Fact From the Vapor of Nuance

  2. 2.

    Of course, Bane might Beyonce more as a Batman-like figure.

    Unfotunately, this caption was spoiled by poor wording: “Of course, Bane might Beyonce more as a Batman-like figure.” The rest of the slideshow was clever, though. I too was disappointed to have to find the full trailer on Facebook.
