So was George W Bush really "Batman" behind the scenes?

[Taverner]

As Christopher Nolan would have us believe?

1. Yeah, I read cracked.com, too

One key difference is that Batman gave the "total information awareness" to an independent agency and provided the means of destroying "information awareness" from the outset.

The director isn't always the final authority on a character's motivations. For pity's sake, Ridley Scott thinks that Deckard was a replicant, for crying out loud!

[Taverner]

2. Exactly - that's what started me on this

And looking into Christopher Nolan and Frank Miller's ideology reveals some very fascist ideas

4. RE: Frank Miller

I've suspected his bullshit Libertarianism for about 25 years, and I have to admit that he's seldom done anything to make me question it.

I'm less certain about Nolan's personal political views, though; I haven't read enough about them to evaluate them independent of his art.


And I hate cracked.com, because when I click on it I'm magically trapped there for about 30 hours while I read list after list after list. Damn you, cracked.com! Damn you!

3. "Ratman", perhaps, but that would be an insult to rats. nt

6. Prescient much? (^nice)

8. I have come to the conclusion that the entire world has only one brain

and we keep sharing it back and forth. Nolan must have picked it up off of me while I was sleeping.

10. me thinks there is more to that than one would tend to accept! n/t

13. Universal consciousness maybe.

7. Hey, that person has the same name as you!

What are the odds?

9. Sometimes I think I've been here too long.

I kind of miss the pre-blog days when we all had to submit articles to be considered for the front page.

11. Batman wasn't drunk all to hell.

12. Close: he WAS Barfman.
