| Have to say the Frank Miller is about the last person I'd hoped to see helming All-Star B&R, or perhaps more accurately, he was exactly who I was afraid of seeing on the book. I was really hoping for something a little more, you know, fun. More fun, that is, than the 1.5 decades of angsty faux-Miller Bat-comics we've been subjected to since his first couple of runs on the character. Not that his work was bad by any means, but since then the monthly books have been just endless attempts to recreate it in various forms, and since most of Miller's imitators lack his actual writing talent, the result is more charicature than character--Batman's so angry you wonder how the blood vessels in his temples remain intact, he has NO healthy relationships despite having like a dozen assistants, every passing shadow sends him into PTSD flashback mode, etc. It's all become very tedious and repetitive, and Miller returning to do the "definitive", "classic" version means it's only going to continue that way. |
