Following Rush Limbaugh’s attempt to cry conspiracy over the idea that The Dark Knight Rises villain Bane was meant as a political jab at Mitt Romney’s ties to Bain Capital, comic book writer Chuck Dixon — who created the Bane character for DC’s 1993 series Knightfall — chimed in to set the record straight on the character’s origins. “Bane was created by me and Graham Nolan and we are lifelong conservatives and as far from left-wing mouthpieces as you are likely to find in comics,” he told ComicBook.com . “He’s far more akin to an Occupy Wall Street type if you’re looking to cast him politically. And if there ever was a Bruce Wayne running for the White House it would have to be Romney.” [ ComicBook.com via The Guardian ]
