My first thought was to put in near Las Vegas as well. He probably can't put it on the Strip because of the expense, but he can get it close enough to the city that people will go. And Vegas has lots of cheap desert land within an easy drive.
Maybe he can get it close to Lake Mead or something if he wants scenic.
"It's clear that we'd save tons of money on our defense budget, which would give us the chance to handle many domestic issues which we never seem to have the budget for."
While we could certainly save tons of money from the defense budget, that likely will not translate to drastically increased expenditures for social services. Even at $600 billion, the federal government already spends more on Medicare and Medicaid than defense. It spends more on Social Security too. The money isn't there. They might be able to free up funds to keep Social Security solvent, but that's about it.
That Superman outfit is essentially the Connor Kent Superboy outfit. Likewise the Straczynski Wonder Woman went with a leather jacket and such. People hated it.
Batman's size varies a lot in the DCAU. I think there is a Bruce Timm interview where he talks about how the character design had to change to fit in with the cast and the role they were expecting him to play.
Early in Batman TAS he was fairly lean. Then he gets bigger when the art style changes and Tim Drake shows up. He and Superman are essentially the same size in the Batman/Superman crossover episodes. Then in Justice League he seems to get smaller (or at least leaner) to be a better counterpoint to a big strong Superman. And Bruce is still quite stocky in Batman Beyond to contrast with a young lean Terry. It's generally hard to get a good feel for his height, because the length of the ears on the cowl change quite a bit.
The Jungle Book is not a novel. It is a collection of short stories. Which is why the movie probably seems to ramble a bit and lack a strong through-plot.
Interesting but not especially accurate. Among other things, the ancestor of the modern domesticated cow is the aurochs. They have a lot more in common with buffalo than the modern cow. They're huge and have massive horns, but this didn't stop them from being domesticated twice in both India and Eurasia.
This makes very little sense to me. You can buy an inexpensive tent that sleeps 2 for $30 at Walmart. It won't last forever, but it will last multiple uses and packs up very small. And it will last far longer than a $16 cardboard tent will in the rain. Perhaps European pricing on camping goods isn't as good with VAT, etc.?
1955 Doc asks Marty who the President is in 1985. Marty replies that it is Ronald Reagan. Doc replies incredulously saying "The actor?" This is one of Reagan's favorite lines in the movie. He made the projectionist stop and rewind the film at least once so he could hear it again.
