“Yea, though I walk through the valley…

“…of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for the Dark Knight is by my side.”

I normally would at least wag a finger there – it’s not unreasonable to find that at least a little rude – but it was in response to the Fred Phelps freaks showing up at a comic book convention, which means that context is going to come into play here.  Given that I’ve heard ordinary, decent Christians happily endorse the idea that a good curbstomping would be an excellent way to respond to the Phelps clan’s habit of protesting soldiers’ funerals, I think that we can forgive invoking the geek community’s invocation of Batman.

  1. Now all you need is a Skywalker with a sign that says “God hates Q” or something. If they would stand next to each other, I would pay to see that.

  2. See now, speaking as a Catholic, I can’t help but feel somewhat nostalgic for the manner in which in years past my church would have, ah…corrected the Phelps clan’s behavior. I’m specifically thinking of that branch of the Roman Curia now know as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
