In his introduction to The Dark Knight Returns #1, Frank Miller says that he got the idea for the character while going through a midlife crisis, while on the verge of turning 30. He later said that while he could tolerate the fact that his little brother was older than Spider-Man, the fact that he himself was getting older than Batman "was something that needed to be stopped."
Although All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder is printed under the All Star DC Comics imprint, it takes place in its own continuity outside of Grant Morrison's All Star Superman canon. According to Miller, All Star Batman is the same version of his character set in the continuity of The Dark Knight Returns (DKR), Year One (YO) and The Dark Knight Strikes Again (DKSA). However, this has proven difficult as DKR and DKSA are set in the late 1980s with an older Batman, while All Star Batman has a younger version of the character set in 2008. Out of all of these, Year One is the only one that exists in current DC continuity.
