Superman and Batman to join forces with Islamic superheroes

Are not all those Nick Fury's you mention Alternate Universe versions of the character, which as you state earlier, is not what you are talking about?

The Nick Fury situation is a case of ONLY the re-engineer being propagated forward. Do you honestly expect the white Fury to ever appear in LA movies or TV shows after this?

You can put the blame for THAT squarely on the shoulders of David Hasslehoff.

For a shoe-string budget film on a (at the time) "off brand" network, I thought the film was pretty good.

And as for 'good Muslim heroes' cleaning house on Al-Q or the Taliban; why should they have to? The story can be about both sets of heroes fighting an alien invasion-it doesn't necessarily have to have them fight the great American bogeymen just so that an audience of mostly American comic book fanboys can see the heroes kick the butts of said bogeymen from here to Pluto.

1) Thousands of dead Americans tell me that Al-Q and the Taliban are more than "the boogeyman".

2) To ONLY portray Muslem metas as "heroes" is an implicit denial of reality. By most estimates, the extremist wahabbi element of Islam amounts to ~10% of the total Muslem population. By that percentage, at least 10 (9.9) of the "99" should be villains.

So by that standard, we can have super-villains who are members of most of those right-wing Christofacist morons that make up about 50% of the American population, and that also participate in terrorism in the next issue of the Avengers or in this team-up book, too...

The Purifiers in X-Men and its assorted spinoffs would fit that bill already.

So you consider all self-professing Christians to be "Christofacist"...interesting. Prove to me that ALL self-professing Christians are of the violent extreme...

Also Crusader (Thor villain), and the Watchdogs (Avengers villains). More recent allegedly Chrisitian villains include the Catholic Church itself vis a vis Magdalena (Top Cow) and multiple teams in the Image/Wildstorm universe. I posted a link back up thread to a site that examined the religious affiliations of "villains" in comics.

More like on the shoulders of the producer, writer, & director, not on Hasslehoff. Plus, Marvel should have adapted Nick Fury, Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D as a live-action show a long time ago (in the '70's & '80's) instead of wasting time trying to bring Spider-Man & the Hulk to TV when the SFX tech wasn't there to make it truly work.
