The Real Cost of Being Batman

Batman has always been one of my favorite superheroes because the character is actually in the realm of possibility. That is to say, he's not an alien, he wasn't bitten by a radioactive bug, and he didn't receive special powers from some mythical source. He is a man. A man that can afford better than military gear and really cool cars.

So do you want to be Batman? Money Supermarket has done the math for you and the reality is that for a mere $682,451,350 you can become a real world superhero. I guess I know what I'll spend the prize on if I ever win the lottery.
