The Superman vs Batman dynamic would work a lot better if Superman was some kind of reverse vampire who got significantly weaker at night.

In the Elseworlds where Batman gets Superman's powers, Nightwing banked on that, hoping the fact that Superbat was waging a non-stop war on crime on the dark side of the Earth would depower him enough that Dick could take him. Nope.

I always pictured Flash's powers from his perspective to him moving around normally while everyone else moves incredibly slow, so he'd see Slade sloooooooooowly lifting the blade while briskly jogging into it.

I have so many questions. Why is Superman flying spread-legged? Is the little line indicating that he was trying to backhand the Atom? Is his left fist supposed to be comically large or is his left forearm really long, thus making the fist appear larger because it's closer to us? But where is his wrist? Is he squinting because Atom is really small? Where is the Bat signal coming from?

After looking more closely it appears that Superman did indeed backhand him. There is a little yellow star showing the impact.

That makes sense, I thought the line/Supe's face was supposed to show the Atom hitting him and he was sort of falling back from that but I think that's expecting a little too much considering who drew it.

Defeating Superman with a glove containing miniaturized red suns in the knuckles is goofier.

Defeating Hal Jordan by painting everything in a room (including himself) yellow is the goofiest.

If you don't think DK3 is going to be one of DC's top sellers of the year...

Anyway, his only recent work within the last few years is co-writing that Robocop mini with Steven Grant. "Keep getting work" is amazingly generous. Holy Terror was 2011, and his only other original work after that is a cover to The Creep #0 (Dark Horse, 2012) (which I'm not even sure is new art) and one of the variant covers for Detective Comics #27 (2014):

Not the script they ended up using, though. According to Miller they "butchered" his script.

Fortunately he was able to release it as a comic. He didn't do the art, but the guy he got was very much on the same page.

The second one was looser, but it was still about the same themes - the perils of corporate control of basic social services, and the indomitability of the human spirit shown both as the perils of drug addiction through the 'leashing' the new Robocop and through Robocop's rebellion against his directive reprogramming.

Where it really goes off the page is Robocop 3, which is much closer to Miller's Robocop comic script, where suddenly it's about military mercenaries supplanting the police and forcing people off their land at the behest of the evil foreigners that have taken control of an American company and city. And there's a jetpack and robot ninjas, because those are totally necessary. Miller didn't understand Robocop was satire.

I kinda liked the Robot Ninjas not because "Robot Ninjas". But because of how ridiculous they were portrayed. Like, oh my god, they store their robot ninja by having it meditate in a fancy zen garden :allears:
