Christopher Nolan's take on the world of "Batman" is a very dark one indeed. Far removed from the campy interpretations of the 60s TV show and the Val Kilmer and George Clooney movies with their comic book style, Nolan's "Batman" depicts a very real feeling Gotham City on its knees. Society is breaking down. The police are stretched to their limits. Criminal gangs roam around every corner. And standards of journalism have gone through the floor.
Like "Superman", identifying "Batman" shouldn't be a major job for a determined journalist with a little investigative skill. He may be wearing a mask, but he's still very visibly Bruce Wayne, and how hard can it be to track something as massive as the Batmobile back to Wayne Manor? Unfortunately for Gotham, the writers of "The Gotham Times" aren't even capable of spelling the word "heist" correctly on the main headline of their front page.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
