As a Frank Miller fan, this is a conflicted issue for me.
On the one hand, I don't find anything too bad about this particular cover. Yes, it is sexy, but I don't see how sex itself objectifies women. I do agree that women are objectified in comics, I just don't think this cover or Frank Miller are the best examples of it.
On the OTHER hand, I did stop reading All-Star Batman & Robin after the second issue, feeling immense disappointment, and one of the reasons was that Frank spent five entire pages showing a girl in her underwear as opposed to progressing the plot.
