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.

I agree with you though that some of Miller's early works were great. It's just that I believe that Miller is not a Superman person.

Well, I'm more of a Superman person --mostly pre-Crisis and John Byrne runs, so I don't have anything against Batman be it Miller's or anyone else. The comics that I used to read were all mainly late Silver Age to Bronze Age Superman, JLA, Spider-Man, and a couple of others.

His early works are good, Year One is my favourite Batman.

Oh wow that's interesting, what's you're favourite Supermam story from pre crisis?
 
Miller has a hard time with any DC character not named Batman.

I loved Miller back in the day, but the man wasn't exactly versatile when it came to superheroes.
 
Year One was my favorite Batman until Earth One
 
Miller didn't say those things, just fyi. Loved the prequel comic, I can't wait to see Beastfleck in executioner mode
