Animated version please, Miller on Script and character design.
Burton and Keaton to stay 100m away from everything regarding TDKR.
You are...

So does Bob Kane... what's your point?I can't stand anything about Frank Miller. He's a sellout, and thinks he's the god damn creator of Batman.
Maybe he can't stand Bob Kane either.So does Bob Kane... what's your point?
Good point.Maybe he can't stand Bob Kane either.
HATER!![]()
He directed nothing on screen, that was all Rodriguez. Rodriguez gave him director's credit because he was lifting almost all of the shots out of the comic directly, and he said that Miller was the "director" of drawing the comic. Sure, Miller was there every day, but he didn't really co-direct the movie. It's like how MSJ got Executive Producer credit for Eletrka. He had absolutely nothing to do with the project, but recieved the credit because he directed the Daredevil movie, which Electrka was a "sequel" to.Uh...you do realize that he was a co-director for Sin City, right?![]()

I know he co-directed it. And I'm sure Rodriquez just let him do whatever he wanted from his vast experience as a director. Whatever. If anything Miller just said what angle the picture in the comic book was and Rodriguez went from there.
If you know anything about Miller's work, then you can see how much it draws from CINEMA.Especially the early DD work and Sin City books.It's not inconcieveable that , hey, he may be pretty good at directing.Does it make him Francis Ford Coppola?No.
His art is crap.
Yeah Sin City is pretty atrocious.Get a clue.![]()
'Ooooooh let's do a Batman story in the future. I'm so creative.
Uhm yeah.Damn straight.Let's see.Not only did he give the character his balls back and turn him into the most popular character of the 80's,90's and today, but he also changed the face of the medium with that book.
I know more about Batman than Bob Kane. Come to think of it, I am Bob Kane. I should direct movies about my comics eventhough I said before that I would never EVER have my comics made into movies because that would make Frank Miller a sellout.
Sure.Based on the Hollywood game.If the work was going to be handled like Robocop 2 & 3 then no.But if done with integrity, then why not?And who says someone can't change their mind if they feel the material is being handled correctly?
Luckily for me, Bob Kane incarnate, I am not Frank Miller so I can make movies about Frank Miller comics. It would be yet another fan boy fantasy if Jim Lee directed the Wildcats movies. He drew it, that makes him worthy of the director chair.
Jim's artwork is anything but cinematic.So it's doubtful he knows as much about cinema as Miller.
Miller doesn't agree with anything BATMAN unless it's his interpretation.
Most good artists become possessive of the charcters they work on.Period.That doesn't negate the fact that he has openly stated that he loves the work that O'Neil/Adams, Sprang and Finger did on the character.
Did Miller run over your dog or something? I don't get the hate.I know he co-directed it. And I'm sure Rodriquez just let him do whatever he wanted from his vast experience as a director. Whatever. If anything Miller just said what angle the picture in the comic book was and Rodriguez went from there.
And just because he "co-directed" a movie, doesn't make him a good director. His art is crap. 'Ooooooh let's do a Batman story in the future. I'm so creative. I know more about Batman than Bob Kane.

Miller doesn't agree with anything BATMAN unless it's his interpretation. Because afterall he did invent the character.

I was thinking that too about Keaton. Hey Batattack, cool avvy and nice sig!I LOVED Sin City (both the comics and the movie) I can't wait for the second one. I think if Frank directed DKR that would be so awesome. We could have Keaton play old bats!

So Miller essentially was responsible for the camera angles, lighting, character placement, as well as character motivation as someone already mentioned.
Why does his artwork have any bearing on his ability as a director?
it still boggles my mind how you can be a fan of Batman, and not at least appreciate what the guy did with Batman: Year One.
The comic book artist to director transition isn't as unusual as you are making it out to sound. Dave McKean directed Mirror Mask after all, and I thought he did an amazing job with it. Personally, I think Jim Lee would make a horrible director, but that's because I find his storytelling abilities as an artist horrible. This, however, is Frank Miller's strongest asset as an artist in my opinion.
Unless of course we are talking about Bill Finger, Denny O'Neal, Steve Englehart, or Jeph Loeb. Frank Miller has openly said several times he enjoyed every one of these writers' takes on Batman.
So because he can draw art means he therefore set up the lighting rigs, put on the makeup for the actors, assembled the costumes etc?? Sorry, that's severely removing credit from Rodriguez to give to a comic book "artist".
yaeh ok.And Quentin tarantino was a punk video clerk who watched movies before he did Reservoir Dogs.How in the hell was he qualified to direct a movie![]()
It has nothing to do with his "ability" to be a director. Just a jab at his art. TDK/TDKR looks like a 3rd grader had a seizure on paper with crayons.

So I have to appreciate all things Batman in order to be a Batman fan? Where was that rule on the True Batman Fan Application?
You have tp at least make some esense when you type.You don't.
Do you see the irony yet? Your defending Miller while bashing Lee. Yet I can't do the same against Miller? True Batman Fan Rule #107: No one will bash a Batman artist. Rule #198: All comic artists, especially Batman, can be Film Directors w/o proper filming school techniques and theory.
Where was Tarantino's schooling?Video Archives??
