The cost of being Batman - Infographic by MoneySupermarket We've all wanted to be Batman at one time or another, but how much would it cost to actually become Batman? Of all the superheroes, Batman's wealth is significantly larger than most - with the possible exception of Tony Stark aka Iron Man. Wayne Manor costs $600,000,000 alone with an annual running cost of $37,000. Top that off with $80 million worth of vehicles and a stockpile of weapons totalling more than $10,000 and you will have to save pretty hard to afford to become Batman. Of course Batman hasn't saved or taken out a loan to build up his wealth. He was born in to the Wayne family fortune and now owns Wayne Enterprises, a multinational organisation with divisions in technology, shipping, defence, chemicals and many more.

3 things the Joker has taught me about content marketing - NewsReach As an avid Batman fan, I thought Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker in the Dark Knight was one of the most terrifying and brilliant examples of acting in modern cinema. He was also brutally honest in the movie and because of this I’d like to take some of his more famous lines from the movie and apply them to what content marketers have had to come to grips with recently. 1. “You wanna know how I got these scars…?” Maps Mania: How to Create Hexagon Grid Maps In How to Create Grid Maps I gave an example of a square grid map created using the Leaflet.js mapping library. I really wanted to add an example of a hexagon grid map to that post but I didn't have the time to create the hexagon shapes. CartoDB however has come to the rescue with this nice hexagon grid map of Bee Loss in the USA. The map shows the percentage of bee loss in each state from April 2014 to April 2015. The hexagon polygons for the Bee Loss map is provided in a table view with a neat little button to download the data as a GeoJSON file. So what's a guy to do?
