Comic-book legend Frank Miller has announced that his next book, Holy Terror, Batman!, is “a piece of propoganda” where Batman goes after al Qaeda:
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.”
It’s been a long time since heroes were used in comics as pure propaganda. As Miller reminded, “Superman punched out Hitler. So did Captain America. That’s one of the things they’re there for.”
That’s a refreshing change from the anti-war Superman that appeared a few years ago.
