Abstract
- In this article the author discusses the 2006 announcement by Frank Miller, the author of the comic book "Sin City," that he will produce a comic in which Batman battles al-Qaeda. He examines the impact of comic super-heroes on the American collective consciousness, suggesting that somehow they represent victory when no such victory has occurred. The author suggests that Batman has embarked on a fight he cannot win.
