PRO: One of the most popular and recognized names in comic books, creator of such mega-hits as Sin City and 300—both of which have been adapted into hit films—as well as The Dark Knight Returns featuring Batman.
CON: His recent work has been erratic, with his All-Star Batman & Robin The Boy Wonder panned by critics for awkward dialogue, and, although he's boasted for some time of writing a Batman graphic novel in which the crusader fights Osama bin Laden, nothing has yet to materialize.
