Here again, Holy Terror manages to evoke poetically while failing completely to represent reality. It’s rich that the dying girl’s final act, before blowing herself up, is to indulge in intoxicants, if only just a swig of beer — and from a strange man’s bottle too. Miller probably intends this to be evidence of her hypocrisy — one last, brief fling before eternal marriage to God. A tiny bit of alcoholic courage before explosive death.

Miller's work on Daredevil was characterized by darker themes and stories. This peaked when in #181 (April 1982) he had the assassin Bullseye kill Elektra, [26] and Daredevil subsequently attempt to kill him. Miller finished his Daredevil run with issue #191 (February 1983), which he cited in a winter 1983 interview as the issue he is most proud of; [20] by this time, he had transformed a second-tier character into one of Marvel's most popular. Additionally, Miller drew a short Batman Christmas story, "Wanted: Santa Claus – Dead or Alive", written by Dennis O'Neil for DC Special Series #21 (Spring 1980). [27] This was his first professional experience with a character with which, like Daredevil, he became closely associated. At Marvel, O'Neil and Miller collaborated on two issues of The Amazing Spider-Man Annual. The 1980 Annual featured a team-up with Doctor Strange [28] while the 1981 Annual showcased a meeting with the Punisher. [29] Holy Terror, Batman" redirects here.

Good Is Not Nice: The Fixer shows no compassion at all to any of the terrorists, shooting them, breaking their spines and blowing them up. Messianic Archetype: Superman, much more than usual. He's introduced seemingly dead in a Crucified Hero Shot, and just looking at him causes Bruce to mourn his loss and know that he was "our greatest hope", murdered as a threat to the state. Erdel's bullets even hit his side and bounce off in the same pattern as Christ's spear wounds, killing Dr. Erdel and saving a grateful Batman's life. Given the theological nature of the book, this is justified somewhat.This should immediately send up red flags, much like Holy Terror‘s opening quotation does. As Colin Smith has pointed out, Amina is the name of the prophet Mohammad’s mother. And despite Frank Miller’s claims to know nothing about Islam, this can be no coincidence. It’s a choice that reinforces the implication of that opening quotation: that this isn’t simply anti-Al-Qaeda propaganda but anti-Islamic propaganda. Moore described the worldwide anti-capitalism protests as “a completely justified howl of moral outrage” and said they had been “handled in a very intelligent, nonviolent way, which is probably another reason why Frank Miller would be less than pleased with it”. Bittersweet Ending: The terrorist plot is foiled, but the head of the cell had previously gloated that there will be other cells to carry on the jihad. Further, the final scene has Donegal reflecting on how traumatized the experience has left him.

[The Occupy movement] is a completely justified howl of moral outrage and it seems to be handled in a very intelligent, non-violent way, which is probably another reason why Frank Miller would be less than pleased with it.
