FRANK MILLER To Return For THE DARK KNIGHT IV

What was previously billed as the "final chapter" of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns "trilogy" is no longer the final chapter at all.

Superstar writer/artist/director Frank Miller has confirmed to Newsarama that he has decided to create a fourth installment of his now legendary future-set Batman story. Miller said the Dark Knight IV story will follow up on the story being told in Dark Knight III: The Master Race, the eight-part mini-series that begins November 25.

And although DK III is being written by Brian Azzarello with art by Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson, Miller indicated he's writing the next one solo.

"I thoroughly applaud what [Brian's] doing. But now that he's doing his, it's now a four-part series," Miller told Newsarama on Monday. "I'm doing the fourth."

Whoever is handling him isn't handling him. They're killing him. He's not even a creator anymore. He's a pack animal that they're whipping into glue.

I'm not a huge fan of any of the dark knights, but I hope this means he's in good health now.

Mentioning the phrase "The Dark Knight Returns" used to not elicit laughter, god damnit.

Nothing good will come of this.

 

[Ridley327]

He isn't.

I remember some pics from NYCC that made him look like he was either approaching his 80s or just got there. The man is 58.

I didn't even realize he wasn't really working on DKIII.

[Poodlestrike]

Why?

Why?

Why?

 

[hal9001]

Yes yes yes. He is Batman. I would read anything Batman related by Miller. Fuck all you haters you can all go back to reading All new one more secret civil war covergance final crisis 2.0 reboot comics. This is for the big boys.

 

[DrForester]

I didn't know there was a 3rd one.

 

[Tabby]

But why?

 

[Blader]

"I thoroughly applaud what [Brian's] doing. But now that he's doing his, it's now a four-part series," Miller told Newsarama on Monday. "I'm doing the fourth."

That sounds like he's doing it to spite whoever made him share writing duties with Azzarello.

 

[SpaceWolf]

But why?

What are you dense? What are you retarded or something? Who the hell do you think he is?

 

[Daft_Cat]

Whoever is handling him isn't handling him. They're killing him. He's not even a creator anymore. He's a pack animal that they're whipping into glue.

He isn't.

Huh? How do you know his prognosis? IIRC, he's never spoken publicly about his illness.

Watch, it's going to be a re-envisioning of the Paris attacks, but with Batman beating the gunmen to a pulp. Also, french hookers, and, I don't know, let's say Hugo Strange with a choking fetish.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

He doesn't have to speak publicly about his illness. Look at his ass. And whoever is handling him is helping work himself to death. I mean, if that's truly what he wants to do, it's his life and his decision to make. But it doesn't seem to be doing him, or anyone else around him, any good, either.

 

[Daft_Cat]

Is he still basically wasting away?

Are you asking if he still has cancer (or some other serious illness)? If so, then it's tough to say. He looks a bit healthier in recent pictures.

It's actually scary that Frank Miller's 'Je suis Batsy' pretty much writes itself.

I was hoping for Bruce Wayne launching a Presidential campaign, while also protecting Gotham from a recent influx of super villains.
