So I saw Batman yesterday, and yes it was very well made - brought to mind something that has bothered me before though. Without giving anything away, there is some indication in the movie of where the Joker gets his accomplices... but seriously the supply of tightly-disciplined, effective people willing to work for a homicidal maniac was unreal.
This seems to be an even bigger issue in all those movies where there is some secret, remote base somewhere. Did all the people who build it get killed afterwards without their families knowing where they had gone? Do so many young military men go missing that they could people these secret bases, and contentedly live underground for who knows how long, and get provisioned with no one the wiser?
