Gotta love how even though Vicky Vale is beaten to a pulp, her makeup is perfect. Also, I have no problem w/female heroines being a size 0 and wearing less-than-practical outfits, it's when, as you've said, that they're just drawn for eye-candy that it's becoming ridiculous.
I remember skimming through this at the bookstore and thought about buying it because of the art, and then I noticed the ass-shot. Nothing good can come from an ass-shot.
Good vid, keep 'em coming!

Virtually EVERY SINGLE ONE of Frank Miller's women are sexed-up whores.
I mean hell, just look at what he does to Black Canary, Catwoman and Wonder Woman when they come along.
And of course, the Vicki Vale strippathon doesn't stop at the first issue.

Yeah, Frank Miller has probably lost it, basically when reading All Star Batman & Robin I had to convince myself that it was a Elseworlds tale and then I was able to enjoy it more, because as you stated repeatedly in your review, this IS NOT the real Batman!
Additionally I have to ask, you really didn't like the movie adaptations of "Sin City" or "300"? I really dig those two movies but I will agree "The Spirit" is...umm...something else....great review as always

Why is 300 stupid?
It is kinda stupid in the way it uses the concept of 'freedom'. Movie goers nowadays do not have the same concept of freedom Spartans had on those days. I think that's the reason for some people to interpret the movie as an allegory of the war on terror and all...
But I think it captures perfectly the crude Spartan ideals of strenth and of giving one's life to the Polis.
Loved the way they used the legendary laconic phrases were transformed into action movie's one-liners...
(And the fighting scenes were great :P )
Is it only the movie adaptation you are talking about? Is it the way it was adapted?(sorry about my english, it is not my native language)

I hated this series. Im glad you finally made a video for it. but, I fucking love Frnak Miller! He's the reason why I got into comics. Sin CIty is amazing and I love most of his other work with Batman and Daredevil. Thats why this comic dissapointed me so much, take my favorite super hero and one of my favorite wrtiters (and Jim Lee) and you get... shit. go figure.

You know what the sad thing about this is? I can honestly see how this could have been a good story. Even scarier, I can even picture Batman actually just kinda taking DRAT(Dick gRayson Age Twelve) without explaining anything about it. However, only someone as evil as Crazy Steve would flat out kidnap a twelve year old kid, force him to become his ward and sidekick(without even telling him he'd done so), and then swear at him more often than an "emo" kid trying to act tough around his friends.

ASBM: You'll come (& possibly leave) for the Frank Miller & Stay for the Stan Lee.
All Star Batman & Robin: To Boldly Go where No Logic has Gone Before.
Let's play a drinking game. Every time a character repeats anything they say,repeats anything they say, you have to take a shot (take a shot). Paramedics will be standing by.
Lol, this has more unintentional gay/pedo jokes than I remembered. If I hadn't read this before, I'd expect it to end in rape. Wait...Joker came off as really gay in DKR (yay!) & Gordon made an unintentional pedo joke in it too. Does Miller do this in everything he writes?
