BATMAN

This little puppy is going to be available on DVD later this week...I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it already. It is an allegory of the war on terror with George Bush as Batman and the jihadis as the Joker. Even down to the scene of Batman standing on the wreckage of a bombed building it's phenomenal. It has the angst over whether to torture or not...it's got rendition...it even has the public turning against the hero and wanting to negotiate and appease the bad guy. Probably accidental on Hollywood's part, but make sure you see it and let me know.

Absolutely! Go buy this flick, it's the best movie to come out this year.
The bit at the end where Batman "Lives long enough to be come the villain" is the perfect commentary on GW's presidency.
