"Actually, Batman doesn't need a paycheck, and he's not doing it completely for justice so much as a reaction to something from his childhood. Superman isn't human, and he is super...man. He's not your everyday man. Black Canary is a new one, but I am sure even she has a backstory that puts her at odds with being a normal part of the working society."

That can't be a normal size, unless he goes to a specialty shop for men."
