How Batman is Like Bush (VIDEO)

I’m sure you all read the opinion piece last week by Andrew Klavan in the Wall Street Journal about what Bush and Batman have in common, especially when it comes to the new movie, The Dark Knight.

From Klavan’s piece:

Like W, Batman is vilified and despised for confronting terrorists in the only terms they understand. Like W, Batman sometimes has to push the boundaries of civil rights to deal with an emergency, certain that he will re-establish those boundaries when the emergency is past.

And like W, Batman understands that there is no moral equivalence between a free society — in which people sometimes make the wrong choices — and a criminal sect bent on destruction. The former must be cherished even in its moments of folly; the latter must be hounded to the gates of Hell.

Andrew Klavan appeared on Glenn Beck tonight and the two discussed the comparison. You can view the excellent interview here.
