THR: How do you feel about Ben playing Batman?
Frank Miller: I only saw bits and pieces of footage, but he is fantastic. I did enjoy seeing his Batman punch that bald man, very much so.
Are these real?
Honestly, I stop reading comics by early 1980s and it wasn't until the mid-1990s that I started to check out some mostly in the shops while travelling. I was intrigued by the "Knightfall" series and that was when I came across some back issues of some Miller's Batman like The Dark Knight Return. The one thing that I immediately noticed was the tone of comics --these were catered to more adult market and Batman was becoming more like a borderline Punisher. And yes right from bat (sic) I detected Miller's madcap reverence of Batman.
I've said before Dark Knight is a great book, it really is. I just don't like some of Miller's writing and I hate his version of Superman. Although it works perfectly for that story. I just don't wanna see that version of Superman be an inspiration on any version (maybe a few minor things mind, the train scene and a few other bits are great). I don't mind certain elements of his Batman influencing verison of Batman because there are some great elements in there but even his Batman at times makes me cringe.
