This is the worst idea DC has had in a long, long time.

Yeah, but sometimes they hit a home run. The 9-11 graphic novel collections are going to be passed down through generations in my family.

You just KNOW Spiderman is a conservative.

Yet another reason Marvel will always be better than DC.

Batman is a successful business man trust fund brat.

Fixed that for you...

I used to buy Superman every week for years. All of them. The Man of Steel, Superman, Action Comics, Adventures of Superman, etc. Anything with Superman including all the cross-over issues.

But then they had to get into politics and make ultimate bad guy, Lex Luthor, a Republican and Democraps the good guys. So I quit buying.

[Disciplinemisanthropy]

thats odd, why would batman worry abou....ooooooh.

[paudio]

Superman is more likely to be a Republican. His motto was “truth, justice and the American way” (before they changed into something else). Meanwhile, the billionaire Bruce Wayne (Batman) who seems to feel torn and guilty-ridden all the time sounds like a Dim to me.

Holly Molly! You don't recognize Captain Marvel? :-)

LOL!

Prrof that Superman is a Democrat:

Your money isn't yours, it's his to redistribute!

And look at how he'll do anything to advance his crazy global warming crisis-mongering:

He's a disciple of the Larry Flynt school of stifling his critics:

He wants to control every aspect of our lives, because he knows what's best for us! First he banned trans-fats, next this:

And finally, his own memoirs make it clear that he's a dem! Look at those chapter titles!:

Just another way to indoctrinate our kids. I’m a bit sad most posters here are making light of this propaganda move by the liberals. It’s truly insidious — drip, drip, drip...

[Luke21]

You know this election is bad when they have to use superheroes to boost interest.

Since we are talking about the forays into Geekdom(though I love comic books, the movies and videogames), I would think that the Berserker, the Cleric and the Dwarf would vote for McCain. The Elf might have gone for Kucinich but who would the Dungeon Master go for?

"Batman on the other hand is 100% real..."

So, you know him personally and can get his autograph?!

FWIW, Batscribe Denny O'Neil said he thought Batman was a Republican who voted for Reagan.

I am sure, however, that Brother Power The Geek is a member of the Green party!
