Frasi di Frank Miller

Frank Miller è un fumettista, sceneggiatore e regista statunitense, considerato uno dei fumettisti americani più importanti e influenti dell'epoca contemporanea. È dotato di uno stile molto vicino a quello dei film di genere noir.

Creatore della serie Sin City, è noto anche per aver portato, insieme ad Alan Moore, le atmosfere cupe ed adulte nello sfavillante mondo dei supereroi tipiche delle origini. In questo senso sono fondamentali le sue storie su Devil, con la creazione di Elektra per la Marvel Comics, di Anno Uno e Il ritorno del Cavaliere Oscuro, due opere, una in continuity, l'altra ambientata in un ipotetico futuro, che puntano l'attenzione su Batman.

Frank Miller libro The Hard Goodbye

Origine: The Hard Goodbye

“For some reason, nobody seems to be talking about who we’re up against, and the sixth century barbarism that they actually represent.”

Interview on Talk of the Nation (NPR) as quoted in "NPR Interview with 300’s Frank Miller" The Atlasphere (10 March 2007) http://www.theatlasphere.com/metablog/612.php
Contesto: For some reason, nobody seems to be talking about who we’re up against, and the sixth century barbarism that they actually represent. These people saw people’s heads off. They enslave women, they genitally mutilate their daughters, they do not behave by any cultural norms that are sensible to us. I’m speaking into a microphone that never could have been a product of their culture, and I’m living in a city where three thousand of my neighbors were killed by thieves of airplanes they never could have built.

“Batman is a hero who wishes he didn't have to exist.”

Frank Miller libro Batman: Year One

About Batman's motives, as quoted by David Mazzuccheli in his Afterword to Batman: Year One.
Contesto: He's clearly a man with a mission, but it's not one of vengeance. Bruce is not after personal revenge... He's much bigger than that; he's much more noble than that. He wants the world to be a better place, where a young Bruce Wayne would not be a victim... In a way, he's out to make himself unnecessary. Batman is a hero who wishes he didn't have to exist.

“My Sin City heroes are knights in dirty, blood-caked armor. They bring justice to a world that gives them no medals, no praise, no reward.”

Contesto: My Sin City heroes are knights in dirty, blood-caked armor. They bring justice to a world that gives them no medals, no praise, no reward. That world, that city, often kills them for their brave service.
