Not to digress on KS too much, but I find him a really odd nut- the dialogue in his films wavers from brilliant and hilarious to mediocre and several articles on a variety of subject that he's written have been very good as well. BUT, that said, I've heard mixed reviews for his comics work (I've never read any of his) and it seems if he strays too far from 'genre' he created in his firest few films his work gets worse.
Well....an example of his comic book writing is the Green Arrow series he did. I'm not a fan of Green Arrow and don't know much about GA, so I can't judge on how the character should have been written. But the series did have appearences by a whole host of other DC Comics characters.....one was Batman. And believe me....I KNOW Batman......my closet is filled to the ceiling with Batman comics. Star Wars and Batman have been my two great interests. And I have to say that KS wrote the most abysmal Batman you could ever read in your life. He had Batman sounding like Mr. Spock!!! I remember one scene goes something like this....
One character: How long did it take you to figure that one out, Bats?
Batman: It took me exactly 1.35 seconds.
I read that and said WTF!!!!!!!
Batman does not talk like that and NEVER talked like that.
So, if he writes anything for the SW TV show....consider yourselves warned!!!
He has yet to do a film that is outside of his genre.....which is these quirky kind of dialogue driven comedies.
