Frank Miller is not a great writer unfortunately. It was lightning in a bottle for DKR, The 300 (though the movie did it more justice) and arguably Sin City (similar to the 300), but not much else landed well for him.
He was always more of an edgy artist than a story writer imo.

It’s hard to overstate just how fucking good Dark Knight Returns is.
And then DKR2 & 3 happened.
