Naturally, I haven’t seen it yet, but I have collected the poll results.

I haven’t seen it yet, but others have weighed in on the question “Who won?”

Update: Heh.

I haven’t seen it yet, but plan to get around to it today.

Poll Results

This is the guy who played the courageous Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars movies?!

It looks like he is becoming the Joker.

I’m just surprised he didn’t pull out this quote for describing Romney:

And still on the subject of Obama and Batman:

This summer’s much-anticipated Hollywood blockbuster, “The Dark Knight Rises,” is getting an unusual boost from Democrats and other foes of Mitt Romney who are eager to tie the Gotham crushing villain to the GOP presidential candidate. Their angle: the mask-wearing, “Venom” gas breathing bad guy has a name that sounds just like Romney’s former investment firm that President Obama has been blasting as a jobs killer.

“Bane” is the terrorist in the new movie who drives the caped crusader out of semi-retirement in the final Batman movie. Democrats, who believe they have Romney on the ropes over the president’s assault on his leadership at Bain Capital, said the comparisons are too rich to ignore.

“It has been observed that movies can reflect the national mood,” said Democratic advisor and former Clinton aide Christopher Lehane. “Whether it is spelled Bain and being put out by the Obama campaign or Bane and being out by Hollywood, the narratives are similar: a highly intelligent villain with offshore interests and a past both are seeking to cover up who had a powerful father and is set on pillaging society,” he added.

As the Friday release date has neared, liberal blogs were the first to connect Batman’s toughest foe with Romney’s firm. But now even some conservatives, concerned Romney isn’t fighting the Bain attacks hard enough, see a similarity in the epic DC Comics fight and the political campaign.

Conservative commentator Jed Babbin told Secrets, “Now we have the new Batman movie with super-villain Bane, the comic book bad guy who broke the Bat’s back. How long will it take for the Obama campaign to link the two, making Romney the man who will break the back of the economy? Romney can’t win if he’s constantly on the defensive,” he said.

Even GOP advisor Frank Luntz jumped into the fray. “Hollywood does it again,” he told Secrets. “[Romney] had to know all this was coming and he should have done a lot more to prepare for it.”

But conservative analyst Greg Muller doesn’t buy the connection or the Bain attacks. “Democrats are truly living in fantasy land if they think the Bain story is anything more than a little summertime blues for Romney,” he said. “The election will be a referendum on Obama socialism and the Obama economy. Wonder if the Batmobile was made in China.”

Democratic strategist Karl Frisch suggests a Romney comparison instead to Mr. Burns, the devilish nuclear power plant owner on the Simpsons. “The similarities are endless.”

Do the opposite of Obama.

Mitt Romney told evangelical Christians that he’ll do “the opposite” of what President Obama has done in dealing with Israel.

Asked about the president’s attitude towards Israel, the Republican presidential hopeful said: “Well, I think by in large you could just look at the things the president’s done and do the opposite.”

 Reminds me of this:

“I’m just hoping that whatever is in the White House next year is a Republican. I can’t bear to watch what’s happened to our great country. Everybody’s got their head in the sand. Everybody in the industry is like, ‘Oh, Obama’s doing such a great job…’ I don’t think so. Not from what I see.

“Looking at the Republican candidates, I’ve got to tell you, I was floored the other day to see that Mitt Romney’s five boys have a $100 million trust fund. Where does a guy make that much money? So there’s some questions there. And watching Newt Gingrich, I was pretty excited for a while, but now he’s just gone back to being that person that everybody said he was – that angry little man. I still like him, but I don’t think I’d vote for him.

“Ron Paul… you know, I heard somebody say he was like insecticide – 98 percent of it’s inert gases, but it’s the two percent that’s left that will kill you. What that means is that he’ll make total sense for a while, and then he’ll say something so way out that it negates everything else. I like the guy because he knows how to excite the youth of America and fill them in on some things. But when he says that we’re like the Taliban… I’m sorry, Congressman Paul, but I’m nothing like the Taliban.

“Earlier in the election, I was completely oblivious as to who Rick Santorum was, but when the dude went home to be with his daughter when she was sick, that was very commendable. Also, just watching how he hasn’t gotten into doing these horrible, horrible attack ads like Mitt Romney’s done against Newt Gingrich, and then the volume at which Newt has gone back at Romney… You know, I think Santorum has some presidential qualities, and I’m hoping that if it does come down to it, we’ll see a Republican in the White House… and that it’s Rick Santorum.”

Update: It’s not that surprising if you’ve been following Mustaine. This from 2005:

Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine: I love Israel One of America’s premiere heavy metal bands Megadeth will be performing in Israel next week when they headline the third annual Metalist Festival on June 22. The band’s founder and leader Dave Mustaine said that he is excited about returning to Israel for the third time – once with Megadeth ten years ago, and then on a private visit. “I love Israel – I’ve been back since the Cinerama show on a private visit with my wife and two children. We fell in love with the country and its people. In America, there’s a stigma that all of Israel is like Gaza. I know it’s different,” Mustaine told The Jerusalem Post. “Politically it’s very emotional and passionate, but I found the people warm and inviting – there’s not typical Israeli, that’s a stereotype – they’re from a lot of different backgrounds.”

And in case you’re wondering, he’s a Jew. Well, it’s complicated.

In other news, there are Republican palestinians.
