HOLY TERROR BATMAN !

Yeah, same here--I mean, if it weren't for finding a copy of Dark Knight Returns at my local Borders at the tender age of 11-or-so, I don't think I would have ever gotten into comics in the first place.

I just think it's hilarious that the original title of this book was a play on Robin's old catchphrase, but it isn't a Batman book anymore so that doesn't really make sense. And after All-Star Batman and Robin, Miller couldn't produce any new material for me to waste my time on.

I feel lucky I wasn't reading comics when there were still expectations for the first issue of All-Star Batman & Robin, can you even imagine what those people were thinking at the time ? I wouldn't have considered something by Frank Miller and Jim Lee to be anything less than slices of glorious heaven on paper, the dissapointment must've been brutal.

...Honestly? I really love All-Star Batman. I mean, if it was meant to be the "official" take on how the two met, then I might not have liked it so much, but as it's own little universe where Miller and Lee can have fun in? Just vast entertainment.

All-Star Batman and Robin is insane in all the right ways. I'm totally expecting the same from Holy Terror.

I have a friend who has that same opinion about All-Star Batman & Robin.

If he was forced to save either Frank Miller or his entire family, then it would be Frank Miller's luckiest day.
