I just don’t have high hopes that sending left-leaning loudmouth assholes onto Fox News is a winning strategy because the nature and format of the medium itself is damaging to credibility and rational discourse.

Let’s see, there’s Doctors Crane, Strange, and Quinn, but they’re staff; of course Bruce Wayne has been committed a few times, if we’re including homonyms we’ve got Mr. Fries, Victor Zsasz, Ra’z al Ghul, Oswald Cobblepot ususally uses his real name, and Carmine Falcone, off the top of my head. And I’m not really a comic books fan.

I get the feeling that there is a lot of projection in that comment.
