Comparing Batman Begins to various comic book incarnations of the character and his supporting cast. As I thought, a lot of elements were taken from Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One and there’s a little bit of The Dark Knight Returns in there as well.

When I was less than one, Mum used to take me to the beach at Milford Haven. Now, if I had £150k, I could buy a Napoleonic era fort just offshore.
The 19th Century fort – complete with a couple of cannons – dates back from the time of Napoleon, when it was initially built as a defence for the river Haven.
But it has nowhere to sleep at present, and the new owner will have to sort out sewage, water and power.
The fort, completely surrounded by water and with its own jetty, was built on a small island to protect the area from invasion.
In keeping with EcoHouse, this sounds like a case for tidal power and other renewables.
