The latest addition in the Batman franchise couldn't have come at a worse time for Mitt Romney.

"Bane," the super villain in the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster, "The Dark Knight Rises," has become fodder for late-night comedians, like Jon Stewart, who likened the character to Romney's old venture capital firm, Bain Capital.

The company -- which Democrats have labeled a "jobs killer" -- "happens to bear the same name as the most frightening and current 'Batman' villain," Stewart joked during the "Daily Show" on Monday, before cutting to a clip of the terrorizing, mask-wearing "Bane" in a scene from the movie.

"He doesn't even sound human," Stewart quipped.

Democratic adviser and former Clinton aide Christopher Lehane also seized on the opportunity to liken the villain to Romney's company, telling the Washington Examiner that "It has been observed that movies can reflect the national mood."
