Rush Limbaugh Thinks ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Is An Anti-Romney Conspiracy — Really
By Chris Sims
With the release of The Dark Knight Rises coming up on Friday, anticipation for Christopher Nolan’s final Batman film has reached a fever pitch. Still, I don’t think anyone expected the media hype to get to the level of ridiculousness it managed to achieve this week, when political commentator Rush Limbaugh claimed that the character of Bane was included in the film as part of a vast media conspiracy against Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s association with investment firm Bain Capital.
The jury’s still out on whether Limbaugh actually believes this or if he’s participating in some incredible trolling, but either way it comes as news to Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan, who apparently orchestrated a Democratic conspiracy almost 20 years ahead of the election when they co-created Bane with Doug Moench in 1993 — especially since they’re two of comics’ most prominent conservatives.
