to say that everyone, at one point, has fantasized about being a superhero. Let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to know how to fly, possess exceptional physical strength, or even just be able to wear a cape without looking silly? But have you ever thought about how much costs to be superhuman? According to this infographic, it’s certainly not cheap to be someone like Batman. The Batmobile alone boasts a price tag of $18,000,000 and Batman’s arsenal of nifty gadgets are worth over $200,000. And don’t forget investments like special training, and maintaining Wayne Manor. At a total cost of $682,450,750, perhaps being supernatural isn’t quite as spectacular as it seems.

Does he make efforts to meet your friends, and introduce you to his own? Do his eyes focus only on you, even in a crowded room? Congratulations – the affection is mutual.

Why Wrestlers Make the Best Employees
