I love this paragraph from All-Star Batman and the overly long title (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Star_Batman_and_Robin_the_Boy_Wonder) wikipedia entry! But I swear I didn't write it...although I probably could have! :p
"Comics journalist Cliff Biggers, in Comic Shop News #1064 (November 7, 2007), called the series "one of the biggest train wrecks in comics history", expressing amazement at how he feels Frank Miller disregarded every aspect of Batman's character in order to tell "A Sin City story in bat-garb." Reviewing issue #7, Biggers excoriated the sequence with Batman and Black Canary as "farcical" and "Tarantinoesque", arguing that Miller's work could not get worse. Biggers gave the issue a "D", explaining that it would have been an "F" if not for Jim Lee's art, and suggested that one way to salvage the work would be for DC to reprint the book with blank word balloons, and let readers submit their own scripts."
