Upcoming "Batman" movie - unintentionally symbollic?

The upcoming Batman movie features a villain named "Bane". The hero, of course, is a multimillionaire industrialist. In the comic books, Bane winds up breaking Batman's back.

Will Bain be what winds up breaking multimillionaire Romney's back?

It's Warner Brothers, who owns DC comics so your prediction will come true.
