    Being Bruce Wayne doesn’t take much time at all. Being a capital landlord just means barking a few orders and paying other people to actually work.

    A boardroom meeting here, a fancy party there.

    This was portrayed very well in the Nolan trilogy.

    If anything he’s Batman or training/prepping to be batman 12+ hours a day, sleeping 6-8 or maintaining muscle would be next to impossible(if he is in fact supposed to be human), and the rest to being a billionaire CEO.

      I seem to recall an interaction between Bats, Superman, and WW.

      All lassoed with the lasso of truth and stating their real identities.

      Two give their real birth names, and Bats just identifies as batman, revealing that Bruce is absolutely his alter ego, billionaire mask he wears in public.

    He only has to be a billionaire playboy for a few hours then he can pretend to get blackout drunk at a party or something and sleep for the rest of the day.

    I mean, some of us would sleep at sunrise and wake up at like 1pm if given the chance. I don’t think anyone would bat an eye if Bruce Wayne did it too

    My friend tried this thing where you nap for 20 minutes every 4 hours or so.

    They managed to get into a good rhythm with it for a while.

    They stopped because they missed sleep and it was weird as fuck being awake all the time.

    They had an amazing ability to fall asleep almost instantly so I imagine that made it much easier.

      Sleep deprivation will do that.

      It’s called the Everyman/uberman sleep cycle depending on how extreme you go and it’s pretty interesting. Tried the Everyman for awhile and it was nice but if you get sick or otherwise mess it up it you basically have to restart the whole process. Also tough to do if you’re not single, once I met my wife I fully gave it up.

        Yup. Only works if you can hit your nap times every time without fail. A single missed nap will completely ruin everything. Not a lot of people have lives/jobs conducive to naps every 4 hours on the dot.

    Me: “haha, yeah sleep is important”

    Also me: Not sleeping but consuming memes in the middle of the night about a guy not sleeping because he thinks of a fictional guy not sleeping in order to fight crime.

    I know nothing of fighting crime. I expect it is long periods of boredom, with short and intense action. At some point, except at the conclusion of something, crime is nearly nothing at 4 AM. Sleep to noon, then get going. Alfred and any assistants can have decisions lined up for him.

    I bet he does not cook, do laundry, or clean.

    According to the Sam Hamm/Denys Cowan story from way back when, he’s able to get all the rest he needs in, like, 40 minutes.
