I'm willing to give Miller the benefit of the doubt now. I haven't even read issue 5 and from what I heard, I'm willing to bet that he just said "F**k it!" and decided to stop being serious and just go crazy with the damn book.
Hal didn't even get an introduction.
did anyone notice that green lantern didn't get a little blurb like all the other JLA members got?
Not the impression I got from reading his script in the special edition. What was that, two ****ing years ago, by now? Christ, I think it was. Because All-Star came out right around when I really got back into comics, which happened because of Batman Begins and Countdown to IC.I really don't think he was ever trying to be serious.
Too damn late. Five ****in' issues, and what the hell's happened? I feel a bit like Leaguer, repeating what everyone in the WORLD has already said, but it has to be stated. Nothing happens in the Millerverse, apparently, unless it's a dark, gritty future.CConn said:In any case, as a parody, it's hilarious. And the plot finally seems to be progressing a bit.
The reason you like this "new spin" on the JLA is because, as your username suggests, you are a Marvel fan. So you like heroes that aren't heroes and characters with too much moping and meaningful interaction to do, to ever get around to doing anything remotely interesting. This is NOT the ****ing Justice League, and those weren't Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern (although I must admit, he really nailed Plas in a way that literally nobody has since Jack Cole.) Superman acted like he was in The Authority. Wonder Woman acted like some surly herpetical ***** with a drinking problem. Green Lantern was just a little *****-slap-ee.Well, I thought this issue was a big turn around for this title. Actually felt like the plot is moving forward, and I love the new spin on the proto-JLA.
Oh, let's just hope for that, shall we? People need to remember that this title could DEFINITELY get dumber.Dark Spidey said:Plus that had to be Barbara Gordon who Batman rescued in that alley. Can totally see her becoming a groupie-like Batgirl.
Dude, it IS called All-Star Batman and Green Lantern, the Boy-Girl.It sucks that this features more Hal Jordan, emerald waiter, than Dick Grayson.

Were you actually trying to make a point to me with that post? Cause you really didn't.Not the impression I got from reading his script in the special edition.

I have that special edition with the script and it's not serious at all, it's all about having fun.Not the impression I got from reading his script in the special edition.

Miller intended it to be a parody.It seems that people are actually beginning to like this...
...which is not what Miller intended.
Miller intended it to be a parody.
We're enjoying it as a parody.
And since when did Joker copyright laughing? What, Batman isn't allowed to creepily laugh to scare the crap out of people? Sheesh. People and their freakin' high standards. "Dude, Batman isn't allowed to laugh. The JOKER laughs! DUH!" Haha. It sounds so juvenile.
