Direction
Oliva translates Miller's panels with obsessive frame-for-frame precision.

Jay Oliva
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Frank Miller hated the 1989 Burton film so much he wrote this comic as corrective propaganda; the adaptation keeps his obsessive panel layouts shot-for-shot.
The Reagan-era satire hits different post-2016; the media-debate scenes between Lana Lang and Dr. Wolper basically predicted cable news hell.
