"Frank Miller's Batman Has New Enemy: Osama bin Laden
February 15, 2006
By Kimberly Maul
Comic-book writer and illustrator Frank Miller has announced that his next Batman graphic novel will pit the Caped Crusader against al-Qaeda international terrorist Osama bin Laden.
“Superman punched out Hitler. So did Captain America,” Miller said at the WonderCon 2006 convention in San Francisco. “It just seems silly to chase around the Riddler when you’ve got al-Qaeda out there."
Holy Terror, Batman! is scheduled for release by DC Comics sometime this year. In it, Miller said, “Batman kicks al-Qaeda’s ass.”
Miller, who revived the Batman Brand in 1987, helped launch the Batman film-adaptation franchise that began with Tim Burton’s Batman in 1989, starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. The most recent, last year’s Batman Begins, directed by Christopher Nolan, starred Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Liam Neeson.
Miller co-directed with Robert Rodriguez last year’s adaptation of his second installment in the Sin City series of graphic novels. It starred Jessica Alba, Brittany Murphy, Michael Madsen, Josh Hartnett, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis and Elijah Wood."
