Holy Coyote Robin - its time to buy some desert property! I can't get a good movie deal so maybe if I take over New mexico I can get revenge by ripping off production companies that love to film in NM!

Batman for Governor
First came the Terminator. Is Batman next?
Actor Val Kilmer may be the next action star-turned-governor, the Associated Press reports. Though he hasn't made an official decision, Kilmer, a New Mexico resident for more than two decades, told the AP that he's looking for ways to be "contributive" in the southwestern state.
"If that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I'll run," the registered Democrat said, who would replace Gov. Bill Richardson if elected. Richardson is term limited and can't run for reelection.
In addition to the Caped Crusader, Kilmer also appeared in the 1986 movie Top Gun and the 1991 Oliver Stone film The Doors.
But what is Batman's political leanings? To the left, it seems. He has only recently started to make political contributions and most of his money has gone to liberal consumer advocate Ralph Nader. He gave $4,600 to Nader's 2008 presidential campaign and $2,300 to favorite son Bill Richardson's presidential campaign, according to campaign data on the Center for Responsive Politics website. Nothing to Obama
