Hm. Hurm. Well.

Don't know if this is good yet. There will be a big-screen adaptation of Will Eisner's The Spirit.

By Frank Miller.

Discuss.

I just don't see Miller getting it. It will probably end up another Frank Miller story (which I am pretty sick of I have to admit) with the names from the comics ...

Wow, I could not disagree more! With "The Spirit," Eisner invented the genre niche that Miller occupies today. How could he =not= get it?

With cautious optimism, Susan.

There is a sparce-ness to the Spirit, something that cannot be said about Miller, at least not for some decades.

There is a gentleness, a sense of irony that I just can't see Miller dealing with. Subtlety is something that Miller just doesn't do.

Agreed with the "subtlety" point - Eisner had it in spades, Miller ... doesn't.

Yeah, Miller's idea of subtlety is hitting you over the head with a 10-pound sledgehammer instead of a 12-pound sledgehammer.

Or, you know, a prepubescent girl who only crushes on her father figure instead of growing up to have a relationship with him. *coughs*
