Description

I had the idea some time ago to get JB's take on FM's Dark Knight since he was the one that suggested Robin should be a girl. 2008. Size:11 x 17"

From the Washington Post: Miller says that the idea to create Carrie Kelley � whom the Maryland-born Miller considers Batman�s adoptive daughter in �Dark Knight Returns� � was sparked by a conversation with comics veteran John Byrne, while the two were flying to an Ohio comics convention.

�I told [Byrne] I had an idea for a Batman book where Batman was older and crankier�.and he said make Robin a girl and he drew me a sketch,� Miller recalls. �An idea of Robin as a girl, and how the costume would look better on a girl. The idea was so good I couldn�t resist it. It just seemed natural from then on.�

Man that is one of my favorite Byrne figure commissions. Sure, the massive ones with all the details are cool, but seeing JB do his take on FM's Dark Knight is soooo incredible, the only drawback is I want to see a whole issue : ) CONGRATS!!!
