Batman vs Bin Laden

Quick, turn the Bat-television to CNN for the latest Bat-coverage.

The legendary Dark Knight, Batman, is slated to take on terror mastermind Osama bin Laden in his next comic book outing. According to the BBC,

"Comic book artist Frank Miller is midway through writing Holy Terror, Batman, which sees Batman defending Gotham City from a terrorist attack."

Well, if the world's greatest superpower tries for four years and fails, you might as well send in a superhero to finish the job.
