There are dozens of valid and engaging interpretations of the character and his mythos, from Adam West doing the Batusi to Frank Miller's infamous God Damn Batman So, in putting together a column on Batman, I find that I'm picking some stories that are collectively recognized and some that are just personal favorites Everyone that[...]

The original version of The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson may end up inspiring the upcoming Batman/Superman movie from Warners. But today we have another version, a private commission from Frank Cho. I think FRank Cho prefers Batman… The original version of The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson may[...]

I now imagine he might also have approved of what my best friend at the time had brought with him, the leather-bound Complete Frank Miller Batman Logic points to his having received it that Christmas, but I'm not sure. If Secret Wars baffled me in 1984, seeing pages from 1986's The Dark Knight Returns, which I[...]

The Sin City sequel, previously working under the much-too-short Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, has had a title change, and is now officially Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Miller directed the film with Robert Rodriguez, co-write the screenplay, and oh yeah, wrote the comics on which the franchise is based[...]

It is one of my favourite time travel stories. Indeed, for me, it reinvented the idea of time travel in the same way that Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and, later, Steve Moffat's Continuity Errors would do. And what Frank Miller created, and Walt Simonson so wonderfully executed was a very entertainingly visual way of showing the[...]

Frank Miller puts a target on what makes Batman Batman and he hits center (bat-logoed) mass Batman: Year One has inspired and impacted everything Batman from more than 25 years of published comic books to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy But lest we forget, there's also David Mazzucchelli on art Mazzuchelli is comic book rock star[...]

The character was historically depicted as being crazy, and this was amplified considerably by Frank Miller's depiction of the character in his Dark Knight Returns comic series, which in turn informed Burton's treatment of the character (which thusly informed Jack Nicholson's approach to the character) The most memorable depiction of the Joker, however, was delivered[...]

Remember folks, out on Tuesday again… It does make me wonder more about that Frank Miller cover A dateline that suggests itself is that Frank was going to do an original piece, but negoitiations/timescales fell through, DC was forced to pull the cover solicitations, then realised that because this was after the Final Order Cut Off[...]

The much talked about and even parodied cover for Detective Comics #27 may have a longer backstory than we first knew. According to Brandon Montclare, the former editor of All-Star Batman And Robin, The Boy Wonder… the piece was original drawn for that series but they never had a chance to use it. Frank Miller's cover to Detective 27!  It's cool[...]

This is the cover... This is Richard Pace's version... This is my version... There are probably plenty more to come...

First it was to be a double page spread in Detective Comics #27 by legendary Batman creator Frank Miller. Then it was a variant cover. Then that cover was cancelled over what seems to have been negotiation over pay rates for its promotion from internal page artwork to cover artwork. There were complaints that this severely interfered with[...]

The top advanced reordered comic for last week… suddenly no longer existed. Detective Comics #27 Cover B used to be the Frank Miller cover But then DC Comics cancelled the cover So the entire order for that separately-ordered variant has gone… poof!

Originally it was going to be a two page spread for the comic. Then we were told he was contributing a variant cover to the comic. And now DC Comics has

ICv2 reports that Xerxes, Frank Miller's sequel to 300, has not progressed since the complete two issues that Miller had handed in to Dark Horse in early 2011.

In the first issue of Three by Kieron Gillen and Ryan Kelly, Gillen talked about how it was a reaction to Frank Miller's 300, after he got very angry with the book and the moral implications of the things it both missed out and added, including slave suppression and slave hunting that the society was[...]

Just announced by John Rood at NYCC, Detective Comics #27 next year, reflecting the first comic featuring the character, will be a big extra sized issue, and amongst other creators, will have Frank Miller returning to Batman. Miller, whose significant Batman work included Year One and The Dark Knight Returns, is considered the modern reinventor of[...]

In today's Jupiter's Legacy, it's time for the Utopian to face up to the children. But is it Millar Time... or is it Miller Time? Well, first it's JMS

Up for Robin, a Superman/Batman script called Batman Vs Superman, and based on the The Dark Knight Falls chapter of The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman fights Superman, crediting Frank Miller and Klaus Janson… In which Robin was a young woman called Carrie Kelley Hmm. Unless of course, as he tweeted hours before… Off to do something funny[...]

And it's one inspired by Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli's Batman: Year One He's a bit like Scott Snyder in that respect. How literally? Well here's the scene… And this is how it plays out in Kick Ass' head. Man, I really think Frank Miller should have got a writing credit for this issue. But someone who wouldn't is[...]

Robocop was great not just for the old school Frank Miller script, but damn that was some good art! And SAGA had its first t-shirt. Hickman gave us the final prelude before next week's insane INFINITY #1 Superior Spider-man continues to be a favorite of mine I love how SpOck treats Peter's villains so poorly Superior[...]

In May 2011, market watchers were stunned when a Dark Knight Returns interior splash by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson sold for $448,125 Even in that new market reality, they were stunned again when Todd McFarlane's cover for Amazing Spider-Man #328 sold for $657,250 in July 2012.
