The Dark Knight Rises has an underlying political agenda.. according to Rush Limbaugh.

The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters this weekend but it’s not just a movie about the man behind the mask. The movie also has a political agenda, according to Rush Limbaugh.

The villain in this movie is named Bane, which is the name of the capital firm that Mitt Romney ran. Obama has been spotlighting Romney’s work with Bain capital in his campaign and Rush thinks that it wasn’t an accident that the villain in the movie has the same name. He says that people will now associate the word ‘Bain’ with being evil and that will influence their opinion when they listen to campaigns later this year.

But there’s a big hole in that theory since Bane has been a character in the Batman series since 1993. Christopher Nolan, the Dark Knight Rises director, dismissed Rush’s accusations, saying, “I’m not sure how to address something that bizarre, to be honest.  It’s a very peculiar comment to make.”
