Frank Miller
is a name you might be familiar with. He wrote the comic books that would spawn the movies 300, Sin City, several Batman titles, including the annoyingly omnipresent Batman: Year One
, and he had a very popular run on Daredevil, and even created the character of Elektra, the assassin with father issues. Miller was also the director on The Spirit
-- and has a small lynch mob after him for that, I'm sure.
So, Miller gets around.
Several years and a few lifetimes ago, Frank Miller said he wanted to write a graphic novel called "Holy Terror, Batman!" a play on a line from the 1960s Batman TV show with Adam West.
Miller has debuted his Holy Terror and ...
It doesn't have Batman.
Miller decided to work with a new hero, it wouldn't be a DC comics project, etc, etc.
On the one hand, I can understand that Frank Miller has had issues lately with DC. His All Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder
was, as I understand it, universally panned by reviewers, except for those who seem to want Frank Miller's baby. They weren't pretty, either way.
Miller's version: it was more Dirty Harry than Batman. It just didn't work with Batman.....
Really?
