How to Get Out of Handcuffs. Nothing’s more interesting than an escape from seemingly unbeatable restraints, which may explain why magicians do surprisingly well with the ladies. While you may not be ready to worm your way out of a straitjacket just yet, you can still astonish a crowd by slipping out of a set of handcuffs. 1.

In Chenzhuang Village, China, about 20 miles northwest of central Beijing, the ruins of a partially built amusement park called Wonderland sit near a highway, surrounded by houses and fields of corn.

Construction work at the park, which developers had promised would be "the largest amusement park in Asia," stopped around 1998 after disagreements with the local government and farmers over property prices. Developers briefly tried to restart construction in 2008, but without success. The abandoned structures are now a draw for local children and a few photographers, who encounter signs telling them to proceed at their own risk.

Reuters photographer David Gray visited the site on a chilly morning earlier this month and returned with these haunting images of a would-be Wonderland.

Why would he, Gordon is only a highly decorated and experienced cop.

Foley always thinks he knows better, refusing to believe the man, and then deciding to give up on police work and just hide out at home. Gordon finally convinces him to send men to the sewer (he sends all of them, stupidly) and later Gordon convinces him to join the fight. Foley is supposed to have this heroic turn around and is supposed to get a heroic death, but what he actually does is completely stupid (more on that next), but his death isn’t even really shown.

Then the police begin a long run towards the bad guys. Bane’s Anti-Climactic Death Rather, it kind of fell flat. Is Batman Ultimately Out of Character? That’s what bothered me.
