SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Bane: We are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people. Joker: Bane, Darling, good start, but you need something punchier. Maybe, "Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in, where a washed-up voice actor gets all of my press?" Bane: I...don't get it. Joker: Of course you don't. Bane: This moment is your moment. It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. Joker: All seventeen of you. Riddler: Riddle me this: What has two (inaugural) balls, one Dick (Cheney), and zero leadership or credibility?

NEW COMIC TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Trump's inauguration speech seems to have been plagiarized from a Batman villain. And he couldn't even pick one of the fun ones. My old friend Thudthwacker came up with the Joker's line up there about the voice actor. That took ten seconds of thought. See how much fun Trump could've had with the right villain?

Incidentally, Bane's outfit has so much crap on it. It made me think that creators should try to imagine, in a serious way, each character putting on whatever outfit they're wearing. Just imagine Bane getting up in the morning and buckling all that shit on, tightening all those straps, whatever. "Yeah, I'm gonna wear the wrist brace today. I've got carpal tunnel from typing up all my villainous plans on my villainous laptop running villainous Word 98 and shit."

And by the way, hardly anyone attended Trump's inauguration because he's an asshole.
