Amy Nasir sent me this delightful story about a new Batman graphic novel by Frank Miller in the works where Batman is battling Al-Queda terrorists in Gotham.
The driving force behind the work, [Frank] Miller said, was “an explosion from my gut reaction of what’s happening now.”Holy Terror is “a reminder to people who seem to have forgotten who we’re up against,” he said in remarks posted on the entertainment website, IGN.com.
…
“Superman punched out Hitler. So did Captain America. That’s one of the things they’re there for,” [Miller] said.
“These are our folk heroes,” he added. “It just seems silly to chase around the Riddler when you’ve got Al-Qaeda out there.”
Excellent!
