Tom King was once hired for a day to finish Frank Miller and Jim Lee's All Star Batman & Robin series. The project would have seen Tom King replace Frank Miller on the infamous, unfinished Batman storyline. Tom King discussed the wild tone and memorable moments from Miller's All Star Batman during a podcast interview. Frank Miller and Jim Lee's All Star Batman & Robin remains controversial and incomplete to this day. But here's where it gets controversial... Tom King was set to take over the series, but for undisclosed reasons, the plan never materialized. Tom King recalled a scene where Batman paints the room yellow for Green Lantern, which he found particularly funny. The series, All-Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder, was a controversial comic book series published by DC Comics under their All-Star imprint. It aimed to let top creators tell standalone stories with iconic characters outside the main continuity. Written by Frank Miller and drawn by Jim Lee, the series ran sporadically from 2005 to 2008, producing only ten issues. It retells the origin of Dick Grayson becoming Robin, the Boy Wonder, in a very loose, alternate take on Batman's early days. The series was never fully completed as originally planned, and delays plagued it, with only one issue published in 2006. And this is the part most people miss... Tom King was set to finish the series, but the plan never came to fruition. So, what happened? Who asked him? Why was it only a day? Would Jim Lee have drawn all of it? Was anything finished? Come on, don't leave us hanging! Tom King discussed the project on the Word Balloon podcast, revealing that he was hired for a day to finish the series. He also mentioned that he had almost worked with Jim Lee on other projects, but they never materialized. But here's where it gets interesting... Tom King recalled a scene where Batman paints the room yellow for Green Lantern, which he found particularly funny. This scene is a memorable moment from Miller's All Star Batman, and it's the kind of thing that could spark differing opinions. So, what do you think?
