Just in eccentric you were worried there would n’t be enough crassness on the 10th day of remembrance of 9/11 , Frank Miller has start out you covered . His graphic novel Holy Terror , about a superhero who take down Al Qaeda , comes out Sept. 2011 .
The creator of Batman : Year One , Sin City and 300 originally planned to call this comic Holy Terror , Batman ! , and feature the Caped Crusader himself campaign the ultimate terrorist organization . And Batman was in the beginning going to square up off against Osama Bin Laden , but that ’s off the tabular array as well . Instead , a superhero called the Fixer will take on the Moslem terrorists . ( presumptively he ’s not called the Fixer because he reanimate their dishwashers and reconnects their cable TV after he kills them . )
The comedian is being published on Sept. 14 , 2011 , by Legendary Comics , an offshoot of Legendary Pictures . And if you go to theLegendary Comics site , you’re able to see an animated version of the above icon , in which the Fixer and his Arab combatant move as you sneak over them , although unhappily the tooth fly out of the Arab ’s back talk do n’t move separately .
Here ’s what Frank Miller said about this project at Comic Con in 2006 , fit in to the Guardian :
Superman punch out Hitler . So did Captain America . That ’s one of the thing they ’re there for … It is , not to put too fine a full stop on it , a piece of propaganda .
Last year , Miller explained his new eccentric , The Fixer , tothe L.A. Times Hero Complex Blog :
He ’s been trained as limited ops and when his city is attacked all of a sudden all the pieces shine into place and all this training arrive into play . He ’s been out there fighting criminal offence without really consume his heart in it – he does it to keep in shape , ” said Miller . “ It began as my reaction to 9/11 and it was an super angry slice of study and as the years have passed by I ’ve done motion-picture show and I ’ve done other thing and time has leave some good distance , so it becomes more of a cohesive account as it build . The Fixer has also become his own character in a manner I ’ve really enjoyed . No one will read this and think , ‘ Where ’s Batman ? ’ … My guy carry a couple of gun and is up against an experiential threat . He ’s not just up against a goofy villain . ignore an enemy that ’s committed to our annihilation is kind of zany . It just seems that dog the Riddler around seems silly liken to what ’s going on out there . I ’ve taken Batman as far as he can go .
He also say the Times that the Fixer is “ not a tortured soul ” in the style that Batman is , but rather he ’s a “ well - adjusted creature ” who happens to shoot 100 people .
