Frank Miller Shits On ‘Toy’ Driven Comic Book Movies

Remember the good old days when Tim Burton screwed up McDonalds deals with Batman Returns?  It seems that if Frank Miller were to get serious about a Batman movie, he might have to be given similar freedom.

Variety interviewed him at the Lucca Comics & Games meet-up, where he shared his candid thoughts on the film franchise:

My dream would be to make it much smaller. To lose the toys and to focus more on the mission, and to use the city a great deal more. Because he’s got a loving relationship with the city he’s protecting. And unlike Superman his connection to crime is intimate; it has been ever since his parents were murdered. And he defeats criminals with his hands. So it would be a different take. But it will never be in my hands, because it would not be a good place to make toys from. There wouldn’t be a line of toys.

All the same, I think Affleck’s Batman could be the second best there has been.   You already know who the best was and is.
