Spirits within?: July 2012

Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy dealt with the emotional and physical cost of parading around a city fighting crime dressed as a bat, but not so much the financial cost.

Enter Moneysupermarket.com, who have had their top boffins calculate how much Bruce Wayne had to delve into his piggy bank to on his quest for justice.
Covering everything from a periscope to his butler Alfred's salary, the infographic below details how much you'd have to spend to become the caped crusader...

Considering Bruce Wayne is a billionaire business man. I do not think he cares.

Yes it is alot of money but then he makes billions soooo... Thats small amount for him and a kinda one off payment because he doesn't buy a new vehicle every day....

Well if I win the lottery, I'll be getting the suit. May have to use the bus to get to crime scenes, but can't have it all!

Batman would never work in real life or any superhero for that matter, you would get all the do gooders and human rights people go on saying he should leave it to the police!!!

The cost of Batman? £682,451,350.
Saving just one Gotham-city life? Priceless.

All very interesting, but if you look at the overall cost of providing a Batman, it is still cheaper than the cost of RBS's Stephen Hester or Barclays Bob Diamond and all they do is grin like clowns while pocketing huge salaries.

It takes more than money to be Batman though. You have to be smart, dedicated, never trust anyone, be on the call for duty practically 24/7 and push your body beyond its limits.
