"Dark Knight Returns" Sequel In Talks with Miller & Snyder

[Nick Miller]

I think this sounds like a cool idea that fits both of these guys' stregnths. However, I think JRJR should do the artwork. An art style in the spirit of Miller's is needed here. Jim Lee and Andy Kubert are cool, but they don't fit. One reason among several why ASBR was disappointing was because Miller's writing and Lee's art had no chemistry.

its the juxtaposition of the art and the writing that makes ASBAR great.

its funny how some of these commenters are no where to be found, until a Frank Miller topic comes up, and they show up in droves to bash him, and why not lets Bash the top writer in comics Scott Snyder too, (too many words in his comic!, blah blah)

WHere are you in the 50 other Bat threads?

Wow, there's a lot of weird thinking going on in this thread.

For the moment however....

Brian Azzarello, John Romita Jr, Dave Gibbons And Klaus Janson Also Named On Dark Knight Three Project

Yeah.

Sounds like DKR fan-fiction, with Miller taking a glorified credit role.

Critics too, sadly.

Critics are just random people with opinions.

[Professor Moriarty]

I did not know of Frank Millers current condition.

Yeah.

Brian Azzarello should be a better co-writer, since Azzarello also prefers a more hardened Batman. I love the idea of Dave Gibbons, Klaus Janson and John Romita Jr working on this, since they've worked with Miller before.

Based on there being... contributors? How does any bat-comic post Detective 27 seem like anything but Batman fanfic, then?

The other bat-titles aren't writing sequential stories about old characters, mining old issues, with talent who've done Batman before.

Based on that hackneyed synopsis.

Frank Miller is dying, and it's a shame he's treated as the anti-christ these days despite being the most influential post-Bronze Age writer alongside Moore. My guess is he's trying to get one last project in before he passes.

True. I mean, looking at it this way, Batman stories written by Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and Neil Gaiman can be considered fanfic as well.

I don't know what he has, but it looks bad.



And he's only 57.

There was some ******* saying he was on heroin in a thread on the old forum...

...that person was me. I'm extremely sorry, Mr. Miller.

Here's hoping something something dope comes out of this, too.

This is really bittersweet. Sweet that could get to see frank Miller's final Dark knight story but bitter & sad because frank letting go of sole authorship of the DK series, something he has said he'd never do means it's over.

Whatever people may think of the stylistic shift in Frank's work over the years or his political views he has done more with comic book storytelling than most. While the story content of miller's work has become thinner over the years he uses the form to create a visceral experience for the reader like no one else has. He never compromised his artistic vision to fit in with the crowd.

Maybe Jim lee will draw the finished scripts Miller has left for the ASBAR series.

[Sans Simian]

Maybe Jim lee will draw the finished scripts Miller has left for the ASBAR series.

Yep, and hopefully before Miller passes. It would be nice to see that series come to a proper end.

And I wouldn't call Scott Snyder a top writer...maybe he was before the reboot but the main Batman book has been a boring mess since it started.
