Sure, it’s just a guy dressed up like The Joker. And sure, he really was a Romney supporter. But it’s an endorsement for the Republican ticket nonetheless. Really, who knew so many Comic-Con attendees were conservatives? Including that woman with no pants. And Wolverine.

Obviously the video is meant to be humorous, so part of the point was to show weirdos stating that they’ll be voting for McCain or, worse, Ron Paul. And to show the ditzy girls who can’t make up their mind — that zombie chick frightened me in so many ways, but it was the girl who quickly flipped her choice to agree with her friend that made me scared for the future.

Considering all the political subtext going on in comic book movies this summer, I wish there were some more thoughtful responses in this video. But not everyone can be as insightful as Michael Caine, who, according to Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan, pointed out that “Superman is the way America sees itself, but Batman is the way the world sees America.”

I’d like to see those Obama-as-Superman t-shirts reprinted so that on the back of the shirt, there’s also an image of Obama as Batman. Or McCain as Batman? I can’t decide what would make better sense.
