Well as a Uk Citizen, and a member of Her Majesty's Government I can say without hesitation or remorse that I wish you Americans a happy 4th of July.

Just a reminder: You now have 21 years of frivolity left until the grand 250 year colonial experiment comes to end and we reactivate our redcoated Ultra-Robotic-British-Supersoldiers to claim back that which is rightfully ours.

Please make sure you tidy up all the mainland and put all the tea back in the ships before we arrive this time.

Since this article touched upon both politics and American Independence, I'll add this: Americans fought an eight year war against the most powerful nation in the world, starving, ill-equiped, and naked, over far, far less than we put up with presently from our government.

Nice Article Frontman but I think your political overgeneralizations are about 10 years old. Updated political overgeneralizations:

Conservative: Brother Blood

A religious zealot who is 100% certain of his superiority over all others and determined to impose his own will over anyone who disagrees.

Liberal: Black Bolt

If allowed to speak, will destroy everything!

Kid Zemo

Ultimate Thor shouldve been mentioned in the liberals part ... but what can I say?

Frontman = DC ...

Also, happy 4th July for you guys ... I know how much it represents to you ...

Awesome article. And yes as much as I'd hate to agree about Ra's yeah he is a liberal isn't he. *sigh* Still is one of my all time favorite Bat villians. Now when we speak of Hawkman, which Hawkman are we talking about?

As to X-3 I can't belive they are letting that no talent actress come back. After she told them where to go, saying she didn't want to do any more silly cartoon based movies. Then hops over and begs to do Catwoman that she destroyed, I'm so happy Batman Begins made up for the horror film that was Catwoman. I like that we'll get to see Angel and Shadowcat. But, what they is rumor will be done to Mystique. *sigh* That is almost enough to make me start camping out for the "greatest" sequal ever Hulk 2. Which I might add I think makes the "Australian Film" aka the first Punisher film look like a work of art.

I gave up on Ultimates a long time ago. I've seen presidency's turn over in the time it takes them to finish one issue on that book.....

Hmm you know I wonder, would folks consider Batman a liberal or conservative?

I don't think Batman takes time out to vote.......

True, he probably dosen't. Neither dose Ra's though. *shrugs* Just a thought.

Ra's Al Ghul is certainly uberwealthy, but so are Batman and Green Arrow. Like Bruce and Ollie, Ra's has his fortune as a means to an end. Ra's doesn't live in palacial mansions with hundreds of servants at his becon call. Ra's spends his wealth on his plans to cleanse the Earth. His plans can't be executed out of his parent's basement. They need money, power and influence.

The same holds true for Batman. Could Bruce Wayne have become Batman if his parents weren't rich? I don't think so. He would have wound up in a foster home. No trips to exotic lands to learn the arts of illusion, combat and criminal investigation from the worlds greatest masters. No Batcave, no Batmobile, no kevlar body armor, etc... Ra's doesn't care about massing a fortune any more than Batman. Money is just another weapon in his arsenal.

Batman without wealth...

Poor, making up contingency plans, paranoid

Holy fleckin' carp, it's Dale Gribble

Well, I was thinking Nitewing (not to be confused with Nightwing), but that'll work too.

Or Frank Castle

I'd say Batman falls on the liberal side of conservative, i.e., right in the middle.


He's wealthy, so he must be evil--making him conservative.


He's adamantly opposed to the death penalty and he's crazy--making him liberal.
