frank miller, king of subtlety

Holy Terror, Batman!

"For the first time in my life, I know how it feels to face an existential menace. They want us to die. All of a sudden I realize what my parents were talking about all those years. Patriotism, I now believe, isn't some sentimental, old conceit. It's self-preservation. I believe patriotism is central to a nation's survival. Ben Franklin said it: If we don't all hang together, we all hang separately. Just like you have to fight to protect your friends and family, and you count on them to watch your own back. So you've got to do what you can to help your country survive."

can't wait until this shitbird kicks it. the unspeakable irony of a man who once paraded a nationalistic Superman around as the acme of all that was deplorable in a superhero now groveling before the standard of patriotism? stinks worse than rotting blood.

look at you, you one-hit wonder. you got old.

and then there's the matter of his squicky attitude towards gender roles - he's worse than tarantino when it comes to making his freudian issues tangible and clammy:



ahem.
