Frank Miller has long been considered a visionary in the comic book world, but his contributions to cinema are nearly as impressive. Sure, Miller's attempt to bring Will Eisner's The Spirit to the big screen was a colossal failure, but when future Oscar-nominee Darren Aronofsky was hired by Warner Bros. to resurrect its Batman franchise following the Batman & Robin debacle, Aronofsky turned to Miller and his Batman: Year One mini-series for guidance. And, the big screen adaptations of Miller's 300 and Sin City comic books were both visually stunning and commercially successful movies capable of supporting sequels — 300: Battle of Artemisia and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For are both currently in development, with the latter lensing this summer.
Fox is also looking to one of Miller's classic Daredevil stories for its untitled Daredevil reboot, which has been dormant since Brad Caleb Kane (Brooklyn's Finest) was hired to write the screenplay last June.
