Early in Batman Begins, Ra’s al Ghul, in the guise of Henri Ducard, critiques the vigilante efforts of his prospective student Bruce Wayne.

The first and only time I visited the Catacombs of Paris, I was overwhelmed by the ignominy of the mass tomb. There below the bowels of the City of Lights, hundreds of thousands of those who lived, laughed, loved, and most certainly died found their final resting place not beneath markers of the people they […]
