droogiedroogie2 said:The funny thing about him saying that it's "unabashed propaganda" is that he used to come across as very critical of the government with his Batman stuff, and often with Sin City as well. DKSA in particular had a lot to say about the U.S. government, and how evilly it would respond to an attack. As we know, the same week that DKSA was released, the government did, in fact, end up responding to a terrorist attack in much the same way Miller's book predicted that it would. Pre-911 Frank Miller is a guy who you wouldn't think would support the government of unashamed wiretaps, the USAPATRIOT Act, informational warfare, and preemptive strikes. Post-911 Frank Miller is a blindly nationalistic *****ebag.
I can only pray that this whole "unabashed propaganda" is a joke. That somehow this whole thing will end up being a satire of wartime propaganda. But I know that won't happen. **** you, Frank Miller. You have successfully ruined yourself. First All-Star Batman, then this crap. You better not **** up the new Sin City story you're writing for the new movie.

Fantasyartist said:I don't think this is a good idea, particularly with tesnions between the West and Islamic worlds running so high(Iraq, "blasphemous cartoons of Mohammed" et al).
True ,previous comic books had Captain America or Superman punching out Hitler, or other heroes taking on the Soviets(Iron Man, FF) during the Cold War, but those were secular nation states or ideologies(German Nazism, Soviet Communism et al) not a terror group widely seen as motivated by one of the world's three major faiths-in this case Islam. ( Even the PIRA was motivated by secular nationalism-not Catholicism per se).
Trust me, this is NOT a good idea!
Two Face said:So he's gonna take piss out of Bin Laden with 1940s Batman and we gonna have like 60s tv series? I don't like the campy at all.
CrimsonMist said:where did you get that idea?
think about it...forget the blatently obvious 60's pun in the title. Think about it.
Osama Bin Laden...muslim terrorists...HOLY TERROR....see where i'm going with this?
as for it being set in the 1940s, i dont think so.The STYLE might be very 40's like, becuase Miller always incorporates that noir-feel in his works. So it might LOOK 40's, but wont be set in the 40's...much like BATMAN'89.
