Right-wingers now yelling about Batman?

[Archae]

Yup. :eyes:

Remember how the white supremacists at Council of Conservative Citizens got their panties in a wad over the plan to have a black man portray a Norse god in the movie version of Thor?

Now we have right-wing nimrods getting into the act, all because DC Comics has created a Muslim version of the Batman:

The argument against Nightrunner, led by conservative blogger Warner Todd Huston, is based on the bigoted belief that a Muslim superhero is by definition an exercise in deceitful political correctness, and that Muslims are natively evil.

Introduced in this month's Detective Comics Annual #12 and Batman Annual #28, Nightrunner is a 22-year-old Algerian Muslim who's lived in Paris his entire life (it seems reasonable to assume he was born in France, but at the very least he was raised there). Born Billai Asseiah, the character is uncommonly adept at the highly YouTubeable gymnastic form known as parkour. That and Asseiah's sense of justice make him an ideal recruit for Bruce Wayne's new Batman, Inc. initiative, whereby he franchises Batmen to cities all over the world.

6. So the guy is in Europe and not the ME?

I see the problem here...someone please show the Council of Idiots where Europe is and maybe explain a little about a town called Paris...oh wait the French, right. The RWinger hate the French too. This is a lose, lose for Freepers. Maybe we can make RimJob into some kind of super-mutant and the muslim batman can kick his ass and arrest him for crimes against nature. :rofl:

7. Why didn't they get upset about this?

[flying rabbit]

14. He was a contributor to the MIC

the roadrunner was a liberal and Acme is owned by the Koch brothers.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. Actually, that's nearly canon, as per that Brendan fraser movie. -nt

[pintobean]

16. Great. You just ruined my Christmas.

Now I have to return all those cool Acme gifts.

[Goldom]

8. I'm not much into comics, so this is the first I've heard of...

..."Bruce Wayne's new Batman, Inc. initiative, whereby he franchises Batmen to cities all over the world."

Now THERE'S a business opportunity. C'mon, isn't the guy rich enough he could just donate Batmen? BatmEn? What the heck.

9. Please stay away from Green Lantern comics. You'll blow a gasket.

Hell, I nearly did.

A Batmen franchise is an elegant plot in comparison.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. So, Bruce Wayne shows himself as just another tool of the Capitalist Warmongers (tm), eh?... nt

[DCKit]

10. Does this mean their repressed homosexuality is no longer an issue?

But they want their objects of lust to be white and Xtian.

11. How about "The 99"?

http://www.the99.org/article-36-33-Articles-17,ckl

Islamic heroes embodying the 99 attributes of Muhammad.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. I'm following the JLA/99 miniseries. Fun, but standard as far as intercompany crossovers go.

The main villains are a guy that sure looks and acts a lot like Vandal Savage (name's Rughal) and Starro. (Drag over text to see spoilers.)

17. Yeah, well wait till they find out that Veronica and Betty were lesbians...

and Miss Grundy was transgender...


exploding pea-brains everywhere!!!
