He made heroically flawed characters almost as trendy as Alan Moore did with Watchmen. It will be interesting to see how the interpretation lives on as Miller the author undoubtedly contends with foreseeable factors — the current political climate, the daunting popularity of the once kitsch super-hero he helped to legitimize, and his own legendary status as a Postmodern hero.
