'''Frank Miller''' (born 1957) is a comic book writer and artist, most famous for helping to popularize Batman's return to his dark and gritty roots. He specializes in gritty, over-the-top noir, and usually draws in an immediately recognizable style - replete with stark black-and-whites and often no color at all. Most of his work is narrated in first-person, usually by a macho [[Sociopathic Hero]]. Pretty much all of his work is incredibly violent and bloody, sometimes to the point of [[Refuge in Audacity]]. Could be described as the "Patron Saint of [[Badass]]" - his heroes ''will'' be brutalized to the point of [[Heroic BSOD]], but they will also ultimately prove that a single [[Right Makes Might|Righteous]] Badass is superior (or at least equal) to [[Conservation of Ninjitsu|ANY number of evil mooks.]]

** We also see the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of making Batman too much like Travis Bickle in All-Star.

* [[Signature Style]]: Usually [[Black and Grey Morality]] and a [[Bittersweet Ending]] at best. Artistically, he tends towards large expanses of black with just enough white and occasional splashes of color. He's one of the more recognizable comic artists out there.

* [[Take That]]: Some have speculated that ''All Star Batman and Robin'' is a big insult to the people who complained that the Dark Knight Batman was too crazy, as perhaps evidenced by the line "You want nuts?! I'll show you nuts!" A close variant of this line occurs in [[Tim Burton]]'s Batman movie.

** Frank also seems to have little, if any, respect for Superman.
