I mean the costume was great but Selina was ugly as hell as she looks too much like a guy plus she was shaved bald, i mean i loved the graphic novel Year One since i was 14 when i bought it but i hated Miller's manly looking bald hooker as Catwoman is one of my boyhood comic character crushes but i dislike Miller's version.
Catwoman
Character » Catwoman appears in 3400 issues.
Catwoman is a fictional character originating from DC Comics. Under the costumed alias of Catwoman, Selina Kyle, is a cat burglar with an on-again, off-again, romantic relationship with Batman. She is shown as a woman who is very strong-willed, independent and morally dubious.
Anyone else hated Frank Miller's version of Selina Kyle/Catwoman?
I just didn't like that he had made her a prostitute who almost idly decides to be Catwoman. I think her strength in the Batman mythology lies more in how her life is the working class, somehow even more twisted mirror to Bruce's - it's not her sexuality that is the main draw or appeal to Bruce but rather the fact that she understands him and disarmingly so.
@chipsnopotatoes no way, Batman Year One is such a masterpiece and it has the feel of a David Fincher film like Se7en which is good
I liked his take on the character. The fact that she was a prostitute works for her, imo. The original costume, though, was pretty awful. Her look in Arkham City is more up my alley.
@CaioTrubat: High Five. And rumor has it, Warner Brothers is considering him to do their Justice League movie. That should be a hoot.
honestly despite mostly everyone raving about how great his Year One and DKR was...I really don't like anything done by him
Agreed. Frank Miller thinks he can mess with whatever that comes in his crazy mind. Even the Batman and Superman drawings are so ugly. I give him the credit for bringing the dark tones and new inspirations to Batman for what'd make him truly a Dark Knight, but most of his work is just ridiculous and overrated.
