The All New, All Star Batman & Robin Thread!

[Drunken Savior]

IMO every Frank Miller story that involves Batman is bad writing.

Even Year One?

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Right, thats it!

I've just finished another issue of B&R and its actually getting WORSE!
Time to ditch this stinker.

Read Year One and the first chapter (yes, only the first) of DKR. NOW.

(Or re-read. Doesn't matter. )

Heh heh..

I actually love the first two chapters of the Dark Knight Returns, but the rest... not so much. Year One is cool, but short.

In Frank Miller's world, ASB&R ditches YOU.

As much as I love Frank Miller's TDKR and Jim Lee's art the All-Star title is a piece of crap, already seven issues in and Dick Grayson is still held up in the Bat-Cave and we get no insight into the minds of Gotham's citizens or how they perceive this demented Batman and the Justice League are portrayed as pu$$ies whenever Wonder Woman is around.

Actually we do.The woman he saves from being raped clearly states how she feels.Black Canary is obviously inspired by him.As is young Barbra Gordon.

Frank Miller won a Scream award (which is viewers choice, btw) for All Star Batman. So it looks like the haters really are in the minority here, even if on this forum the inverse seems to be true.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

It's a pile of crap imo.
It's like Beavis and Butthead wrote it.

I think he won cause mainstream average joes know his name, not so much because of the quality of All Star. People who don't read comics, just assume because Sin City or 300 was so great that his comics must be too.

The thing is, even the haters buy the book. Frank Miller is laughing all the way to the goddamn bank.

exactly...people buy every issue, then come on here and talk about how much they hate it...here's an idea...dont buy it...like, I thought the new JLA book sucked, so I stopped reading it...I didnt come on here and whine about it every month..

That's a bit condescending don't you think? Couldn't it be that he won this award because people are enjoying the comic in precisely the way he intended them to?
Besides why would people who don't read comics vote anyway?

 

[Mee]

Because the Scream Awards isn't a comic specific awards show. It's on Spike TV, and I wouldn't think that ALL the viewers/voters are comic fans.

 

[David Rice]

Even Year One?

No, that is the only exception.

Your funny!

you dont have to vote in every category when you vote though.

 

[Mee]

Stop poking holes in my theory.

 

[Punch]

The holes in your theory were there from the beginning. No poking necessary!
