Will you be buying Dark Knight III: The Master Race?

[AUScowboy]

Yes, and it cannot come out soon enough.. the additions of B. Azzarello and Andy Kubert only sweeten the deal. If im remembering correctly, isnt Janson inking this (or parts of it?).

[Global Honored]

Yes and I've already pre-ordered the hardback edition for #1 issue. Between this and Europa, it's the most excited for Batbooks I have been since Morrison left.

[FanboyStranger]

Nope.
The All-Star Batman scars haven't healed yet.

I've often said that the problem with All-Star isn't Miller so much as Lee. Miller's telling a crazy, over-the-top story, and Lee draws it completely straight. If it had been illustrated by, say, Sergio Aragones, we'd be hailing it as a masterpiece. But Lee made it look like any other superhero comic, and it's not any other superhero comic.

I will be getting it with caution, I do not want to prejudge based off previous work but if its just another Crazy Batman story where Superman, Wonder Woman, and Dick Grayson (He dead so I assume he won't be around but they may mention him) are treated like trash then I will drop it.

[TheDarkNut]

TDKR and Year one are great. And All star is hilarious so why not?

Getting #1 to see if it's good or funny won't hurt me.

I'm not a fan of Jim Lee's by a long stretch, but I thought he did the work of his career on ASBAR. He managed to loosen up a bit and lose his usual stiffness. I'm not saying another artists wouldn't have been better, but I don't think Lee hurt it too badly.

I think Aragones would have been a bad fit for the more serious bits. Bill Seinkeiwicz would have been great.

[titansupes]

I definitely will.

Lee's straight art fits if you take it as how Batman would act in the real world.

[mooch]

I will a year and a half from now, when it comes out in paperback.

[Mantis Girl 94]

Of course I will...its a BM comic

[dropkickjake]

Nah. Not a fan of Miller's treatment of, well, anyone. Can't bring myself to read about the batman that starved a child in a cave to produce a child soldier rather than having compassion and taking care of him. I prefer comic book heroes to be heroes.

No children starved in All-Star. He went to sleep hungry, yes. He woke up to a cheeseburger prepared by an excellent cook.

And, the kid brought him back to compassion. The kid reminded him to be caring, to be human. That's the point. Batman needed a Robin to give him responsibility and to remind him the value of being gentler.

A process that took all of about two days.

LOL!! Oh man, you made me laugh when I read your reply

But I agree with dropkickjake in that AS Batman and Robin was garbage. And not even Lee's pretty art could salvage that book. Batman calling Robin a "punk" and so out of character throughout. It's too bad that it couldn't have been as good as AS Superman

[Johnny Thunders!]

Oh yeah definitely. It has to be Batman taking out Superman and Wonder Woman's corrupted children? Oh man, he's going break Supermans Jaw.

Miller is in really poor health. I question how much input he really has in this thing. 8 issues is really pushing it too. The original series weren't even that long. This is a quick marketing tie-in for the new Batman v. Superman/DC Extended Universe movie franchise launch. I wouldn't put it past DC to ghostwrite books using Miller's name. They need all the help they can get. The trailer for "Suicide Squad" is still more successful than "Batman v Superman"'s. That's got them scared.
