Batman's got funding

Bruce Wayne may be better known as Batman, but his business card alludes to the deep well of wealth from the Wayne heritage. It also gives a shout-out to the famously raspy voice used by Christian Bale in the reboot blockbusters. The card gives some handy directions for pointing your Bat-Signal.
