Romney has more in common with Batman than Bane

Earlier this week, my Washington Examiner colleague Paul Bedard created a stir when he reported that some Democrats were hoping that voters would make a connection between the villain in the new Batman movie and Mitt Romney.

“The Dark Knight Rises,” the final installment of Christopher Nolan’s epic Batman trilogy, features the villain Bane, whose name conveniently is pronounced the same way as Bain, the investment firm that Romney successfully led, which has been at the center of recent attacks from the Obama campaign.
