All sorts of crazy theories are flying around this week about the villain in the latest Batman movie, Bane from “The Dark Knight Rises.” First, Rush Limbaugh alleged that director Christopher Nolan chose the evil genius with venomous veins, Bane, as a metaphor for Mitt Romney’s company Bain Capital. Rush has since denied that he was accusing the Batman gang of some decades-old comic conspiracy, but the backlash has hit hard for the radio host.
And Rush isn’t the only one throwing around conspiracy theories. Occupy Wall Street protester Harrison Schultz wrote an op-ed for the Daily Beast comparing Bane’s Revolution to the Occupy Movement. Of course, this film has been in the works for years, long before anyone occupied anything. And Bane has been a villain in the comic series since the mid-nineties, just as Mitt was entering the political arena and more than a decade before he had presidential aspirations.
So if Nolan and his co-writers had some big political conspiracy in mind, they must have had a clairvoyant on their team. Nolan told ABC News, “We try to be sincere about writing situations that would frighten us, that would concern us, things that I suppose we absorb from the world around us. We never want to be overtly political in any sense.” So what do you think: Does Bane hold a deep political message?

Bane is an anarchist who tried to blow up Gotham City.
I don't see the connection.
The important thing to note is he's note there in the political role that Rush thinks he is.
"Have you heard this new movie, the Batman movie, what is it, The Dark Knight Lights Up or whatever the name is. That's right, Dark Knight Rises. Lights Up, same thing. Do you know the name of the villain in this movie? Bane. The villain in The Dark Knight Rises is named Bane, B-a-n-e. What is the name of the venture capital firm that Romney ran and around which there's now this make-believe controversy? Bain. The movie has been in the works for a long time. The release date's been known, summer 2012 for a long time. Do you think that it is accidental that the name of the really vicious fire-breathing four eyed whatever it is villain in this movie is named Bane?"
- Rush Limbaugh.
Is this guy in a cave or something? Apparently women wanting birth control are whores and he's trying to act like he hasn't heard of the Batman movie's proper title, and is also blatantly trying to ignore the fact Bane was featured in another motion picture as well. What a crock.
And TDKR has been in development since before romney started campaigning
Therefore: Rush Limbaugh is a complete idiot who tries to make everything a conspiracy theory
You know the best Arguement against socialism?
The Republican working class.
Today most of you guys will end up, homeless and be convinced its all YOUR Fault because your not good enough. You will just suck it in wandering in the cold and rains, abused ignored or insulted, sleeping on sidewalks and costing the rest of us little.
In a socialist system these people would be retrained and given employment, in expanded services for the public, if not needed for production, even though that costs tax money.
I get why people would link Bane to the Occupy Movement we recently had worldwide, but like all conspiracy theories, it all sounds a little too Farfetched (no Pokemon) to me. Thats why I am not really down with conspiracy theories and such.
People told me to watch Zeitgeist 1 and 2 and that it will change my vision on modern day life. I haven't found the time yet to watch the movies, but I surely can't wait to see them now. But first up; ''The Dark Knight Rises'' is hitting theatres now, and I can't wait to catch that flick either
Well, I admit, it isn't NEW. But that doesn't mean it isn't NEWS.
And it's a wise strategy. The Zombie Apocalypse is starting. But the Zombies won't attack Rush; he has no brains for them to feed on.
Bain... is a corporation.
Pain... is what we will all feel, if either of these Big government, corporatism/cronyism flip-floppers become president.
That would be a bane on all of our existence!
