Frank Miller Reflects on Dark Knight Returns 30th Anniv.
Batman has seen many creators take their turn behind the cape and cowl since his initial inception, yet none have impacted the character's legacy quite like Frank Miller. In 1986 the writer-artist delivered his seminal masterpiece, The Dark Knight Returns, offering a bold new direction for the character while in turn ushering in a whole new era of comic storytelling. In Los Angeles to celebrate the 30th Anniversary Edition of the book's release, Miller sat down with IGN to talk about The Dark Knight Returns' enduring legacy, what makes Batman relevant, and why he keeps coming back to the character. He then took the stage for a Q&A moderated by DC Co-Publisher Dan DiDio, where he discussed his initial apprehension at reinventing such an established character, the impact he's had on future creators, and who would win in a fight between Batman and Captain America.

It's hard not to love Margo and Eliot on The Magicians. The two were immediately charming as the Syfy series' comedic relief, but by the time the most recent episode aired, "Impractical Applications," it was clear there was something deeper in the two Brakebills students.
Summer Bishil and Hale Appleman know the reason behind their characters' easy chemistry on the page: showrunners Sera Gamble and John McNamara say they're very much Margo and Eliot in real life. (Gamble says she's Eliot and McNamara says he's Margo, for the record.) But it's a testament to the bond and understanding between Bishil and Appleman that the pair pop off the screen in every scene they're in and are The Magicians' most reliable scene-stealers.
