Bane is not a new character. I looked him up on the great Internetz, and he first appeared in 1993. He was also in the 1997 “Batman & Robin” movie.

Seems like a coincidence, but perhaps he was cast as a villain for this reason. You never can tell anymore.

Knightfall 11, July 1993

I think this is much ado about nothing.

For the moviemakers this is just coincidence. I was in LA last September and saw some of the night filming and it was pretty exciting with police cars and etc. all marked ‘Gotham’ and someone mentioned ‘Bane’ as being the bad guy. I didn’t see him but just overheard the crew is all.

It’s the Dummycrats who are trying to spin whatever they can to avoid dealing with Obama’s failure to do anything with the economy and this is just a handy distraction. But don’t blame the movie.

I won’t be seeing it because I loathe most anything Hollywood does, but I do like to be fair about things.

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 Bain?

Sorry, Rush... but: yeah. It is, in fact, totally coincidental.

Bane has been a major Batman villain for nearly twenty years, now... as any comics fan could instantly have informed you, had you only thought to ask first.

Uncommon sloppiness, from the normally reliable EIB Network. SHEESH!

Because the last Batman villain political connection worked out so well for Zero. /sarc

If anything, Bane as portrayed in this movie is a left wing nut who uses class warfare as a weapon. In an otherwise positive review, liberal film critic Peter Travers complained about “the reactionary politics” of the movie.

The script for this movie was written about two years ago.

So, anyway, this evil villain in the new Batman movie is named Bane. And there's now a discussion out there as to whether or not this is purposeful and whether or not it will influence voters.

Is Rush being friggin serious here? LOL.
