Anti-Islam Right Takes On Batman, DC Comics

Mere days after the Council of Conservative Citizens launched a boycott of Marvel Comics’ movie ‘Thor’ for casting a black actor as a Norse God, anti-Islam conservatives are taking aim at Batman for recruiting an Algerian Muslim to help fight crime. Though the cases are strikingly similar, there’s one nefarious difference.

Conservative site The Astute Bloggers, which claims to expose the “left-wing agenda,” helped rally their troops against Batman earlier this week, when they mentioned a new story line in which the Dark Knight heads to France and recruits a Muslim man named Nightrunner to join the French outpost of his new Batman, Inc. conglomerate.

“I knew it was only going to get worse at DC Comics… Bruce Wayne recruits an Algerian Muslim living in France, in Clichy-Sous-Bois, where the Muslim riots grew out of in 2005,” writes Avi Green of the “Islamist” character, who’s featured in this month’s ‘Batman Annual’ and ‘Detective Comics Annual.’ “How about that. Bruce Wayne goes to France where he hires not a genuine French boy or girl with a real sense of justice, but rather, an ‘oppressed’ minority.”

Green continues, “One can only wonder if Bruce Wayne will go next to the Gaza Strip and recruit a Muslim who thinks him/herself oppressed… by the Israelis, and even to Sweden, where he’ll recruit a Muslim living in Malmö, which has long had troubles of its own with suburban jihadists.”

10. I love it when conservatives try to talk about comics

They dont realize that the comic book industry is super liberal so they see stuff like this and think that heir beliefs arent being fairly represented. Well they aren't, there are very few blatantly conservative heroes and the ones that are, are villains or greedy assholes. If conservatives saw half the stuff that I see on a weekly basis reading comics, they would lose their shit.

There was actually a comic earlier this year that had this Glenn Beck-like character "Todd Keller" who was this dumb-ass right-wing uber-militant talk show host that ended up having his career destroyed and the shit beat out of him by the end of the series. Every time an issue came out I expected Fox to pick up on it and turn it into a huge story, but they never did and I was always surprised about it.
