Batman’s pretty damn cool, with his cowl, cape and gravelly crime-fighting voice, but is he as cool as Bill Gates? Anyone under the spell of Christopher Nolan’s reignited version of the franchise might just be staring at their screens in beggared disbelief at the idea that anyone could even ask that question.
An infographic by financial blogger Frugal Dad, however, looks to make a case for Microsoft’s billionaire co-founder. “Obviously most of us don’t have the kind of capital that Bill Gates has to work with, but I feel that everyone could learn from his philosophy towards philanthropy,” says the blogger.

“He sees charitable endeavours as something well worth investing in, because ultimately everyone benefits from an overall better quality of life around the world”.
Frugal Dad reckons that Gates sums it up best himself: “[The] hybrid engine of self-interest and concern for others can serve a much wider circle of people than can be reached by self-interest or caring alone.”
Here at Memeburn, we think the argument could’ve been settled with a single point. Gates is trying to defeat malaria with lasers. We’d like to see the Dark Knight beat that.
