I've seen a lot of conspiracies involving Batman and the movies.

This might be one of the oldest batman type conspiracies.

Considering no internet at the time, and how little I assume people knew about the Skull & Bones, it's just weird.

No dooms day type stuff from this, just found it interesting.

The last line of the clip is interesting, "The Democratic way." Fabulous find. There's no way this is unintentional. The point, the rich are above the law but don't worry, they're working hard for justice and fairness.

It is very interesting. Especially because Batman is based around superheroes and supervillains. Skull and bones creates real life supervillains. The question is, where are the superheroes when you need them?

Hugh Hefner is Batman...

I know there was one Batman comic book called Court of Owls that covers how Gotham was founded by a Secret Society and that it became the real power behind Gotham.

That plot line is actually being carried through in the tv series "Gotham".

Oh my God! It all makes sense now. Who else would have the ancient secret knowledge to put shark repellent in a spray can? How could I have been so blind?

Good stuff there! Got me back into reading Batman.
Excellent reading for those of the ct mindset.

what does freemasonry have to do with Skull and Bones other than they are both fraternal organizations?
