Entertainment Weekly catches up with Frank Miller at Cannes, where he talks briefly about the Sin City sequel, the success of 300, and tackling The Spirit.
“The next thing I do is draw, so I’ll be in New York drawing a movie for a while,” he says. “This is kind of like drawing a comic book only you’ve got 100 more panels each. And then we’re going to get down to the casting and all the wonders of preproduction. We’re talking about shooting possibly in November. I’m eager to get back to work. As much as I love doing my comics — that really satisfies the solitary part of my job — having another world that’s populated by people that I can yell at is wonderful. I can’t wait to be working with actors again. It’s my favorite part of the job.”

This explains why ASB&R Bats is so frelling angry. Frank is taking his anger out on the page whereas in films he takes it out on the cast and crew. Maybe we fanboys need to take up a collection and hire Frank a “whipping boy” for when he’s writing comics. Then maybe ASB&R Batman won’t be such a huge @$$hole.
Of course that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.
