Boycott Dark Knight?

12. sorry, the writer

Bane’s creator, Chuck Dixon, came up with the villain in 1993 so yes, in fact, I do think it’s a coincidence. But don’t take my word for it. Dixon himself says this conspiracy theory is ridiculous.

“The idea that there’s some kind of liberal agenda behind the use of Bane in the new movie is silly,” Dixon told ComicBook.com. “I refuted this within hours of the article in the Washington Examiner suggesting that Bane would be tied to Bain Capital and Mitt Romney appearing. Bane was created by me and Graham Nolan and we are lifelong conservatives and as far from left-wing mouthpieces as you are likely to find in comics.”

Bane is hardly a symbol of venture capitalism according to Dixon.

“As for his appearance in The Dark Knight Rises, Bane is a force for evil and the destruction of the status quo,” Dixon said. “He’s far more akin to an Occupy Wall Street type if you’re looking to cast him politically. And if there ever was a Bruce Wayne running for the White House it would have to be Romney.”
