Thats a shame, could have seen Captain America flying into Pakistan to knock out Bin Laden with his shield. A modern take on the comic in which he knocked out Hitler. lol.
Frank Miller Wants to Write Captain America

Oooooh I bet he does. Captain Patriot act himself would be right at home, and I'm sure he would do his best to make those winged ears looks curiously like bat ears.
I too love his run on Daredevil, but sadly if he were writing it today Nuke would've probably been a hero rather than a tragic villain.Gorfias said:
Anyway, there's no way that Disney-owned Marvel is going to let him anywhere near any of their movie franchised characters, he's toxic at this point (and has diminished as an artist/storyteller). There's nothing stopping him making an ersatz Cap and doing his own thing though, but he seems to really crave that iconography for his own political reasons.

*doesn't know how centuries work
The American revolution started less than 250 years ago. Even rounding up, that's only three centuries.
Even if you want to stretch and count part of a century as "a historical century" (we're only 14 years into ours), well, let's see. Currently it's the 21st century. 20th, 19th, 18th... still three.
Before calling people "cripplingly incompetent", you should really check your own math.
I liked Robocop 2, but the Miller who wrote that and the Miller of today are very different people.
He can write the US Agent movie. Or maybe the Punisher.

Short version...
Not sure if Frank Miller is Dutch or not, but you get the idea.
Frank, whatever notions you have of reclaiming your former glory better be prepped to be burned along with the rest of your career. I'd list all of your faults and failures, but I'm sure the Internet (Linkara mostly) has done that job for me.
Although we're still waiting (and dreading) for an Atop The Fourth Wall review of Holy Terror.

I don't have enough NOPE in my body to accurately portray the amount of NOPE I am brimming with.
Considering my first impression of him was "What, are you an idiot? Are you RETARDED or something? I'm the GODDAMNED BATMAN", no, no you are not.JoshuaMadoc said:
Happily, he has made other appearances and is still a tragic villain. I think the best kind of villains are the ones that think they are right.Anti-Robot Man said:

I enjoyed the Dark Knight Returns, but it was such a pale shadow of this 1980s greatness. I look forward to him proving us wrong and helping make Sin City 2 awesome.

Captain America is supposed to represent the best of America, not what we are. So Frank Miller would suck at writing him, let Frank write US agent, (assuming hes still around) he seems like kind of an ass who would work well with Frank's world view.
Hell NO! I would not want a man who despises the entire superhero concept to touch Captain America. Captain America would have indeed had a lot to say about 9/11, and would have been, "It's not right to kill innocent people or blame whole countries for what a group of people did."
Please tell me this is the real Frank Miller, having just escaped after like 30 years imprisoned by an alien who had copied his image in order to infiltrate society.
...no? It's the guy who wrote All-Star Batman and Robin?

Once upon a time Frank Miller was a good comic writer. The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Year One, and his run on Daredevil were the highlights of his career. But shortly after working on Sin City he began to go eight-ways bananas, producing such crap as The Dark Knight Strikes Again, Holy Terror, and All Star Batman and Robin.Raika said:
