1. Well you have to look at the batman story.

How is this for a interpretation. (note the Batman story is so deep their are many themes, and it does not even come close to applying to anyone in politics, neither does the Joker. They are archetypes that do not apply to simple comparisons. You could write many stories on those archetypes. )

But if you wanted an interpretation to match a metaphor. And to show how people can interpret anything as anything.

Batman is a billionaire industrialist that uses his wealth to fund a vigilante war for what he thinks is justice. But vigilantism is not justice, it forgets the ideas of why people have laws and it turns to him supporting anarchy. The story also leans into money is power, and from that perspective it leads Bruce to think he can break the law. He somehow thinks he knows more then hundreds of years of many people using both feeling and thinking to build laws for society.

The Joker believes in laughter and the better emotions, they just throw the accusations of violence at him because they try and smear him. That is a common thing vigilantes do. All that stuff about him being violent or a criminal are smears, he is trying to help people like the middle class and lower class, the ones not always cared about by the Bruce Wayne class. But since Bruce Wayne class has alot of the media, when they put the Joker on some of the movies, especially violent less thinking movies, they smear him and say he is bad.

Is it possible that one of the items on Batman's utility belt is a movie called Batman?

(Just a metaphor, I actually believe many rich people are mostly good people also. And the verse posted earlier in another thread works both ways.

-Proverbs 22:2
"Rich and poor have this in common: The LORD is the Maker of them all." )

4. The poster lies about Obama being socialist, but it's weird to call it racist

The Joker's face is red, white and black: The area around the eyes are black and the lips are red... "whiteface" is not an accurate representation of what was done.

And even if whiteface had been used... since when is "whiteface" considered a typical racial insult? It is blackface that is consider a racial insult, because people who use blackface are mocking the physical characteristics of black people.

I think the progressive movement suffers when it forces the race card in such manner. The poster must be attack for what it is: a false representation of Obama's ideology. He is no Socialist or Marxist.
