He knows his rat girl no matter how well she disguises herself.
That's true love right there... or brainwashing... or both.
A fair point, although I like to think that it's more like "I sense a disturbance in the force" and can easily tell when something's up, specially with Jane
Wait a minutes, the rivets had to be hot? Of course, to make them smaller so that they'd lock in and never budge, but... why not lift them up and then heat them?

Heat them... in what? The furnaces used to heat rivets to a cherry red glow were heavy, cumbersome things. You'd have a single furnace that would supply all the riveters on the construction site. That's not something you can just lug around to within reach of each individual worker, especially if they're working on a level that doesn't even have a floor.

Maybe they had to re-heat them using butane torches as they passed them along or something?

Do they have to be THAT hot that they need to be heated in a furnace? That sounds so bloody dangerous that just the idea gives me shivers.

Steel is a lot harder to deform when it isn't red-hot. Cold riveting is fine in a factory setting, but for the large rivets historically used in construction, it would require impractically heavy tools.
Hot rivets have the desirable property of contracting as they cool, clamping the joint together. At lower starting temperatures, this effect becomes less pronounced, resulting in a looser joint.
