Frank Miller is now a washed up talentless hack, but at one time he revitalized Batman with his 1986 classic "The Dark Knight Returns" followed by "Batman:Year One". His directorial debut, an adaptation of Will Eisner's "The Spirit" was D.O.A. at the box office. Recently in his blog he decribed the OWS movement as "nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists." "These clowns can do nothing but harm America." "This is no popular uprising. This is garbage. And goodness knows they’re spewing their garbage – both politically and physically – every which way they can find."
"In the name of decency, go home to your parents, you losers. Go back to your mommas’ basements and play with your Lords Of Warcraft," he continued after identifying organizations such as Al Qaeda as an "enemy of mine" but not of Occupy supporters. "Or better yet, enlist for the real thing. Maybe our military could whip some of you into shape."
What a difference 20 years makes. In "Batman: Year One" he included this scene of a dinner party with the wealthy and corrupt of Gotham City:

The scene and pretty much the entire mini series was recreated verbatim for the recent animated film from Warner Bros.
After Miller's temper tantrum many of the comic book industry's professionals responded, condeming Miller's ingorant words.
One of the best replies came from Richard Pace's blog:
