Hmm so yes, this is what it’s come to: our national financial crisis was predicted by a comic book movie about a villain with a lumpy white sliced-up face. This mashup of George Bush’s sad address from last night and Heath Ledger’s bravura performance as an insane person with drymouth is dreadfully offensive to the beautiful legacy of The Joker, who would have suspended the filming of his movie in order to tend to the nation’s business in Washington DC. Also why isn’t Sarah Palin running around in a neoprene cat suit listing the regulatory accomplishments of her running mate? Fail. [YouTube]

Batman is in the tank for Harvey Dent. Also he’s in the tank for driving around in tanks.

We’ll never know. Video is already in the Memory Hole

Is the Joker using McCain’s make-up artist – Tifanie?

Hopey is addressing the Global Initiative on CNN live, right now, in NY. Isn’t that what Grampy was sticking around NYC to do, as well?

Obligatory “What are you, dense? Are you retarded or something? Who the hell do you think I am? I’m the goddamn Batman” post.

[re=107617]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: no, he was staying for letterman. oh.

[re=107621]Valerie[/re]: Ha! Well, Katie had better legs, so mission accomplished.

Oh wow, I clicked the Batman tag thinking there wouldn’t be much, there are so many Bruce Wayne-related posts you’d think this was a comic nerd blog

Godot September 25, 2008 at 10:45 am

Batman could defeat the economic collapse if he was given time to plan.

Carrie_Okie September 25, 2008 at 10:46 am

[re=107613]mattbolt[/re]: Dukakis was in the tank first!

medievalist September 25, 2008 at 10:46 am

Hmm… Sarah Palin in a Catwoman outfit… nah… Tina Fey in a Catwoman outfit, now you’re talking!

Valerie September 25, 2008 at 10:49 am

[re=107627]medievalist[/re]: pleeeeese make it so.

InsidiousTuna September 25, 2008 at 10:54 am

I am sooooooooooooo happy right now.

Inadequate Blackmail September 25, 2008 at 10:55 am

[re=107613]mattbolt[/re]: Ok, I really did laugh out loud at that one.

Anyone follow the link at the end? I didn’t. But I like to hope it leads to a site full of 16 year old wannabe cyberterrorists who think The Joker is awesome.

I’m not sure which is more impressive… that somebody found the time to do this, or the fact that the Joker looks competent by comparison to Dubya.

Actually, I just realized: Dubya’s the Riddler! He has shitty evil schemes, tells everyone what he’s doing before hand, speeks in cryptic, indecipherable verse…

Which would make Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi the Super Friends. And WALNUTS! would have to be Solomon Grundy.

[re=107627]medievalist[/re]: …proceed.

Whew! Good news. We’ll all be secure and protected:

So, the Joker is John McCain, and Barack Obama is…

The Batman?

blader September 25, 2008 at 11:04 am

That does it. I’m suspending operations today, and will join Capt. Sen. John McGrommits National Day of Economic Mourning.

Quacker September 25, 2008 at 11:05 am

[re=107627]medievalist[/re]: Michelle Pfeiffer has more native intelligence in her left nipple than Sarah Palin has in her entire family. She should run for VP. I’d be reassured.

franklyb September 25, 2008 at 11:06 am

[re=107638]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: I don’t like your insinuation that Barack Obama is some sort of “Dark Kinght”…

Serolf Divad September 25, 2008 at 11:10 am

[re=107627]medievalist[/re]:

Yeah but Palin could wear the Catwoman outfit while 7 months pregnant and you’d never know it. Let’s see Tina Fey try that!

medievalist September 25, 2008 at 11:13 am

[re=107644]Quacker[/re]: Hmmmm… Perhaps we could drop Biden and run “Obama/Michelle Pfeiffer’s Left Nipple ’08.”

medievalist September 25, 2008 at 11:14 am

[re=107647]Serolf Divad[/re]: Was Catwoman ever armed? Palin needs to be a comic book/movie supervillan who shoots things from helicopters.

Strictly for the Tardcore September 25, 2008 at 11:17 am

[re=107647]Serolf Divad[/re]: I would love to see her try that, personally. Fey’s hotter pregnant than 90% of women are not.

[re=107624]Godot[/re]: Man alive, but do I hate that argument. As far as Batman defeating the economic crisis: Bats can’t hit it, can’t find its weak spot, can’t use a store of lethal red kryptonite on it, can’t use Scarecrow’s fear gas to make it afraid of water, and Wayne Enterprises stock is selling at twenty cents a share.

Strictly for the Tardcore September 25, 2008 at 11:18 am

[re=107661]medievalist[/re]: We can dress her in a shitty red costume and call her “Deadshot”.

If any of you people get that joke, I should award you my screen name.

d4g33z September 25, 2008 at 12:44 pm

[re=107634]Inadequate Blackmail[/re]: 16 year old wannabee terrorists? That’s brilliant! How do I invest in that?

HollowBrain September 25, 2008 at 12:51 pm

What no pencil trick???

PoliTacky September 25, 2008 at 1:20 pm

Sarah Palin as Catwoman? Definitely not the Michelle Pfeiffer version, more like crazy Sean Young, off her meds, showing up at the Warner Bros. lot after the role’s already been cast in a homemade costume, gibbering like a baboon on PCP.

Miller September 25, 2008 at 1:43 pm

I think I would be more comfortable with a deranged, dayglo, painted up maniac running things for the next 4 years. But Hillary lost, so it’s goddamn Barack or goddamn McCain.

Thank you, I’ll be here all week.

[re=107853]HollowBrain[/re]:

Just imagine that the “pencil” is the federal government’s “penis.” The “Joker” is “George Bush” and he’s going to make it “disappear” by forcefully thrusting it into our collective rectum.

If you catch my drift.
