Batman Kicks Al Qaeda "Butt"!

During World War 2, comic book creators mobilized our favorites heroes to fight the Axis menace. Such patriotism has been lacking in one of my favorite hobbies for decades, but looks like famed comic artist Frank Miller will remedy this in part:

Once again, Miller returns to the world of the Batman, this time with Holy Terror, Batman!. Though the title plays with Robin's classic catchphrase, the book deals with a serious subject. Gotham has been attacked by Al Qaeda and Batman sets out to defend the city he loves.

...The reason for this work, Miller said, was "an explosion from my gut reaction of what's happening now." He can't stand entertainers who lack the moxie of their '40s counterparts who stood up to Hitler. Holy Terror is "a reminder to people who seem to have forgotten who we're up against."

..."These are our folk heroes," Miller said. "It just seems silly to chase around the Riddler when you've got Al Qaeda out there."

I'm reserving my copy now! Tip to Michelle Malkin.
