If I told you that in the mid 2000’s, DC Comics wanted to pair up Frank Miller (writer of such iconic comic books as The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil: Born Again and Batman: Year One), with Jim Lee (one of the most beloved and iconic artists in modern comics), together on a 12-issue Batman series, you’d think that’s an incredible idea. Two insanely talented figures in comics working together to craft what surely would be an era and genre defining Batman comic book. Instead, it was the complete opposite. 2005’s All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder is regarded as one of the biggest and most catastrophic failures in modern comics; a floundering, incoherent mess that (in nearly 3 years of releases), fails to tell a compelling story, establish any real characters, or even have an actual villain. Considering the parties involved in bringing this book to life, All Star Batman borders on tragedy in its failure, and in this video, I want to talk about what happened and what went wrong with Miller and Lee’s All Star Batman and Robin, from its initial inception, to the various problems that curbed the book’s momentum, to its quiet and shallow whimper from existence, and the legacy held by its flounder, and the cautionary tale of the Goddamn Batman.
