A review by karliclover
All Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder by Frank Miller
2.0
The only thing I liked about this book was the art. Jim Lee's art is breath-taking here. That's the only reason I gave this book two stars and not one. The man has chops.
Other than that, this is one of the worst books I've ever read. Batman is horribly portrayed. He does things that he would never do in a canon story, which makes this completely unbelievable. That whole thing with Black Canary? Wow, really?
And it's not only Batman that's out of character, Miller makes Hal Jordan a complete idiot and Wonder Woman a feminist bitch. I'm sure Superman would have been just as bad if he were in it more. Also, the Joker has tattoos. Why?
Unnecessarily vulgar language was thrown all over the place. There is, of course, the famous line "I'm the goddamn Batman." Dick Grayson even says "That is totally queer."
All of that said, I do, however, suggest that everybody read this just to see how bad it is. But don't buy it. Just sit in Barnes and Noble and read it.
