Batman on This Day in History

This day in history: Today is Batman day. The first Batman Day was held in 2014 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the first appearance of Batman in Detective Comics in 1939. 

Did you know: Bruce Wayne was named after two real heroes: Robert the Bruce, a Scottish national hero, and Mad Anthony Wayne, a hero of the American Revolution. 

The creation of Batman was inspired by Zorro, the Shadow and Dracula. 

The name Gotham came from a random placement in the phone book. Writer Bill Finger simply opened the phone book and placed his finger on "Gotham Jewelers." 

According to Forbes, Bruce Wayne is worth $7 billion. 

Pierce Brosnan was supposed to play Batman in the 1989 Batman instead of Michael Keaton.

Also he runs the Wayne Foundation. Which is “the holding company for the Thomas Wayne Foundation and the Martha Wayne Foundation; it is the largest transparently operated private foundation within the DC Universe.”

This at least makes him a Capitalist, providing these aren't aligned with Government in any way (which would make him a Corporatist/Fascist).
