Alas poor Linkara. I knew him, for I am the god damn Batman.

When I saw this, I though Spawn said that batman's poetry sucked and this is the result.

kinda makes you wonder what could go wrong with such a perfect match

Frank Miller, who's never written anything resembling a good Batman story in his entire life. That's what went wrong.

the Dark Knight Returns was good
So was Batman: Year One

They both sucked. Irredeemably so. Plotless, incoherent, full of stupid and unlikeable characters (including Batman himself), Catwoman as a hooker in both, and DKR marked the beginning of Miller's nonstop Superman bashing. There's no difference in quality between those and Miller's subsequent Batman stuff, unless becoming more entrenched in his own stupidity counts as a difference.

They were good,
If you notice, in DKR, Superman was still portrayed as a pretty likeable character, who's love for the people put him into a bad situation (he decided to work for the government, in exchange for still being allowed to save people)
Batman himself wasn't nearly as psychotic in these titles as in Miller's later exploits.
It took allot more to push him over the edge, and was generally less willing to use lethal force
He also relied more on his smarts
"stupid and unlikeable" you basically described the vast majority of humanity here
The characters being jerks does not mean the story is bad, real humans tend to be even worse
Face it, Miller was a good writer at one point, but he got stuck in his own conventions and clichΓ©s, believing his own hype

Don't tell me what I did or didn't notice. Those books were TWILIGHT-level Mary Sue garbage and that's that. I will NOT be told to like books that offer nothing of value. And I will NOT be told to "face" that a talentless writer was ever good when his work is consistent across the board in its failings.
You have no right to talk to me like this. Don't ever do it again.

And you have no right to spew such bullshit about an actual good work, just because it's author lost his way later on, just because you have conservative tastes
Let's be honest, you are just parroting whatever Linkara says, and try to be holier than the pope on top of that
Don't like it?
Fine
But don't harras people for being less closed-minded than you
btw, nice gallery

He wrote The Dark Knight Returns and Batman Year One, both considered to be among the greatest Batman Stories in existed.

I think they're the worst Batman stories ever

Sorry, they both sucked. For the exact same reasons his other Batman stuff does. He's never written a good Batman story. I've read infinitely better Batman stuff than Miller's dribble.

To be or not to be? I believe the answer to the question in this case is "not".

Nice titlecard. Love Linkaras expression
Time to fasten the seatbelts and see what level of hell we will end on

Still not the most embarrassing crossover Bruce Wayne has ever been in (that would go to his crossover with Aliens).

I've seen a comic of the two together once.

... Did you, or did you not make the title card for the upcoming Warrior #4? I've believed I have got myself to the point of wanting to see that review and see more of the insanity that the Ultimate Warrior has to bring.
Still, another review to look forward to.

Oh, before I forget, I donated my copy of this thing to AT4W when Linkara attended Youmacon 2009. So if you're going to blame anyone for the existence of this review, blame me.

The sad part is, DC did their own Batman/Spawn book, written by the entire Batman creative team and drawn by Klaus Janson. That book was outstanding, and it treated both characters with incredible respect. And the best part? Aside from a very brief scene of mistaken identity at the start, Batman and Spawn got along pretty well and worked together.
Miller's book? Well, those of you haven't read that piece of shit are about to find out just how bad it is. And just how horribly Todd McFarlane's beautiful artwork is wasted on it.

This actually happened? Seems like it would be awesome actually. Lets see how it's ruined.

Ya know, Bats with the skull there is actually how Kevin Conroy originally approached the Batman TAS role because he claimed that originally he interpreted Batman as the Hamlet story
