Legendary comic book artist and writer Frank Miller, who
famously turned the caped crusader into a fascist in the seminal graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, now advocates
fascism in the real world. In a rant
posted on his website, he disregards the Occupy movement
as one populated by “louts, thieves, and rapists.” He also dismisses them as an “unruly mob”
that does nothing but “harm America.” Miller
manages to do all of the aforementioned in first paragraph alone. His rant maintains the same tone throughout,
even going so far as to take jabs at the sheltered man child who at one time worshiped him, before execrable works such as All Star Batman and Robin and most
recently Holy Terror eroded such
devotion. Though inflammatory, his stance isn’t exactly surprising, given the militaristic
and fascist tone of even his most respected works.
