Miller or Morrison

[Fresh Prince]

Which one was better?

 

[The Joker]

Personally I like Morrison more. But Miller is great, too.

Morrision is a great writer and I love his stories but Frank Miller got me intrested in Batman/the first batman stories I ever read

Yeah he did to me too.

Miller= what pulled me into a 'darker knight' if you will. With Year One, DKR, etc
Morrison has also done some amazing things for ol' bats and he is a great storyteller (Batman #666 is one of my favorite single issues)

Miller


/thread

 

[theMan-Bat]

Definitely Miller.

Morrison (James)

No, seriously. Grant Morrison.

 

[TruerToTheCore]

I am not a big fan of them.

Both are often quite awful when they write superheroes (ASB, X-Men...).

There are a few exceptions (Year One, Daredevil, DKR, All Star Superman, prob. Batman & Robin).

Aside from this genre they have stuff like We3, Ronin.. that's stuff I like.

So... no... no decision from me.

My sentiments exactly. "Get outta my head Charles!" lol

 

[Motown Marvel]

morrison! easily. miller has done great things. but morrison has done many great things.

I despise Miller's Batman, and Morrison is a much better writer overall. However, to accept Batman RIP, I feel you have to accept Batman being a moron.

I'll take Denny O'Neil or Bill Finger, thank you very much.

where is the goddamn poll

 

[TheWrathOfGod]

Miller for all internets and purposes is the creator of Batman.

 

[CConn]

Morrison's prettier.

 

[Majic Walrus]

Miller for all internets and purposes is the creator of Batman.

Explain yourself.

 

[TheWrathOfGod]

Explain yourself.

Modern Batman comics, films, and the Dini cartoons all use Miller version of Batman.

Miller's Batman is:
-A Travis Bickle level crazy person.
-Batman is the real person, Bruce is the disguise.

Kane/Finger to O'Neal's Batman was a altogether more normal individual, who probably didn't obsessively write letters to his dead father.

After Infinite Crisis, Morrison reverted to Finger/Kane and O'Neal's Batman.

 

[Drz]

Eh even the modern incarnations of Batman show that Batman is the real person, Bruce Wayne is the disguise. -_-

Morrison's Batman is pretty crazy on a different level. The guy is a perfectionist level crazy who has the perfect physical body and pretty much the ultimate mental skills, even creating a secret personality for himself incase of a mental attack, the Batman of Zur en Arrh!

EDIT: God damn double posts. :<

 

[Nepenthes]

Denny O'Neil, Neil Adams and Bob Haney for all internets and purposes are the creators of Batman.

that's more like it

 

[The Batman]

Miller for all internets and purposes is the creator of Batman.

Even Miller himself would agree that this sentiment is full of ****

 

[The Batman]

1. Modern Batman comics are creating something new right now....and before that, dini and morrison were writing pretty much like the bronze age writers...

2. The films use very little Miller. The Burton films were more kane/finger, while the nolan films are more 70's style Batman with Jeph Loeb.

3. Completely wrong about the cartoon. TAS was essentially the 70's Batman animated.

Anyone who pays attention to Batman comics before Miller would know that the whole "Batman is the real identity" was ALWAYS in effect, even from the beginning.

 

[Fresh Prince]

I like 70s Batman comics better now. They my favorites. Nice that 70s Batman was down to earth person and not a crazy man who just hated life.

Agreed Morrison Bat comics suck and make no sense. Greyson a terrible Batman.

 

[GlasgowBat]

^oh shut up.

but yeah, Denny O'Neil, Paul Dini and jeph loeb ave, for me, done a lot of work on batman, the majority of it pretty darn great.

Morrison is very impressive as a writer, with a great level of imagination, but his ideas can sometimes get away from him. He is, however, consistently better than miller who, having done some masterpieces as a batman writer, has fallen down too many times to rank with the heavyweights.

(would like to point out that i adore all-star, and don't include it in miller's failings. it's at the opposite end of the spectrum from the adam west/burt ward show and, somewhere in the middle of those two memeorable and fun characterisations, lies the Dark Knight as i prefer him.)
