The parenthesis are part of the books title. Its a reference to Robin's "Holy ___, Batman!" line from the old 1960s show.--Kross^Talk 23:24, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

um...is it possible he was joking? Badgerpatrol 03:14, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Publication date

Where is the information on the publication date sourced from? As far as know, DC have yet to acknowledge this project. Hiding talk 12:17, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Please note, per the GFDL and Wikipedia policy on merging, that information from Holy Terror, Batman was merged here. Hiding talk 13:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is there a connection...

between this Batman: Holy Terror (ISBN 1563890186)? I just found the latter on Amazon while looking for information on this Holy Terror. I know the plots don't look especially similar, but the titles are awfully close...? --zenohockey 21:41, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

No, that's a very old work, possibly even 15 years old now, a prestige format comic that detailed an alternative version Batman's adventures in a Catholic dominated world, if my memory serves. Hiding Talk 19:06, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Does this actually exist?

I suspect this may have been a joke. Any information on this after the initial announcement? Morwen - Talk 08:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Looks like Miller talked about it more at Comic-Con International in San Diego. [1] --zenohockey 16:54, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

Unsurprisingly, there's been some criticism aimed at this - some from fans, but also this rather scathing comment from current Batman writer Grant Morrison. D'you think that's going to be worth a mention? --Mrph 09:33, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• I think it's too early to add a 'Criticism' section, since the article is about a yet-to-be released novel about which very little is known other than "Batman battles terrorists." Since 'Controversy' & 'Criticism' sections are prime targets for sneaking in POV and bias, I think we should hold off on it until the book is actually released and we can provide balance and sources.

[edit] Is the inspiration needed?

Well it's interesting I'll give you that, but hearing what Stan Lee thinks is absolutely useless. First off Stan Lee is a Marvel artist not one to associate with DC comics, he has nothing to do with Frank Miller, Batman, this comic or anything else.Kinglink 19:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Ummm... Stan Lee did Hush, as well All-Star Batman...probably more too...

Ummm, that was Jim Lee ChrisTheDude 15:13, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Name?

The Progress section says the book is now being cited as Batman vs. Al Qaeda. Is this a new title, to avoid confusion with the Holy Terror Elseworlds book? Or is it still confimed as Holy Terror Batman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.8.13.184 (talk) 04:46, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
