Welcome back to OH GOD IT BURNS!!! Your buyer’s guide to bad comics.

The episode you are about to pipe into your ear holes is a rebroadcast of our first episode in the Miller Time series, which takes a deep dive into the depraved and maniacal world of Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns universe, starting with the beautifully psychotic mess that is All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder. Why a rebroadcast? Because the collector in me goes absolutely nuts when there's a gap in a story, especially one that's as Dan DiDio-sized as the past few episodes. 

While the title of this series makes it seem like we’re in for a world of whimsical fisticuffs and other brazen acts of derring-do, this series pulls an impressive magic act switcheroo and instead feeds us what is essentially a 10-issue manifesto on how Batman is actually a borderline terrorist child abuser with a hard on for hero hating. Also, he says stuff like “whirling dervish” and “why the fuck you feeding the kid cheeseburgers, Alfred! He’s supposed to be hunting rats!”

Seriously guys, there are so so many reasons this series deserves space in your coveted Longbox of Cursed and Forbidden Comics – as does, by extension all other entries in Frankie’s Dark Knight Returns universe - but if I started listing them off here we’d never actually get to the show. So without further ado, I am proud to re-present to you our first episode in Miller Time as we watch the all-star train wreck that is All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder on this week’s episode of OH GOD IT BURNS!!!
