No, Scott, in fact, I imagine most of the OWSers look askance at blue collar work, the Gangs in the Dark Knight Returns 24 years ago, aren't particularly of any pigment, but they are feral by nature, something the campy TV show couldn't grasp.'

Miller's account was based on Herodotus's histories, something Brin conveniently forgot, and that was full of fantasmagoric element, 'Under Siege's villain, was a rogue navy spook, insane enough to try to scorch the Hawaiian islands, this is true

Well even in his more bohemian days, Miller always saw the Batman as true, and authority as compromised or corrupt, except for Commissioner Gordon,
