Spider-Man, Batman all had to pay rent: Magnus Carlsen, now a father, is no exception

BENGALURU: Peter Parker still has to make rent. That's the part of the superhero myth that doesn't generally make it to the big screen.Spider-Man saves New York by night and shoots freelance photographs by day, not because he loves deadlines, but because somebody has to pay for groceries. Bruce Wayne funds the Batcave through a company he actually has to run. Even the billionaires among comic-book heroes tend to keep one foot planted in something as unglamorous as payroll, because the world they're protecting doesn't pause its bills just because they're busy saving it.The genius of that storytelling trope isn't the fighting. It's the quiet insistence that even extraordinary people don't get to opt out of ordinary responsibility.
