He's faced the Joker, he's faced the Penguin.
Now superhero Batman is set to lock horns with an altogether different
kind of opposition the Mill Hill Anti-Vivisection Alliance.
It was finally confirmed this week that director Christopher Nolan will be
bringing a star-studded cast to the National Institute for Medical
Research (NIMR) in Mill Hill to film part of the Hollywood blockbuster
Batman Begins.
But film company Warner Bros is already in talks with Barnet police to
establish what security arrangements can be made when filming begins at
the institute, which uses animals for research into diseases such as
malaria and tuberculosis.
Amid threats of protests by the Mill Hill Anti-Vivisection Alliance,
Warner has made staff at the NIMR sign a confidentiality agreement to keep
the date of the filming under wraps.
