I wonder how they came to the figures for all the equipment? It was a very interesting article, however.

Personally, I'm forgoeing the machine guns and making my Saccenti-mobile as street legal as possible. At least that's the plan. I haven't gotten past the ejector seat yet.

Plus, I'm still pricing caves. Can't get a decent size one here in Jersey

There are a few in Arkansas, but not around here. Maybe Batman should live in Nashville or Knoxville in Tennessee. Nashville's already got the Bat Building!

Wonder what one of Batgirl's cycles would cost? You can get a fairly cool-looking Kawasaki with 2,000 cc displacement for $13, 499. But then you'd have to customize it quite a bit.

Looked like it was mostly retail figures. Rather disappointing that they didn't price compact smoke bombs.

Neat article! Of course it would be even costlier the way batman goes through suits and vehicles...

In most comics stories his outfit gets shredded so easily one doubts he's springing for the body armor. False economy there.
