Frank Miller
Sunday 4 March 2007 on G4

He's one of the most influential person in comics. The same man who gave us Elektra, darkened Batman and introduced us to the world of Sin City, brings us a new look at an old story in the upcoming 300. Icons revisits Frank Miller.

Frank has made cameos in a number of films including a priest in Sin City and a chemist in Robocop 2 (edit) (February 12, 2006) Frank announced his project, Holy Terror, Batman!, a story about Batman against Al-Qaeda in Gotham City. (edit) Frank was approached to do the screenplay as well as direct A Nightmare On Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989) in 1988 but turned it down due to comic projects he had committed himself to at that point. (edit) Frank is 6 feet 3 inches tall. (edit) Frank wrote the original screenplays for Robocop 2 (1990) and Robocop 3 (1993). Both films severely deviated from his source material, and performed poorly at the box office. Frank later published the original story for Robocop 2 through Avatar Comics, a nine-issue miniseries entitled "Frank Miller's Robocop" in 2005. No word has been given yet, however, if he plans to publish the one for Robocop 3. (edit)

Frank:(on Batman Begins) [on Batman Begins] "I totally thought they did a damned good job. It was the first 'Batman' movie I've genuinely liked. I sat there, I watched it, and I came out of there going, 'Well done, man.' Sure, they used my stuff - they used everybody's stuff, but they used my stuff a lot - but they did it well, and that's all I care about. It was Batman. What I mean by that is, I thought the character was true. You understand, when I work on a character, I have a very, very hard time seeing anybody else's interpretation. I get very possessive. But when I went out to see this thing, I said, 'This is a pretty cool Batman.' I wasn't sitting there going, 'This is a merchandising tool.' I felt like it really had heart and substance, and Christian Bale with no doubt performed the best Batman I have ever seen (edit) Frank: Think of me as the weathered sheriff coming back into Dodge 'cause the youngsters are shooting up the church and scaring the horses and not doing right by the women (edit) Frank: I realized that I was about to turn 30, and Batman was permanently 29. And I was going to be damned if I was older than Batman (edit) Frank: The day you write to please everyone you no longer are in journalism. You are in show business (edit) Frank: My feeling is that the hero has now been defined by phrases like the odious one that we were all raised with - crimes does not pay. Of course it pays, you schmuck. That's not why we don't do it. We don't do it because it is wrong. (edit)
