We were talking in class today about  Frank Miller’s inherent cynicism/bitterness after the whole debacle with DC. This brief interview is, well, uber brief. Miller has about two quotes, and the MTV correspondent spends more time dwelling upon the flop of The Spirit rather than the genius that is The Dark Knight Returns.  Nonetheless, the snippet is about the latest Batman flick, The Dark Knight and what Miller thought about it. And yes, it should have been called The Joker. But perhaps Heath Ledger’s death contributed to a lot of hype before the movie’s release. I would love to see a film version of The Dark Knight Returns under these stipulations: 1.) No Christian Bale. 2.) Frank Miller has a heavy hand in it. 3.) Elijah Wood is nowhere to be found.

Anyways, take a gander at the article here: http://splashpage.mtv.com/2009/01/16/frank-miller-on-the-dark-knight-they-should-have-called-it-the-joker/
