[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7252563, member: 19675"] That often get handwaved away: 1) Many of them are talented at sewing. Fast, too. And nobody notices how much spandex they're stockpiling. 2) Few of the tech guys are billionaires. Even those that are seldom take the next step and get gov't contracts for their best stuff. 3) How do tech guys build, maintain & repair their stuff and still maintain their secret identities? Why doesn't someone notice unusual parts being made and shipped to stately Wayne Manor? The Batmobile does NOT use parts readily available at Pep Boys. (Also, why doesn't the Batmobile get ticketed, booted, and towed? It's an unlicensed, unregistered, uninspected car with no insurance?) 4) Why aren't more of them sleep deprived or addicted to uppers, considering their schedules? 5) Where do they get health care insurance, and how expensive is it? Is Gamma Radiation exposure a pre-existing condition? This is just the tip of the iceberg, of course. What else have you noticed? Chime in! [/QUOTE]
