Frank Miller Chimes in on The Batman Movie by filmjunkee
Frank Miller gave his opinion on what he would like to see in the solo Batman movie. Frank Miller of course is the legendary comic book writer that brought us The Dark Knight Returns, and Batman: Year One. He was actually going to turn Year One into a a movie with writer/director Darren Aronofsky. Which he spoke about as well.
My dream would be to make it much smaller. To lose the toys and to focus more on the mission, and to use the city a great deal more. Because he’s got a loving relationship with the city he’s protecting. And unlike Superman his connection to crime is intimate; it has been ever since his parents were murdered. And he defeats criminals with his hands. So it would be a different take. But it will never be in my hands, because it would not be a good place to make toys from. There wouldn’t be a line of toys.
