Sen. Patrick Leahy, the veteran Democratic lawmaker who told reporters Monday he will not seek re-election in Vermont, holds impressive distinctions. Leahy went on to appear in "Batman & Robin" (1997), "The Dark Knight" (2008), "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012) and "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016). "The Dark Knight" gave Leahy his juiciest role outside Capitol Hill — as well as his most cherished Batman cameo, according to David Carle, Leahy's press secretary. "He scared the heck out of me, when he came at me with the knife," Leahy told the political publication Roll Call. "I have too many other things going on with Covid, with appropriation bills," Leahy told the newspaper in August 2020.
