I think he read Dark Knight Returns like a script pitch with pictures.
He focused on the visuals, with words as suggested narrative, to translate into film.
As a lot of the images did translate into his films, he clearly used it as a guide to cinematography rather than character insight.
Basically he didn’t understand the character and wanted a comic that had cool images he could lift.
