Frank Miller's Holy Terror
"Frank Miller - the iconic writer/artist of Sin City and 300 - brings you a no-holds-barred action thriller for the modern era. Join The Fixer, a brand new, hard-edged hero as he battles terror in the inaugural release from Legendary Comics: Frank Miller's Holy Terror -- coming September."
This started out life as Holy Terror, Batman!
Holy Terror is a graphic novel by Frank Miller scheduled to be released on the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. It was originally proposed as Holy Terror, Batman! in 2006 but is no longer a project associated with the Batman character or DC Comics. As originally announced, the plot revolved around Batman defending Gotham City from an attack by the Islamist terrorist group Al-Qaeda. According to Miller, the comic would be a "piece of propaganda" in which Batman "kicks Al-Qaeda's ass." The series has been described as "Batman vs. Al Qaeda".
Last year, Miller is quoted as explaining the character had grown into a Dirty Harry type, a new character of his own and not Batman. But one is forced to suspect DC had its reservations what with Superman's "liberal hand-wringing".
