I'm honestly never planning to. From the little of the movie I've seen, Miller picked who is pretty much one of the most upbeat heroes of all time (I imagine him as a Plasticman from another universe) into his dark gritty Sin City-like world.
Batman IS a villain in Frank Miller's stuff. The "EAT GLASS, LAWMAN" pretty much makes him more proud to be reckless than Sin City's Marv.
But don't be a pompous ass. Nobody likes that.
Listen, I still hate OMD more than pretty much any single retcon event in history, because it was a comic that serves only that ONE single purpose. To rid Spider-Man of his marriage. It served no other purpose whatsoever. Bringing back Harry was simply a stupid little bonus which didn't even make sense, but on the whole? The book is simply Quesada saying "Peter is no longer married because I like it better, and aside from the American Son arc, none of his 616 comics will be anything more than pointless shitty drama."
You still gotta admit that DC can do stupid retcons for the sake of nothing at all. Retconning Clark and Lois would simply take a nutty editor taking over after Didio, and deciding he likes Clark better without Lois. I mean, All-Star Superman used that mechanic of Lois not respecting Clark, but going nuts about Supes. Batgirl, you might have not followed her around much, but she was an incredibly good character. And she was needlessly ruined. Prometheus, well... Morrison can make any character be awesome, no matter how ridiculous he, she or it is. Prometheus hasn't appeared much, but in Hush Returns for example, he was atrocious, and that arc brought us what was possibly the worst Joker of all time. (A mafia boss who didn't smile, have a rich mansion of his own, spent all the time whining about his wife and what happened to her in The Killing Joke, and didn't care about Batman, just about finding who set the conspiracy to kill her back then, who aparently, Ed Nigma saw. It was [tornado fang]ing stupid, and it's not clear how much of it is canon). Anyway, the least said about him, the better. Green Arrow's pretty much ruined for good, as well as the characterization of everyone in Cry for Justice. And about Max Lord... well, they pretty much made a retcon of the WHOLE 90's period of the Justice League. All of it. Heck, from 1987 to 2004. And people loved him as a manipulative bastard who was essencially a good guy. I just hope the new JLI book can fix him, if just a little bit of it. What I've read of it... I'm hopeful.
I miss that guy. ;_; He was so rad.
It is. Best Superman tale ever told, in my opinion. It basically tells us everything Superman ever was and is. My only problem with it being canon or not, is that he's not married to Lois, and Pa Kent dies there again. I don't mind Pa Kent coming back, but Clark and Lois is one of those couples I REALLY, REALLY REALLY wouldn't want to Mephisto.
I consider All-Star Superman the equivalent of Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, only instead of being the last Silver Age story, it's the last Modern Age story.
All-Star Superman isn't canon...
...YET.
We all saw what happened with Batman: Son of the Demon. =P
Naturally (actually I'm more of a Peach/Luigi person, but moving on...). I'm just saying, as much as people like the title character, sometimes they also enjoy the supporting cast. And it in no way whatsoever is, and in fact probably shouldn't be, because they play in some ass-backwards style that cannot possibly be reconciled with that of the title character's stage layout. Same applies to required replays.

Why does anyone play as Luigi, Toad, or Peach in SMB USA?
