review 1: Just reread this in preparation for an interview and it was just as bad this time around. Hate literature in its most sickening form.I used to really admire and respect Frank Miller in the 1980s, for the artistic inventiveness and sheer visual beauty of comics like Daredevil, Electra Assassin and Dark Knight Returns of course Then his misogynic and downright fascist tendencies started to shine through and a few volumes into Sin City I gave it all up, writing him off as a disgruntled old man and a has-been. This, though, again kindred my interest, though now it's the academic in me that finds this book fascinating. The, as far as I know, uncorroborated story about this originally being written as a Batman story that DC turned down sounds very plausible indeed. And the fact... more that Miller's other publishing house Dark Horse obviously also turned it down says a lot about the industry's view on this hateful story.
review 2: Meh.I was expecting to hate this, but I like it better than what Miller did with his two most recent takes on Batman. The artwork is bold and Sin City-esque; the writing veers between weak and silly. I found it too weak to be offensive, but I can understand why others could be offended.(By contrast I dipped into _Batman: Year One_ shortly after I finished this ... and was compelled to reread that from beginning to end.) less
