Makes me think that the Lego movie intended that. Which is odd because aren't Legos made in Taiwan?

Can confirm. Also, it's not a villain lair, as it's clearly Batman's lair.

Also, Melbourne has an identical building owned by some other company I've never heard of. Saw it on a train visiting my sister.

Yeah. AT&T bought it. My dad works for AT&T and outside the building a sign still says Bellsouth

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Haha that's great. I had just assumed from the phrasing that it related to 9/11

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Because BellSouth was sold to AT&T? I think so, I'unno.

Thats the basic. There are more complex ways to use it too. I could upvote a comment I don't agree with because it's argumented well. I.e.
