Batman VS al Qaeda

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I've commented in other places on this one... and I have only one thing to say about it: {stomach-churn} >_<

Oh well, he's the goddamn Batman...

Blame my agent.

Once I've taken down Osama, I'm going to take down Frank Miller.

Because I can.
I'm Batman.

Now there's some future material for superdickery's propaganda extravaganza:

Though Batman is no stranger to the war effort:

I'm in two minds about this.

Point of fact is, if someone were to commit an attack on Gotham then Batman would take them down. Easy. But Batman comics lately have never taken the clear black-and-white good-and-evil path, and if that's lost here in a terrorists bad, Batman good kind of a way then I probably won't bother reading. The truth is I'm not after propaganda, I want to see something intelligent and challenging, and this doesn't sound like it.

Did anyone see that episode of Lost where it was Sayid's flashback and he had to try to convince his friend to be a suicide bomber? That's the kind of thing I'm talking about.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Didn't Frank Miller write Batman as a terrorist in his two Dark Knight mini-series?

Two things - One, a propaganda Batman comic can be good. I read one - forgot the title - which spokes out against land mines, and demonstrates how innocent people are still killed by it long after a war is over.

Second - Holy Terror, Batman? Jeez... and not even original There already WAS a Holy Terror Batman comic, an Elsewords story set in an protestant-ruled over-religious America (where Bruce is a priest :eek: )

The one that would have problems is Miller!

Miller's first 2 Batman stories were 2 of the best ever. The last 3 have been some of the worst. :(


Denyers cartoon sums it up perfectly
