Batman To Battle Al Qaida
Caped crusader Batman is to turn his attentions to crushing a new organisation determined to wreck Gotham City �the Al Qaida.

That�s right! Batman will be trying to battle Osama Bin Laden's organisation in a new novel called �Holy Terror, Batman!�  by writer Frank Miller.

Speaking at a comic book convention in San Francisco Miller said: "It is, not to put too fine a point on it, a piece of propaganda,"

"Batman versus al Qaida's,"

Miller said that the new comic was "an explosion from my gut reaction of what's happening now" and "a reminder to people who seem to have forgotten who we're up against".

Crikey!

He added on entertainment website ign.com: "It just seems silly to chase around the Riddler when you've got al Qaida out there,"
"Superman punched out Hitler. So did Captain America. That's one of the things they're there for,"

According to the New York Post the new comic book will be out next year sometime�
