Found my 'well read' copy of DKR TPB. Just started reading it last night. Magnificent. Is this the crowning achievement in comics or what? Watchmen comes close, but I think this may be the greatest comic story ever.

For you heathens who have never read this, stop what you are doing, go out and buy it immediately.

No, don't read this post... EP said immediately. What do I have do? Kick your ass? Get going!!!!!

Frank Miller... totally... missed the point of what it means to be Batman. I am not a murderous psychopath, nor are my... archfoes. The worst crime that has ever been committed in Gotham is bank robbery. We only have one bank in town, and it seems to be robbed quite often. If it's not the Joker robbing the bank, it's the nefarious Louie the Lilac, or piano virtuoso Chandell's evil twin brother Harry. They really should... step up security. Robin and I have... better things to do. No, not that. Aunt Harriet never leaves us unchaperoned long enough for any hanky-panky.

Speaking of Hanky Panky. Every other time I read DKR I get this creepy feeling that septagenarian Batman is boinking his undersized Robin. Then I'll reread it later on and wonder where the hell I got that subtext from, then read it again later and get all creeped out without being able to put my finger on why.

Batman's a sicko. Shtupping twelve year old girls, taking advantage of her idol worship.

I finished Eisner/Miller last night.

Not technically a comic, but freaking awesome.

Buy it. Read it. Now.

Man. What a decade will do, huh?

If All Star Batman didn't get you to jump off the FM Bandwagon, Holy Terror sure as hell did.

Frank Miller and Alan Moore can have a 'loony old man'-off.

Sickboy's Unified Theory of the Universe remains intact and functional.
