A private island 'fit for Batman' has gone up for sale for almost $9 million

A home fit for Batman - set on a private island with underground features - has gone up for sale for nearly $9 million (£7.6 million).

The 14,000 sq ft five bedroom and nine-bathroom home has been compared to the luxury pad of Bruce Wayne - Batman's super rich alter ego.

It is set on a private island in Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, US, and comes with a home theatre and black and white features throughout.

The four-level home contains en-suites in every bedroom, with the primary bedroom equipped with its own roof deck - perfect for spotting the Bat Signal.
