The song was originally intended to target the BNP, however, Lily Allen realized that it could be related to many people/groups. Here is a quote, from her MySpace blog:
"its just an idea , called "guess who batman ? " . my label wont let me put whole songs up till next week . .anyway heres one idea . i did the edit myself on garage band so sorry for the abrupt ending . this song is not a direct attack at anyone , it was origianally written about the BNP in the uk but then i felt this issue has become relevant pretty much everywhere , we are the youth , we can make coolness for our future , its up to us . go green and hate hate ."
You have to admit that with a name like "Guess Who Batman" and the initials coincidentally similar to Dubya's, it is somewhat peculiar. The artist is also very vocal about her opinions on the President, as well as her local government. The first verse seems to be more about the BNP, while the second appears to be more about GWB. Though, there are many lines that could have multiple meanings and relate to both.
