How Much Would It Cost To Be Batman?

ADVERTISEMENT

Superheroes are made in many different ways. Some through training like the Green Arrow, others through a circumstance like Spiderman’s bite, and others by being absolutely and ridiculously wealthy, like Batman.

That astronomical figure takes into account the Batcave-Mansion combo, and if you remove the cost of rebuilding Wayne Manor and the Batcave (although you obviously couldn’t be Batman without the Batcave), you could become your childhood superhero for a mere $83 million… far more achievable! That figure includes the suit, training, equipment, gadgets, and, of course, a trusty manservant.

So let`s calculate how much it will cost you to be Batman?

    The Suit

    Batman’s suit alone costs a wedge – made from Nomex materials, the suit is insulated, padded, fire-resistant and bulletproof (but only against small firearms). This high-tech piece of equipment would set you back about $1,058,600.

    The Vehicles

    You won’t catch Batman driving anything but the best and newest of rides, so how much would his vehicles set you back in your quest to become a millionaire hero?

    The Tumbler alone would set you back a cool $18,000,000 – a military bridging vehicle equipped with weapons and capable of stealth mode operations, a ride like this doesn’t come cheap.

    The Batpod, a motorbike-like vehicle that is essentially an escape pod from the Tumbler, is steered solely by shoulder movements and capable of turning 90 degrees almost instantaneously. It would cost you a reasonable $1,500,000.

    And, of course, The Bat. A high-tech, top-of-the-line innovation, The Bat is a hovering vehicle capable of vertical take-offs and landing and is as agile as a helicopter. The estimated cost of such a craft would be as high as $60,000,000.

    The Gadgets

    Arguably better equipped than Mr. Gadget himself, Batman has a vast and varied range of dangerous and creative weapons in his arsenal. However, top-of-the-line can only mean one thing – top prices.

    His Humble Abode

    So here’s the kicker – after Wayne Manor, its grounds and the Batcave were destroyed in “Dark Knight Rises,” the biggest cost you’re going to incur is rebuilding it back to its former glory. But not just rebuilding it, also hiring security, reinforcing the Batcave, installing the systems and supercomputers, keeping the workers quiet, building medical facilities and labs and the rest of it. All of that will set you back a cool $600,000,000. But hey, if you’ve got that kind of money laying around, what better to spend it on, right? Add in the cost of your ever-loyal manservant and, well, it’s beginning to look a little pricey.

    The Training

    If you’ve got all these cool toys, cars and labs, you’re going to need to be pretty well educated to use it, so you’ll need to factor in a few engineering degrees, special firearms training and military pilot training too.

    To become Batman you have to pay $682,450,750
