Forbes estimates he's worth $6.9 billion
At the end of Batman Begins Wayne Enterprises goes public. General Electric is another public company with a significant defense sector, and a long history, founded in New York. Its shares trade at around 16 times its earnings. If Wayne Enterprises trades at a similar ratio then it has a net worth of $23.22 billion. This would make Wayne Enterprises the 121st largest firm in the world by market capitalization. And how much of this is Bruce Wayne worth? We know that he holds the company dear and at the end of Batman Begins purchases a controlling stake. Assuming that this is 50% of the firm, this makes him worth $11.6 billion. This would make the Bruce Wayne depicted in the Batman films the 73rd richest person in the real world, and the fourth richest person in the fictional world, putting him ahead of Iron Man.

Ezekiel Tal - Communist Party
Account Name: Trotskylvania
Occupation: Senator, Professor of Philosophy, Playwright
Party Position(s):
- Secretary-General
Positions in Government:
Senator
Constituency: N/A
Political Ideology: Libertarian communism
Family: Wife - Ann Bancroft (divorced)
Background: Ezekiel Tal was born the youngest son of a politically conservative, wealthy Jewish family. Educated abroad in the colonial homeland of the United Kingdom, Tal ran into trouble with his family early on. Though too young to fight, at the tender age of 14 Tal left home, lying about his age to serve as a journalist and non-combat volunteer in the Spanish Civil War. In Spain, his youthful rebelliousness flowered, and he made many friends among the Communists in the International Brigades. Upon returning home and resuming his schooling, he joined the Communist Party youth in secret, and was soon the young prodigy was recruited by British intelligence from Oxford University.
Tal, to his shame, served as a low level Soviet mole in British intelligence during the Second World War. He was growing increasingly distant from the Party during the struggle against Nazi Germany. After the war, he left the SIS and returned to Oxford, finishing his Ph.D., and publishing a lengthy dissertation on epistemology and scientific instrumentalism. In 1956, with the publication of Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" and his quashing of the Hungarian Revolution, Tal finally left the CPGB for good. Unlike many others of his generation, Tal retained his youthful zeal for communist revolution: albeit one free from the evils of Stalinism.
Due to his activity in the left communist International Communist Tendency, and revelations of his role in Soviet intelligence, Tal was ousted from his post at Cambridge University. At this point, Tal finally returned to his native Aurentinia, and reconciled with his estranged parents shortly before their passing. He took a post teaching logic and epistemology in the capital, and became active in both the local theater scenes as well as the underground workers' movement. A prolific playwright in his own right, he authored some two dozen plays over the next few decades, and performed in several productions including a well received performance as Shylock in The Merchant of Venice in the mid 70s.
Tal became a founding member of the left communist Aurentinan Communist Party, which he currently chairs as the party's old statesman.
Faith: None (Atheist)
Likes: Scotch whisky, riding trips in the country side, a good book, acting, writing, spy thrillers, transhumanism
Dislikes: Aristocracy, business majors, that guy in undergraduate philosophy classes who needs to shut the fuck up, theater purists
Any Questions from the Public to be answered?
- What is the greatest regret of your long career? - I have many, but the undoubtedly most important one, from which all others flow, was my decision when I arrived in Barcelona in 1936 to join up with the International Brigades instead of the CNT/FAI. In what followed, I did many questionable things working for Soviet and then British intelligence. I became part of systems that actively subverted the revolution that I believed in, and just as often aided and abetted fascism as fought it.

It was shown that he was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome when on holiday in England at the age of 14. He was fascinated by science, mathematics and politics(especially physics and space) which he studied extensively in his free time, rarely socialising with anyone which left him a lonely child further increasing his inability to commicate effectively. He ended up becoming incredibly aggressive towards his peers - sometimes nearly killing them. This ended up with his family employing a therapist which managed to help him with his inability to communicate effective however this practically revealed his rather sociopathic tendencies.
After he left school he ended up going to University of Cambridge to become Master of Advanced Study (MASt) in Astrophysics and MPhil in International Relations and Politics while often hiding away generally while also studying intensively. He ended up earning a masters in both and he also finalised his outlook on the world as a nationalistic, futurist, totalitarian, realist with a focus on perfectionalism.

Any Questions from the Public to be answered?
I've experienced both physical and verbal racism when I was in England, mostly neonazi white supremacist EDL scumbags who have intelligence of an subatomic quark which was naturally restarted. In other words I hate them for being absolutely idiotic. And most of them in Aurentina, ended up dead due to some crime boss got bored and I say good riddance.
I see it as completely irrational and illogical, pretty much the same way I view any sexuality but Asexuality. I also dislike love for its ability to make the human brain do many irrational things.
