#2 The first time there was an Islamist Batman, there were three Islamist Batmans, in the amazingly bizarre Pakistani movie "International Gorillay".

The Plot?

The great climax when Salman Rushdie is killed by the laser beam flying Korans.

#3 "Takes over"? Dude, the PC crowd always had comics. Frank Miller is about as far-right as you get, and he's usually a left-wing fascist with law-and-order issues - Giuliani on a bad hair day. And they didn't let Miller do his "Batman vs. al Queda" comic back in '01-'02 when he wanted to, and everybody was theoretically down on Islamic terror.

For all that, DC is usually the less-left-of-centre comics monolith. Marvel was like 80% commie-pinko even back in the Ditko days, and ever since he got screwed over by Lee, it's been all-left, all the time. To the point where they like to kill off or otherwise retire Captain America whenever there's a Republican in the White House.

#4 So the plot of the series is that Batman goes around the world, teaming up with masked vigilante types in different countries (England, France,Japan, Argentina) and one of them is a Muslim...Certainly seems like something worth getting agitated over.
