Frank Miller

To be fair... Miller was always a bit overrated, even at his best. His best stood out more because at the time it was beyond most of what everyone else was doing, but when left to his own devices, he's a mess. Dark Knight Strikes Again was so bad, it hurts the original Dark Knight Returns, so best to pretend it never happened. And as for All-Star Batman and Robin, for once Jim Lee's eternally late artwork was a gift, as they had to mercy-kill that book once Lee couldn't finish it. Art aside, it was awful.

Also, Robocop 2. I heard Miller did a comic series just a few years back based on his original script for Robocop 2, but I didn't read it. I heard it was still really bad, despite being his "actual vision". To think, he's been blaming Hollywood all these years for how that movie turned out, and come to find out it just wasn't a very good idea to begin with.
