[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

By having "Dark Knight" and "Iron Man 2" taking the conservative side, isn't this just Hollywood's way of relegating conservative beliefs to the the make-believe world of comic books?

Is your complaint really that more people are being exposed to Conservative principles through a movie based on a comic book.

How many people will see Iron Man 2? How many people would see a movie based on a dry discourse of conservative principles?

Culture is shaped in many ways by mass entertainment.

As I pointed out, I am unsure what to think. I agree that it is good that people are being exposed to Conservative thought, but I am worried that they will think that it only works in a comic-book world and not reality.

Perhaps when "Atlas Shrugged" makes it to the big screen without being butchered, I will be more hopeful. Then again, some of Rand's tech is comic-book as well...
