"Holy Terror Batman" sounds like an action figure released during the early 90s...



Maybe it's a sign of how self-parodying the action figure market has become, but I can envisage this Batman figure; his cape moulded so that it resembles a pair of demonic wings while in one outstretched hand he holds a large gothic cross with a bat crucified on it.

The hardback graphic novel which inspired the figure would have been massively hyped and highly acclaimed upon its release. Years later all but the most diehard fans would admit that it was an overpriced, high-concept exercise in confusion with no discernable story. Of course a small number of fanboys would doggedly claim that it was the best thing to ever happen to Batman and would continue to lavish plaudits on its hack writer.
