Multiculti Superheroes?

What is the world coming to? Looks kind of like Jasmine, Aladdin. Truth, justice and the Islamic way, American style?

They are superheroes battling injustice and fighting evil the Islamic way, and they are teaming up with some of the west's biggest comic book icons. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are among those joining forces with The 99, who personify the 99 attributes of Allah, according to Islamic tradition.

What will unfold on the pages of the collaboration between DC Comics in the US and Teshkeel Comics in Kuwait is yet to be seen, but the appearance of The 99 – who already appear in comics in the Muslim world – alongside archetypal American heroes would have been unlikely during the Bush years. DC Comics' president and publisher, Paul Levitz, believes the cross-cultural project is unprecedented.

Could be just the thing in Iran. No more death to America. And you can see the women's faces, though there is a "burka-wearing Bettina the Hidden". But what to do about Wonder Woman?

And magic isn't allowed? Sorry Harry Potter.

But an improvement over the Hamas children's programs.
