Someone should ask Glenn if he saw what Luscious Fox did with the spy-tech after Batman caught the Joker…because blew it up since such a technology would be an inherent danger if someone else got their hands on it, which was mentioned earlier in the movie. If anything, Batman does push the limits of rule and law to stop a madman in the Joker, but he listens to the moral centers around him in Rachel, Alfred and Fox. He didn’t cherry pick what to listen to and when to listen to it.

If Batman was a conservative hero, wouldn’t he have at least made Arkham Asylum a Gitmo, kept the tech and made sure Gordon and some of those civilians died for sh!ts and giggles?

Fine, Glenn. Let Chris Nolan write the beginning, middle and end of Bush’s script and I’m totally down with that.

Funny – in Batman, he catches the Joker using his invasive eavesdropping techniques -all in about a day (or week’s, not sure) worth of starting it. Funny how several years later, we’ve been doing the same thing, but Osama Bin Laden is still out there somewhere. And Batman destroyed the whole contraption when he caught his villian – will that happen here too ? (I ask, tongue in cheek).

Batman went on vacation while the batphone was flashing red?

BTW Batman never conquers his enemies, they keep coming back movie after movie after movie after movie.

Bloody hell, Dark Knight is FICTION.
Fictional characters can get away with and eventually atone for any wrong doings they do with good intentions…because they’re not real.
It’s much harder to do if you’re a real person.

In fact, I can think of alot of fictional characters which’re more like Bush and Cheney — who do horrible things in the name of making the world (or universe) a better place.

Beck is a two-bit hack.

A Dennis Miller of sorts without the 5 cent words.

I mean, he thinks he’s funny?

Will they still be whining about liberal Hollywood or will they figure out they can’t have it both ways?

It’s no secret that these people see things that people with IQs above… say… 13 do not.

Batman = CARTOON CHARACTER
Bush = WAR CRIMINAL

… not even remotely the same.

If Beck were speaking from a left perspective, his remarks would qualify as uproariously good satire. Since he’s from the right and (apparently) serious… that’s kinda scary.

TripleKick 9 Says:
bush’s methods have been flawed of course, however. He has in fact stopped al queda cold, not that tp will give credit.

Is that what you call the situation in Afghanistan?
That where Al Qaeda was when we invaded Iraq, and there they still are, and in control of about 50% of Afghanistan.
Al Qaeda stopped cold?
Are you stupid?
Either you are a moron or you think we are, if you think anyone believes that hot air you are spouting.

I think I got it. Movie fiction based on a cartoon character is a vindication for war, unimaginable human tragedy, death, destruction and squandered treasure in the real world?

Glenn Beck is stunned when he sees the sun come up every morning. It’s some kind of magic or a guy in a horse-drawn chariot flying through the sky.
