A new series of infographics has been released by Mashable, revealing the price of being Batman, Superman, and the Hulk. The infographics not only break down the cost of being one of these life-savers in the present day, but also compares this cost to that of 1939.
Batman is, unsurprisingly, the costliest superhero. Without superhero powers, he must spend a pretty penny on cool gadgets that can match those used by his enemies. The resulting fee? Over $135 million. This is quite a bit more than the $10 thousand he required in 1939. It looks like Christopher Nolan's interpretation of Batman was a little more luxurious.
Superman is the most cost efficient superhero. However, there is a catch: to budget like the Man of Steel, you need to have been born with impossibly unyielding superpowers. Since Superman doesn't need to shell out a ton of money on automobiles, gadgets, or other simple human stuff, his total costs only come to around $29 thousand. While this is much cheaper than Batman's, it's still a far cry from the meagre $400 he required in 1939. It looks like even the Man of Steel has become a bit more frivolous with his spending.
After looking through these infographics, it's clear that if you're looking to begin a career in superhero-ing, you'd better start saving now!
