Haha I loved that bit, it's obviously Batman's fault the americans got terrorised really
sad in fact.
anyone remember why superman came to the earth?
i'll remind you ...cos the best scientists on krypton had figured out the planet was dying.
so you'd expect superman to be saving our world from a similar fate but no ...he's just a copper catching people who steal money.
?
Back in the 40's and the golden age of comics heroes were around to save the day, liek fighting the Nazi's and then protecting Democracy from Communism. Now Frank Miller, "Mr depressing nightmare of the future cynic" is doing the same thing but with Islamic extremism!
Sadly...you would think Batman had better things to do.
Could hardly have our superheros putting their crime fighting skills to work scrutinising the plausible treasonous betrayal of America and the world by its own leaders and official agencies, now could we? That would fly in the face of their duties as servants of the establishment! :eek:
What will the Brits employ in their fight against Al Qaeda, the Great Evil of Terrorism - Wallace & Gromitt?
Could be interesting. Frank Millar is a bit handy with the old felt tips.
Common sense? We've not tried that yet.........
British comics has "Captain Britain" empowered by the magical island of Avalon to fight for us against terrorism.
It is nothing new for comics to stand by the establishment...but then again it is not unusual for comics to oppose the sytem and do the right thing. Depends on the artist and writers!
Tank girl would probably take out the Americans in response to a bit of friendly fire.
Judge Dredd would probably use it as an excuse to invade a couple of countries who were strategically important to the needs of Megacity1
Planetary would investigate, and Drums would find the info trail leading from Bin Laden to the white house, but Elijah would link it to the Four
It would have made sense for Marvel to it. They did do a special 9/11 issue afterall.
Why isn't Captain America going after Osama? If Frank Miller is writing this, then why isn't Daredevil going for it? I mean he is in jail at the moment, this could be his way out. He has to take out Osama to win his freedom!
Of course the natural Marvel guy for the job is the Punisher, he goes for cirminals more then terrorists mind but he would be the one most likely to do the job.
Yes I am a comic fan.
I just don't get why Batman is doing it. DC world isn't our world, Osama doesnt exist there.
It should be marvel heros going after him. I mean, 9/11 happened in their world!! Though that could have been the Ultimate world I am not sure.
and whats wrong with that :yeees:
Walace and Gromit would have Bin Laden ANY DAY!
Wealthy family? Check.
Crusade against people he thinks are evil? Check.
Strikes fear into people's hearts? Check.
Has a cave? Check.
Fancy car? I'm sure there is a Bin-mobile out there somewhere.
Utility belt? Check.
Ragingly camp sidekick? Possibly..........
Holy die infidels, die Batman!
so hes the binman then, stop mr bush you are looking in totally the wrong direction, he;s over here
no wait thats the guy who's in charge of hamas, working on the side cause israel stopped the tax contributions to palestine
George Clooney.
exactly
Who played Batman. The circle is complete.
