"...like so many grains of sand in his lone crusade against terror..."

Here's the text from the back of the box:

"Sweeping through the Sahara like a blast of hot sirocco wind, Desert Knight Batman cut a swath of justice through nomadic bands of criminals who preyed upon peaceful tribes. This imposing crimefighter scattered evil-doers to the wayside like so many grains of sand in his lone crusade against terror. Desert Knight Batman's unmatched power was known far and wide as he wielded whirling scimitar swords and even deadlier double battle axes that glinted like silver under the blazing desert sun."

Does anyone remember this action figure? I'm almost surprised they haven't re-released it as the special "War Against Terror Batman."

Surely he'll stand out against the desert in that black costume? Wouldn't he be better off with a yellow cossie?
"War Against Terror" Batman? Don't joke about it, I'm sure it's coming..

I'd've thought Superman would have been first in line... or maybe Captain America.

But yeah... the black costume... kind of like Ben Affleck's presumably squeaky leather Daredevil costume...

They never thunk it through.
