If Batman had a Range Hood, This Would be It
Does the Batcave have a kitchen? If you are reading this, Bruce, call me. I designed a badass custom range hood. For you, I’ll even paint it black. Of course, I didn’t design it with the Batman in mind (well not consciously,
Modern Glass Home in Kauai, Hawaii
