Batman and Robin vs. No Child Left Behind

Earlier today a friend sent me a link to an article that relates the version of Batman found in The Dark Knight to our current president George W. Bush.

“There seems to me no question that the Batman film “The Dark Knight,” currently breaking every box office record in history, is at some level a paean of praise to the fortitude and moral courage that has been shown by George W. Bush in this time of terror and war. Like W, Batman is vilified and despised for confronting terrorists in the only terms they understand. Like W, Batman sometimes has to push the boundaries of civil rights to deal with an emergency, certain that he will re-establish those boundaries when the emergency is past.”

I didn’t really want to start a debate on politics, especially one that compares Batman to George W. Bush…

…but it made me wonder if the next movie is based off of Frank Miller’s All Star Batman and Robin and focused on Robin, would it be compared to Bush’s No Child Left Behind act?
