<b>The Speech</b> Donald Trump addressed America for the first time as the 45th President of the United States. During his address, the Internet was quick to point out that his remarks were similar to Batman villain Bane. "Today's ceremony, however, has a very special meaning because today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people," he said. In the 2012 movie <i>The Dark Knight Rises</i>, Tom Hardy's character said: "We take Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity. And we give it back to you, the people." Photo: Getty Images
