Hi everyone,

I have a site called justicebulletin.com which focuses on the superhero genre on the big and small screen. I've been lucky enough to have some writers from these boards contribute articles and reviews - if any of you are interested in doing so please feel free to PM me. Thanks!

Does anybody have a link to this great article that went into Nolan's influences, visual style etc? The only specific thing I remember is the comparison between the bathroom scenes in Inception and The Shining. There were comparisons to Heat, also.

EDIT: Never mind, I found it in another thread. LOVE this article: http://nilesfilmfiles.blogspot.com.au/2 ... up-to.html
