"Batman vs. Al Qaeda! It might as well be Bin Laden vs. King Kong! Or
how about the sinister Al Qaeda mastermind up against a hungry Hannibal
Lecter! For all the good it's likely to do. Cheering on a fictional
character as he beats up fictionalized terrorists seems like a decadent
indulgence when real terrorists are killing real people in the real
world."


-Grant Morrison on Frank Miller's upcoming Holy Terror, Batman,
interviewed at Newsarama.

Does this mean GM doesn't like Marvel Comics? Cause they got their
start as Timely with superheroes beating up Nazis. At a time when real
people were being killed in the real world.

Which is of course what FM cited as his reason for doing this. Despite
the exceedingly shitty All-Star B&R, I'm keeping an open mind about
anything I haven't read yet (or at least read a reliable review of).
Surprising that Morrison would lash out at a fellow DC writer - perhaps
he's gettign possessive of Batman, or perhaps he thinks FM is losing
his grip with All-Star. Or maybe they've never liked each other. Could
be proefessional jealousy - as crummy as FM has been lately, Morrison
has nothing in his oeuvre on par with Miller's best work, at least in
terms of grabbing the public by the short hairs.
