Batman Vs. Bin Laden
« on: February 15, 2006, 04:03:31 AM »
If the US Military can't find someone who do you call?  Why Batman.  Frank Miller is writing a graphic novel where Terrorists attack Gotham and Bats decides that there are worse things out there then the Joker.

haha. Now -that's- a graphic novel I'd be very interested in. I think the title, in particular, is dead-on funny: "Holy Terror, Batman!" Genius.

Ditto.  I'm not much of a comic reader, but I think that one is a go.  And it's something everyone wants to see anyhow so it's prolly going to be rather popular (especially considering the Batman movie that just came out.)
Knowing the mysterious, the imaginary, seems to me as vital as breathing, for without it, how can we further our society?

That does sound promising, though if he brings politics (any politics) in it will automatically suck.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I'm not sure it sounds promising at all. The idea only brings dread to my mind. The terrorists should have remained Ra's al Ghul related.

I had a dream the other day that I was a superhero who kidnapped all the worst dictators in the world and put them in a high-security prison.

Wouldn't that only give them a chance to collaborate? Or do you think they'd finish each other off in a sort of celebrity dictator deathmatch?

I don't think they'd do a lot of collaborating. Plus, they're in prison without minions. What are they gonna do?
