This came out a while ago and was on my list of things to post about.
Someone at MIT became a little envious of Batman’s gadgets and went and invented their own. Then they built a whole company around it.
This was actually made out of the workings of a power drill.
Batman probably went to someplace like MIT or Virginia Tech or Cal Tech, etc.

When the movie “Batman Begins” came out in the summer of 2005, Forbes magazine did an article on what it would cost if you wanted to buy your way into being a modern day Batman.
Here is their breakdown:
The Training $30,000 (Shaolin Temple -Tagou. For 3 years)
The Suit $1,585
The Belt $290
The Car $2,000,000
The Cave $24,000 (for one year) (really an old warehouse in a questionable neighborhood)
The Alter Ego $1,109,574
The Butler $200,000 a year
Final Cost: $ 3,365,449
When you look at it that way, and take into account that Bruce Wayne is worth about $6.3 billion (according to Forbes), being Batman for Bruce Wayne is quite the bargain.
As a percentage of net worth (.05%) most of us spend more than that on our hobbies.
