Trump SpeechPresident Donald Trump’s new day for America turned into a "Dark Knight."
After he was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States on Friday, the Republican real estate mogul channeled the main villain from “The Dark Knight Rises” during his inaugural address.
“Today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring the power from Washington D.C. and giving it back to you, the people,” he told crowds in front of the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C.
Bane SpeechIn the third installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, the caped crusaders’ rival, Bane, pledged a similar power shift after freeing all the prisoners in Gotham City.
“We take Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity,” Bane shouts at Gotham’s worst criminals from atop a car, “and we give it back to you, the people.”
It’s not the first time Trump has been compared to comic book antagonists
“Star Wars” icon Mark Hamill has likened him to the Joker — another one of Batman’s rivals — and even read the President’s tweets in the character’s iconic voice. And “Walking Dead” stars Michael Cudlitz and Lennie James have previously compared the Trump to season seven and the graphic novel’s brutal bad guy, Negan.

What are you talking about Bane is freaking awesome especially when he was well written he was smart ruthless and decisive. I don't think Trump has the gravitas or intellect to be a good Bane.

The bane Speech was already a parody of speeches like his. Since the entire POINT of Banes speech was to give hope.

Good post, A+ overall, could use a little more salt though.
Trump must've seen The Dark Knight Rises on TBS over the weekend while writing his speech."I don't contemplate, I meditate, then off your fucking head" -Kendrick Lamar
"If you have no sauce, then you're lost. But, you can also get lost in the sauce."-Gucci Mane
"I'm too drunk to taste this chicken"-Colonel Sanders

He does have the hair though. Everybody knows a great dictator has to have a distinct hairstyle. Originally Posted by Adolecent
