Which is how Bruce Wayne looks like in TDKR. Don't be surprised with 'ol Frank Miller saying that. In some ways, I haven't seen any comic book that trumps its film adaptations other than those written by Alan Moore.

For the aged Batman, we want an Actor who has a chiseled but a little droopy physique and who can perform some action stunts AND NOT a chiseled but a little droopy physique who can perform some action stunts BUT can barely act/talk. I may be wrong but prior to this, I think Stallone had played a superhero and was a superflop. I don't remember who he played. With a Superhero movie, there is no Grey area, just a Black or White in terms of box-office Success. Either it's a hit or a flop. So ''No Stallone'' for this role.

I actually con see a very cool and believable action scene with Silvester Stallone fighting the mutant leader. My only problem is his esthetic cirguries on his eyelids The first time I Read The Dark Knight Returns I thought Carlton Heston was ideal to play the part, years passed and Charlton Heston died, then I saw Clint Eastwood in Space Cowboys and thought there was no one better than him to play the part, now sadly I think is just to old to play him.

I'm not too opposed to Stallone, in a way. The guy can barely act, but I agree that he'd make a good actor for it, physically. but who could do it better? I don't know, Ron Perlman? He's a pretty massive guy, with some insane mouth bone structure- and he's got some acting chops. Daniel Day Lewis? *shrug* That’s a hard thing to say.
