What a strange man. In the 1980's he was against nuclear proliferation and that can be seen in his "Dark Knight Returns". In the 2000's however it seems 9/11 pushed him radically in a different direction on foreign policy. He has been historically anti-censorship. I never looked at his "going nuts" through a political perspective though, instead focusing on his his "art" has degraded from the somewhat realistic 1980's into that sh**thole 1990's-2000's artsh**t. In general, his mind is probably degrading, though I can't say I don't appreciate a good rant about anything, especially with words as graphic as "rapists" and such. I wonder what, as a whole, his political views are.

So apparently Miller's political change, on foreign policy at least, was a direct result of 9/11:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Terror_(graphic_novel)#Development (I was actually waiting for this to come out and apparently it has, but it doesn't look like there was much talk about it at all. Maybe I'll check it out)

For the first time in my life I know how it feels to face an existential menace. They want us to die. All of a sudden I realize what my parents were talking about all those years. Patriotism, I now believe, isn't some sentimental, old conceit. It's self-preservation. I believe patriotism is central to a nation's survival. Ben Franklin said it: If we don't all hang together, we all hang separately."

I'd like to see Frank Miller and Alan Moore collaborate on a graphic novel, with the stipulation that they each independently alternate writing pages.

That'd be great.

"The Dark Knight Rises" is severely overrated.

Which one? the good one "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" or its sh**tty sequel "Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again"?
