Sorry for the long title, that was the best I could come up with.

Anyway, I found this book in my house while cleaning the other day-The Many Lives of The Batman, which was published back in 1991.

It has an interview with Frank Miller and he said something which I found interesting:

What offended me most was seeing the tracing off of David Mazzucchelli's drawings in the Catwoman series, and also seeing my own drawings traced off in The Cult. I really would have thought better of them. I would have thought the artists involved in those projects would do better than that.

This is the first I'm hearing of such a thing, have any of you heard this before? Any of you notice it at the time? Remember, this was back in 91.

I remember seeing a TPB of the Catwoman series and some of the scenes looked just like the ones in Batman: Year One. I read later that the Catwoman mini-series was her origin and Batman:Year One from her point of view.

The Cult, I don't know. In it I think the Batmobile is a tank like in DKR.

IIRC, the panels in question may have been the origin flashback in "Cult," with the way the pearls were falling or something.

It's been so long.

also in The Cult the news broadcast panels are the same stylized ones as in DKR.

Not familiar with these books, but I want to see it now.

Catwoman was supposed to be year one from her point of view

Cult has he Bat Tank appearing in the same position as in DKR (although I can't remember how similar it is)

It's been a long time since I actually read it but Catwoman's story did visually remind of Batman: Year One

The Bat Tank in The Cult is very different from the one in TDKR.
