hey, did you see the article about Bruce Wayne's penthouse apartment or whatever? so that's why his place looks different in the trailers. i guess it makes sense though, because his house was burned down at the end of Begins, but it didn't occur to me that it wasn't rebuilt. interesting.

Thanks for the scrawl, booba.
I think the scrawl might have to do with how you might "have to" vote, or just give you info swaying you to a more "moral" vote.
the violent attacks vs non violent attacks ( man at the laundromat) and the bill on alternative options for non-violent attacks.
education bill for underfunded public schools...
the rail lines, and survey of all gotham bridges for the Narrows bill.
etc...
