I admit that I consciously avoided reading All-Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder by Frank Miller and Jim Lee when it began in 2005. Why, you ask? I loved Frank Miller’s work on Daredevil in the 1970s. He almost single-handedly revived Batman as a serious character with The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One in the 1980s. He reintroduced hard-boiled crime noir to comics with Sin City. Then, in my humble opinion, he stumbled when he revisited the Batverse with The Dark Knight Strikes Again in 2001.
