Miller on the movie pipeline dip

The writer expressed relief that there are fewer comic book movies being made. He stated that the industry had gotten out of control previously. Miller believes comics were in danger of losing their own identity during that time.

Reasons for the shift in focus

Miller argued that too many artists and writers sought movie and TV deals. He noted that the desire for fame and money drove this trend. The technology catching up with creators also played a part in the change.
