Batman Vs Osama 

It doesn't quite have the same ring as Alien Vs Predator, but this story has popped up all over the news today. Briefly, the next issue of Batman will feature the caped one taking on the bearded one in a comic titled "Holy Terror, Batman." ABC News has more.
At the WonderCon 2006 comic-book convention in San Francisco last weekend, legendary comics writer and artist Frank Miller revealed that Batman would hunt down bin Laden and al Qaeda in his next DC Comics graphic novel. In "Holy Terror, Batman!" the Caped Crusader goes after the terror leader and his organization after Gotham City is attacked by terrorists. Though the graphic novel's title is a take on Robin the Boy Wonder's catchphrase, Miller said there was nothing campy about the story.
I know there's at least one ZS reader who is salivating at the prospect of a new Batman comic. You know who you are, and so do many other ZS readers :)
