Bleeding Cool reports (read the article here) that on the heels of the release of the Batman vs. Superman trailer last week, Frank Miller, author of "The Dark Knight Returns" revealed at the CCXP Comic show in Brazil that he would like to write a Superman comic...with Batman as the bad guy. As a fan of Superman I would love to see what Miller would do with the Man of Steel. I think Miller may run into some issues with Batman fans. Frank Miller is considered the quintessential "Batman" writer with The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One defining Batman for many generations as well as elements of his work being used in Tim Burton's Batman movie, Batman Begins, and Gotham. Most fans love Dark Knight Returns because of the fight at the end where Batman beats the hell out of Superman. Dark Knight essentially established Batman as the rebel and Superman for generations as the boy scout.
I think that if Mr. Miller does do a Superman comic then it would be fine if "Batman" was the bad guy but Bruce Wayne isn't. Maybe the story takes place in a different timeline where Bruce Wayne is too old or dead to be Batman. Thus a new Batman is on the scene terrorizing people working as a corporate puppet for Lex Luthor. Superman could be a new hero that works to stop Luthor and Batman as well.
Frank Miller doesn't need my help to write a Superman story. Whatever he does will be great and will thrill fans of all ages. I hope this happens soon because I would love to see Frank Miller's take on Superman.
