Miller has a penchant for exploring the grim and gritty aspects of a character and the world that character inhabits, and in fact he is equally well known and respected for creating such a world himself in his Sin City.

Miller doesn't say how many Greeks remained for the climactic battle--you'd think 300 Spartans and maybe a dozen others, when there were between 700 and 1,100 Greeks.
Miller clearly isn't as interested in being a historian as he is in telling a story, but his portrayal of the ancient world is compelling.
Like Miller's comic, it is visually stunning, but Leonidas and Xerxes came across more like the cast of "Dog the Bounty Hunter," not what I have come to thing of when I think of Thermopylae and the sacrifices that surround it.

Frank Miller's work is about as far from 'Hollywoodised' as you can get in terms of graphic novels being made into films.
All Miller has done is blur the line between fantasy and reality, which surely is the point of a graphic novel and a film - it is not a documentary, nor is it a historical account, it is a story.
It is necessary to remind yourself that this is a work of fantasy, though i believe Frank Miller does the Spartans a disservice in his portrayal of them, and especially of Leonidas (in reality it was because, not in spite of the oracle that he went to war).

Miller was also hired by Warner Bros. to pen the script for a “Batman: Year One” movie to be directed by Darren Aronofsky, but the project died in development.
Miller and Darrow’s subsequent 1996 collaboration “Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot,” a fond deconstruction of junky Japanese films and goofy robot-boy comics, proved durable and accessible enough to be turned into the unlikely but entertaining animated TV series of the same name (1999-2001).
Miller created another well-received comic book miniseries during his “Sin City” period, 1998’s “300,” a compelling, machismo-soaked, highly cinematic interpretation of the historic battle of Thermopylae during the Spartan wars of 480 B.C.—indeed, the project was inspired by the 1962 film “The 300 Spartans,” which Miller had loved as a young boy.

Miller and Brownstein have been taking their conversational act on the road to various comics conventions for some time, and this past Sunday they opened in the biggest auditorium available at the New York Comic-Con.
