The difference is that Frank Miller never knew how to write Batman. His popularity during his first run stemmed from how different his approach was compared to previous writers.

Cause he's the goddamn KRX!

I'm sorry... I need to take a shower...

Because this fruit platter needed a healthy dosage of salt.

:lolol

I thought The Dark Knight Returns was okay. I only saw the movies, but they were fine. I think "Chill of the Night!" captured the character of Batman a lot better, though.

The difference is that Frank Miller is fucking insane.

I'm pretty sure that is a really, really weak comparrison, as you could also apply that saying to any writer who does understand Batman and consistently writes him well and gets people excited when they return to the character.

Give this man a cigar.

It gets terrifying when you realise Batman is the charatcer Frank Miller writes best. When he gets his hands on Superman, Robin, Black Canary, or God forbid, Wonder Woman, the results are even worse.

Frank Miller is an atrocious writer, and has been for a while.

I think you get the point I was trying to make. That was just the first comparison that popped into my head.

Without delving into the politics of it, I already knew that. But I have heard good things about his run on Daredevil.

Really though, the main thing to take away from all this, is we have so far about thirty seconds of Gaim footage and lots of images of their costumes and that is as much as we have of the show.

For all we know a child could die in the opening ten seconds, or in the opening ten seconds an orange samurai teaches us our abcs, trying to make any opinion on this show at all right now on the nothing we have is worthless exercise.

That's probably because Marvel restrains him.

That's fair enough, but speculation is still fun.

That came off harsher than intended, I apologise.

I just mean like, look at this thread, we had like five on topic posts and have been talking about Frank Miller for the last twelve hours. That shows how much nothing we really have to discuss so far.

To be fair, the Frank Miller discussion was initially just used as a grain of salt.
