I liked your Elektra entry too, can't say im surprised Frank miller f*cked her up though, that's kinda what he does, right? i remember hearing a friend telling me about how Frank miller did the same thing for batman, he told me this years ago before i even knew who we was.
He didn't so much **** her up as not really flesh her out enough, which isn't that surprising considering that Daredevil was one of, if not his first writing assignment ever. She was fantastic in Elektra: Assassin though.

And I don't know that I'd say he ****ed up in Batman. I think a lot of sexist comic book nerds just can't get over their own prejudices when Miller portrays Catwoman as starting out as a prostitute.
