[Superhero] How did Batman—or hell, really any billionaire superhero—build their lair without anyone knowing who they are? (sopuli.xyz)

How did Bruce Wayne, Ted Kord, Oliver Queen, or any rich superhero build their lair without anyone knowing who they are—especially when so few people know their secret identity?

Well Batman, Bruce Wayne, is the owner of Wayne Enterprises. That entity develops his technologies and, presumably, ships and handles the logistics of delivery. WE’s Operations Head is Lucius Fox, who knows of Bruce’s Batman identity.

Since Batman’s lair is built on the private Wayne estate in an unknown cavern complex, presumably Bruce and Lucius have been able to misdirect public records for the shipment and inventory of the Batcave equipment.

They’d still need workers to build it all. Maybe they just told them they were building Bruce a freaky sex dungeon.

Hire undocumented immigrants and hint at how they could get deported at any moment if they ask too many questions. Then deport them anyway after they're done.

He could pull a Wonka and abduct an entire tribe to use as slave labor
