In an interview with the L.A. Times, Frank Miller says that his long-rumored graphic novel pitting Batman against al-Qaeda is no more. Miller has been talking about the idea since 2006 under the title Holy Terror, Batman! (or Holy War, Batman!) and vacillating between whether he would pursue the idea of a comic-book character embarking on a “blood quest” against Islamic terrorists as a Batman story or with some wholly new creation. Now Miller seems to have made up his mind, telling the LAT that the newly rechristened Holy Terror will instead feature a protagonist known as The Fixer, a Dirty Harry-like former special ops agent who finds a new purpose for his training when his city is attacked. And unlike Batman, The Fixer is “not a tortured soul”: “He's a much more well-adjusted creature, even though he happens to shoot 100 people in the course of the story.”
