The home listing boasts a sunny master suite with private balcony, walk-in wardrobe, and bathroom with soaking tub, as well as a sparkling plunge pool and spa. Fans expressed bewilderment online that Robert was paid a relatively 'paltry' $3million for playing Batman compared to previous actors who'd donned the black cape.
