Awesome Photoshop of the 2012 Presidential Candidates as Batman Villains

Awesome Photoshop of the 2012 Presidential Candidates as Batman Villains

A Ron Paul supporter with some skills with Photoshop has created this amazing image of Mitt Romney as Two-Face, Obama as The Joker, Newt Gingrich as The Penguin, and Rick Santorum as The Riddler.

These great pieces of fan art were posted on the Ron Paul forum tonight and I had to share them. In a lot of ways the depiction of Ron Paul as Batman fighting evil villains like Two-Face and The Joker are sadly more accurate than most people care to think about.

To his supporters, Ron Paul has been the symbol of true liberty and speaker of truth, not like what dribbles out of the mouths of most other politicians like so much filler. The artist obviously sees Ron Paul as someone who battles a corrupt government and a bias media much like Batman battling the ills of Gotham. And like Batman, Ron Paul is seen as incorruptible, a symbol of hope. Of course, Paul has his detractors. A lot of people think he is unelectable because of his stance on the legalization of drugs and an isolationist foreign policy that dismisses Iran's attempts at gaining nuclear weapons. Would Batman put up with Ahmadinejad? Probably not.

On a political note, can someone please explain to me exactly what Ron Paul has accomplished during his time in office? He's SAID a lot of things, but has he ever really done anything other than being re-elected a bunch of times. I just don't get the Paul-bots.

Seriously, with the white face on Obama still? We've seen the Obama Joker portrayal before and it wasn't in a flattering way for the person who did it. They should have taken a clue from that and made him a different villain. Besides, Paul would be more suited for the Joker given the Joker's Randian philosophical outlook plus being insane.

Great Article! Love every bit of it.. and fully agree about Dr. Paul's constant uphill battle

Dont worry about the haters.. some people can't think logically or stray from the pack so they have to immediately call him 'insane' and shrug off the fact that he's the ONLY candidate that will save america

Um...no. None of this. None of them. None of that. They're all terrible, on one foundation or another (even our Mr. President). To celebrate them in a fashion that puts them so close to something I love, comic books, offends me.

AWESOME! I love it

BTW, for all you people gripping about how CBM is infusing politics with comics then I say get a life! If you come to this website to escape life and don't want to be bombarded with politics, I say you've got much bigger problems, so take a long look in the mirror and see what you can do to fix it.

@santoanderson- Ron Paul is the only candidate who is really defending our civil liberties. He doesn't just blindly side with his party, he sides with his FEELINGS. And plus he aint some damn flip-flopper like most candidates. For the most part, Ron Paul has remained fairly stable with his views. He tends to lose in elections because he is viewed as weaker and even on the John Stewert show they mentioned how Ron Paul is usually IGNORED by the media in favor of every other GOP candidate BUT him. Ron Paul is the underdog. He IS Batman.

Btw- I LOVE the first pic, truly epic hahaha!!

To those interested here's the link to the John Stewert video about Ron Paul that I mentioned earlier

Really? Really? We have much bigger problems to worry about because all we simply want is an entertainment site, we love to escape to not mix with politics? Enjoy your revolution.

I don't trust a 76 year old behind the wheel, let alone being president of the country I live in.
