In what is quite possibly the most comprehensive look at the financial cost of being Batman, Movieclips Trailers analyzed the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy and compared Batman’s gear to current market prices to come up with the definitive price it would take to be the dark knight. The final tally? $79,237,480.98. Not too expensive for a billionaire, right?

While most of us have converted to reading digital formats instead of traditional paper books, many of us still have a collection of reading material that deserves to be preserved in physical form – like classic comics, anime or art books. So if you have just a few books that need a home, what better place to keep them than in a Batman bookshelf?
These custom-made bookshelves from Fahmi Sani of Fiction Furniture are inspired by Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight series, with the sharp-edged Bat-symbol associated with those flicks. It’s the perfect thing for keeping reading materials in your Bat-cave.
And for those of you who can’t decide if you like the old or new Batman logo better, he’s got a schizophrenic version for you guys too. Though if a bat had lop-sided wings like this, it would probably only be able to fly in a circle – if it could fly at all:
They’re both available over on his Etsy shop for $267 Australian Dollars (~$284 USD).
If you’re a comic book geek or love Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight movies, get your wallet out. A company called Infothink has created a new Batman flash drive based on The Dark Knight Rises, and it looks pretty cool.
The flash drive and its dock look like a bust of Batman in his black armor. Batman’s head separates from the body and has 16 GB of flash storage inside. The bat logo glows when the chest and neck portion of the flash drive is plugged into a USB port, as do Batman’s eyes when the flash drive section is plugged in. The flash drive has 16 GB of storage, and each one has an individual serial number with an RFID tag that can be read by smartphones with NFC support.
This is an officially-licensed DC Comics collectible, and it’s not cheap, selling for $86.99(USD).
