Batman and Economics

Galley Friend B.W. sends us this link examining the economic theory behind whether or not supervillains should coordinate in their efforts to capture/kill the Batman.

Surprisingly the answer is, no.

    The problem with that analysis is that he's only taking into account the psychic satisfaction/credit each villain would receive. He's not considering all the added time they wouldn't spend in Arkham and all the extra loot they could steal. It seems to me that there'd be a lot of value in that extra time…

    I picture a scene from Batman Begins, with the dialogue changed so that Batman yells "DO I LOOK LIKE A GAME THEORIST?!?"
