Hackman's Luthor is far too smart and self-aware to be considered a Trump proxy.

The Joker is clearly crazy rather than lucidly calculating, as he is in TDK, so it makes sense here that he'd be susceptible to Vicki's attempts to flatter his oversized ego.

I think Bruce figures that someone (most likely The Joker) is planning a trap for Vicki, so he decides to visit the museum in his Batman guise. As for blowing up Axis Chemicals, I guess the logic is to prevent The Joker formulating and flooding the market with anymore toxic products, just in case he somehow fails to…

To his credit, he did support Obama in 2008. So his last political act on earth was a liberal one.

Don't worry Bud. I think Bill Maher has called everyone in the entire country a dumbass at one stage or another.

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel - Samuel Johnson

You make many intelligent points, but this entire argument derived from sweeping anti-British statements which I simply countered by highlighting your own country's ills. And yes, as someone who marched against the 2003 Iraq War and was involved in the Stop the War coalition, I resent the longterm damage (still being…

You sound like a jingoistic xenophobe to me. Are you sure you're not a Trump supporter? ;)

Sure, because LBJ is the poster boy for liberal interventionism.

Never voted for the guy.

Take responsibility? I marched against those frickin wars along with two thousand other Brits. But what else could I do to stop them? Vote Tory?!? Those knuts were even more for the war than Labour.

If the Amanda Knox case should teach you anything, it should teach you not to believe anything you read in the tabloids.

Yes, 'dragged'. Do you think the UK would have unilaterally involved itself in Iraq and Afghanistan if Bush hadn't coerced Blair to support him? Those two wars were anathema to everything the Labour Party and its members represented, and thanks to Dubya the Labour Party has been tarnished and destroyed for years. …

No way are our political leaders, as awful as they are, more right-wing than Trump, Dubya and Reagan. Your Democratic Party is further to the political right than our Conservative Party.

Please…our political leaders aren't paragons of virtue but none of them have publicly called women'pigs'.

No we don't, and those rare and shameful examples of child exploitation that do occur are nothing comparable to the full scale mini-industry child 'beauty pageants' are in the US.

I think young women, of any nationality, are often prone you demonisation by the press whenever they seemingly transgress what we deem the 'correct' standards of behaviour for a young woman. Plus, and more understandably, one case involved the death of a baby, the other case involved the death of an innocent female…

Your music videos, movies and magazines are full of 'boobs'. And at least we don't sexualise infants with child 'beauty contests'. I am not a fan of the UK press, especially so-called 'Page 3', but at least these adult women make a choice to pose nude. These five-year-olds don't choose to appear in full makeup and…

The UK, like practically every country in the world, has its issues with sexism. But I'm not sure if it should be taking lesson a from the US on the matter, especially since we've had two female Prime Ministers whereas Hillary, the most experienced candidate for the Presidency in US history, is currently running…

Not sure what's so funny about a 21-year-old girl being brutally murdered.
