On Frank Miller
I was a comic book nerd as a teenager, and my favorite publication was the Frank Miller/Klaus Jansen versions of Daredevil. The hero is a blind lawyer, and while the law wasn’t my calling, my Dad is a lawyer, and I respect and love him for having been a good one in my opinion.
Miller seems to be good at portraying lonely, psychologically tortured men in a largely corrupt or evil world. He is known in Hollywood for his ultra-gritty, film noir Sin City movies. I got a copy of one of his Batman graphic novels recently.
Some lines from the Batman: Year One copy: “I am not ready… I have the means, the skill — but not the method… no that’s not true. I have hundreds of methods. But something’s missing. Something isn’t right. I have to wait. I have to wait.”
