I highly disagree. Miller's Batman was the best thing for that character, as he became the Chuck Norris of comics, almost god-like and an unstoppable force...able to punk Superman and others at will...this was not the case before DKR...as he was a powered down caped detective vigilante...along the lines of Daredevil. Batman, thanks to Miller, has now morphed into a superhero who can now take on superpowered entities not possible before...Batman's legend and prowess just grew a grew. Chris Nolan's trilogy made tons of money too...Batman replaced Superman as DC Comics number one superhero. All thanks to Miller.

I'm finding that nowadays with fandom in general (not just superheroes) everyone has their own personal canon, their own personal paradigm of what a character and story should be. Batman was indeed best in the 1970s (in the comics). The Denny O'Neill stuff, the Marshall Rogers stories... Batman was a dark detective who still wore blue and sang Silent Night on Christmas. Absurd, but it worked. They had struck the right balance of an appealing personality, an incredible detective, and a superhero without "powers". The tone was mysterious and intriguing instead of depressing.
DC and WB has their work cut out for them to identify the sweet spot that will appeal to multiple denominators. Fans of the video games, fans of the comics, Nolan fans... I'm afraid that the heroic guy in Blue I grew up with is now considered obtuse and not on the radar of marketability.
I still think this film will end up being very watchable, and somewhat enjoyable. It will be flawed and likely uneven in spots, but I think it will be entertaining.Comment

And that's precisely why he ruined Batman. Batman isn't a superhero. He never was. Making him godlike and able to defeat Kryptonians is so utterly ridiculous it's not even funny. Superman could fly him into the sun before he could pull a single gadget out of his belt. Batman was never better IMO than in the seventies. He had gone back to his darker roots, but was still a fun character, and the stories from that era really showcased his skills as a detective. He's been reduced to an obsessive brutalizing thug who relies far too much on technology.sigpicComment
