Batman Republican or Democrat

Bruce Wayne: Republican because he is a rich snob

Batman: Democrat because he cares about the well being of the people.

Please dont take what i type seriously!

 

Batman has always been apolitical to me. However, were I to examine the issue, I would suggest Batman is very much not a Republican, nor Democrat. His very nature as a grass-roots vigilante really removes him from either party by ideology. However, let's examine the views Batman has expressed over the years (in-continuity) against political affiliations:

Gun Rights: Batman has been depicted for numerous years as being a staunch anti-gun individual. In short, Batman hates guns and thinks they should be eliminated from the equation of our culture. Definitely a Democrat viewpoint.

Government interference: Batman has been shown infiltrating and expressing disdain for government operations, mostly in connection with law enforcement (FBI, etc.). Also, Batman's whole ideology represents a citizen's right to defend himself and pro-actively thwart crime. Very much a classical Republican viewpoint (recent Republican stances seem to go against this view)

Economy: Bruce Wayne has shown a remarkable philantropic attitude, giving to charities and welfare organizations over the years, as well as calling for government help in the rebuilding of Gotham after Cataclysm. Definitely a Democratic viewpoint.

Defense: Batman is definitely a supporter of the armed forces and enforcement of the protection of America. I would assume he would support a large spending of the budget on military protection. Republican.

There's more, but I have work to do

 

Batman/Bruce Wayne is a Democrat.

He cares for all, he knows the pain. The least he would want for America would be equal rights to all.

He's a democrat.

 

Oh, and Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Nightcrawler, and Hal Jordon/Green Lantern are democrats.

 

One analysis that I saw went like this:

Spider-man: Independent
Batman: Conservative
Superman: Liberal

 

Those aren't only Democatic principles anymore.

Anyway, I think he'd be Libertarian...ish.

 

Isn't the sentencing of criminals the responsibility of the courts, not Batman?

 

Not that it is in-continuity, but Bruce in Kingdom Come talked to Clark about Blackgate Prison being destroyed, and he said something along the line of, "Don't tell me it didn't give you a little tingle to hear that they'd all been killed..."

That is the only reference to anything close to the death penalty I have heard him say in the comics...

 

I'm not sure I want to know. I'm afraid one day I'll pick up a comic and Batman will call Poison Ivy a "tree-hugging liberal Commi!"

I'll be crestfallen.

 

I'm sad to say I think he's a Democrat for his stance on guns and that whole Robin in very short shorts thing.

 

Batman and Bruce Wayne both hate guns so much that there is absolutely no way they vote Republican. The way to fight guns goes through the democrats and Bruce knows that. As far as I know Bruce is also interested in protecting the environment which is certainly not an important Republican issue.

And wow wow, I refuse to believe Superman is Republican? Where did you read that?

 

He is smart.....(a Democrat)

 

I'd say he's most likely a Libretarian.

 

lets see, he fights criminals without *****ing and moaning about their "rights".
he supports the police (both as bruce and batman).
and he's smart

republican
(although i voted for problems with both because he doesn't strike me as a partisan yes monkey)

 

I like to think Bruce Wayne is an Independent voter. When you look at Batman's views on crime, money, big business, life, death, ect. He just seems like someone who has a common interest with each political party. He's a complex guy, you know.

 

I think and many of may agree with me on these but I don't think he is any of those Bruce Wayne doesn't seem like a voter type.

 

republicrat all the way.
