I've heard Miller call himself self-mocking in this. I would offer that implies self-awareness. I would also offer that it provides an excellent excuse to never change your shtick: just go to the Abbott & Costello phase, and do the same old shit but add jokes.

I would like to see someone follow up with Miller and ask him just what flaws and cliches in his own work he himself sees that he's mocking.

WORLD'S FUNNEST, that would be self-mocking. That one I'll grant. But he didn't write that.

	My pet theory at the moment is that he's sick of Batman. Like Batman for him is Misery Whatever-her-name-is, for Stephen King's Paul Sheldon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, then don't write him. It's not that hard. I avoid writing Batman every day. (Reply to this) (Parent)
