Unfortunately, bbox_inches option is never meant to be complete in
figuring out the exact  size of the figure area.
However, you  can use "bbox_extra_artists" keyword argument to specify
additional artists that should be considered when dertermining the
plot size.

mytitle = fig.suptitle("Horray!", fontsize=20)

...

fig.savefig("out.png", bbox_inches='tight', bbox_extra_artists=[mytitle])
