INTJ 3w4 Sx/Sp is my best guess based on what I've read about (elegant, great with words, suave, womanizing)
He was more anti-bush than pro-kerry or pro-obama really. And his idea are very libertarian, in Serenity, for example, the heroes are authentic libertarians (same for scooby gang and Angel's team) and the enemy is not a capitalist system, but a welfare state.
Batman INTJ 8w7 Sp/Sx
This also seems a bit odd to me. I won't say it's flat out wrong, but Batman's type and his politics seem to leave room for a lot of debate. He's obviously pretty anti-crime (and, it seems, not super keen on the death penalty) for sure, but other than that it's kinda harder to place. His parents seem to usually be portrayed as taking a very strong interest in the welfare and well-being of the poor, not a particularly Randian kind of billionaire,
but in fairness Bruce doesn't seem to actually do much to run his company. The dude is kinda crazy, and guessing his political stance on welfare or environmentalism or corporate regulation or anything that doesn't directly involve crime is gonna be at least a little bit of a shot in the dark.
Oh, and he's very, very, VERY anti-gun. That's not too libertarian.
Libertarians are not necessarly randian, liberatarians can totally be active philantropists, but I never seen Bruce Wayne defend the spoliation of the citizen's property by the welfare state. In the animated serie, Batman demonstrate an ability to applies a radical libertarian form of justice, for example, when Clayface steals a molecule to Wayne Enterprise, which could help him to deal with his horrible ill, Batman doesn't hesitate to stop the process while Clayface is about to, at least temporarly, becom Matt Hagen again. That's a radical opposition to steal and defense of private property, while the concept of welfare state agrees that we can use the force to steal a rare ressource in order to cure someone.
Bruce Wayne is actually what we can call a free-market environmentalist. Like Ron Paul or many others libertarians. His defense of environment is strictly based on private ethic, private property and private enterprize. And he is radically opposesd to the agressives ecologists that are Ra's al Ghul, Catwoman and Poison Ivy, who are the true socialists.

Friedrich Hayek - INTP
Milton Friedman - ENTP
Adam Smith - INTP
Ludwig von Mises -INTJ
Ayn Rand - INTJ
David Ricardo- INTP
Thomas Sowell is an INTJ.I have to confess that the list of prominent libertarians that has emerged so far is not very appealing. This is a list I myself find more appealing, although they reveal my preferences, almost all of them free market type intellectuals:
-- F.A. von Hayek
-- Ludwig von Mises
-- Robert Lucas (?)
-- Thomas Sowell
-- Murray Rothbard
-- Milton Friedman
-- Bryan Caplan
-- Steve Horwitz
-- Henry Hazlitt
-- Peter Boettke
-- Anthony de Jasay
-- Frank Knight
