At least SOMEBODY'S trying to catch him: Batman to Battle Bin Laden
Batman to Battle Bin Laden

Move over, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze and the Riddler – Batman has a new villain to bring down: Osama bin Laden.

DC Comics’ Caped Crusader will square off against al-Qaida thugs in an upcoming graphic novel called "Holy Terror, Batman!”

The plot will have Gotham City attacked by terrorists, and Batman will set out to settle the score, the New York Post reports.

"It just seems silly to chase around the Riddler when you’ve got al-Qaida out there,” said Batman writer Frank Miller of his latest project.

1. You just watch, we'll have another "Mission Accomplished" speech
from Bush after he reads the Batman comic showing victory over bin Laden.

3. And complain about how Murphy Brown and rest of the liberal media never
cover any of the GOOD stories coming out of Gotham.

5. I just got an image
Of Bush dressed as Batman with Richard Bruce Cheney dressed as Robin.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go put a fork in my mind's eye.

6. Uhhh...Frank?
"It just seems silly to chase around the Riddler when you’ve got al-Qaida out there,”

Your protagonist is a man who dresses up as a bat.
No, not silly at all. Nope.

Geez, Miller. I thought you were smart.

7. Poor Batman!
Wait until he finds out that Wayne Industries and the military industrial complex are in cahoots with his enemies... He already knows that Lex-Corp is shady!
