According to Rush Limbaugh, despite admitting that The Dark Knight, has been in the works for a quite a while, claims that the new Batman film is attack on Mitt Romney, "Do you think it is accidental that the name of the really vicious, fire-breathing, four-eyed, whatever-it-is villain in this movie is named Bane?"

Or did Time-Warner get Romney to name his company Bane as promotion for their bullshit Batman movie?

Even if this were true, wouldn't it be more of an issue that voters would believe that Romney had real world business dealings with a fictional character?

Exactly, and worse given the timeline, Romney left Bain & Company to co-found Bain Capital in '84. He left to run the Olympics in '99, but if you go by the Boston Herald in 1999, Romney said he would stay on part-time at Bain. Either way, that means he was there when Batman & Robin was released in 1997.

That means Romney didn't work fior the new Dark Knight Rises Bane, he worked for the dumb Bane featured in the 1997 Batman & Robin, and possibly was connected with the FUTURE governor of California, Mr. Freeze. AND the well known pro-legalization hippie lefty Poison Ivy.

The only problems with this theory are:

1. Bane was created for comics in the 1990s by Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan, both of them hardcore right-wingers, long before Mitt Romney was a serious candidate for anything.

2. Batman is a billionaire industrialist who cripples criminal suspects without benefit of trial. He wouldn't be hanging out with Occupy Gotham City, he would be running over the hippies with his Bat-hummer.

3. Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot.

You could write a book on that. It would be a great way to start a career in politics.

Indeed.

And yet, when Chuck Dixon wrote Airboy in the 1980s, there was a controversy when a panel of the book showed the evil South American dictator villain with an autographed picture of Ronald Reagan. Dixon defended the image against complaints it was unfair to Reagan.
