What ameliorates the MILLER!ORIGIN! for me on this point is the role they play in each other's costumed beginnings. It's after tangling with Selina and her pals that he sits in front of the window, wondering how to make his enemies fear him, then it's after seeing Batman that Selina is inspired. Still problematic, still too much Frank Miller REAL!MAN!, sure, but forming a story-bond between them and having the future Catwoman be part of his origin in a subtle way. Year One is full of Miller's best and worst tendencies as a writer, I shall go on about this sometime and place it's a-called for. ;)
