Calling all Batman Lovers....

...you MUST read this link.  Now.  No, not later, I mean right now.  It goes into glorious detail about the shitty new Miller/Lee Batman and Robin All Star Series (i.e., the series that brought you the infamous "I'm the Goddamn Batman" quote).   I only own the first two issues and stopped because honestly, they sucked.  But read this because I haven't laughed so hard at an article in a long time. 

Four Words: Dick Grayson: Age Twelve.

Seriously, check it out.

UPDATE: Here's the follow up link for the next few issues.  Seriously awful garbage.  I think Miller HAS to be doing this as a great FU to the fans, to DC, to whomever, because I KNOW he has to know that this is utter garbage.

Isn't that AWFUL?! Did you check out the second link? I just updated it with another column that he wrote on the next three. Effing AWFUL. HE MUST be doing this to screw with the fans. There's just no other explanation for this crapola.

If you read it as cranked to the max satire, it's fantastic. But, if you read it seriously, it's garbage, a huge fuck you to the fans.

Ellis did this much, much better in Nextwave: "Beating people up to save the world."

How do you view it; satire or an embittered writer who should just stop before he ruins his good name? I agree with you about the satire, but part of me hates that he used Bat's as the medium with which to do it.
