In order to create the role of Batman, cartoonist bob kane made a lot of efforts. Batman now not only refuses to use guns, but also hates them. Because Batman's parents were shot, they refused to use guns in various anti-crime activities. But in the early comic version, Batman is more like Sherlock in a cloak, and his role orientation is more inclined to detective than superhero in fighting crime, so he will be equipped with a revolver every night patrol. But not long after it was published, bob kane changed this setting, because he always felt something was wrong with Batman without a gun.
2. The temptation of the innocent.
1954, Dr. Frederic Wertham, a German-American psychologist, published the book "Seduce the Innocent", claiming that the violent plot in cartoons would induce teenagers to imitate, which would lead to criminal behavior, because at that time, most cartoons were about crime and terror, and superhero cartoons were the best among them. Therefore, there is a saying that Batman contains homosexual content, and Batman and Robin are depicted as lovers in comics. There is no doubt that this kind of questioning is absurd. But some people think that if it weren't for this seemingly absurd question, the owner wouldn't be portrayed as what we know now in order to avoid suspicion.
3. hugh hefner's contribution
If there is anything besides blondes that can make HughHefner (the founder and editor-in-chief of the world-famous porn magazine * * *, and the chief creative officer of the * * * enterprise) full of * * *, it is only comics. Hefner once admitted that he was busy with the publication of magazines in his early years, and his only pastime was reading cartoons. Even in his later years, he was still keen on holding comedy-themed parties. 1965, at the Chicago Club, Hefner decided to hold a Batman-themed party to praise this gay cartoon.
At the party, he made the actors dress up as Batman and Robin, and recited Golly gee whiz from the comic book. Little did Hefner know that Yale Udoff, then the executive director of * * *, also attended the party. At the party, Udorf saw that everyone liked the lovely Batman and Robin, so he immediately called * * * and put forward the idea of making a TV program about Batman. It can be said that it was this opportunity that gave birth to the Batman TV series in the 1960s, which was full of gay feelings and was lovable.
4, the real name of those things.
As we all know, Batman's real name is Bruce Wayne, and Robin, the first junior assistant's real name is Dick Grayson. Later, many robins appeared in the comics, played by jason todd, Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown. People are also impressed by the bad guys in comics, such as Selena Kyle, the penguin character Oswald Coppert and edward nygma (alias E- Nigma in the play), ok? ), two-faced Harvey Dent (this role is popular again because of the recent movie) and Batman Bruce Wayne's old housekeeper, whose real name is alfred pennyworth.
And Joe Chill, the criminal who killed Batman's parents at the beginning of the cartoon. However, the most mysterious is the role of the clown. For many years, his origin has not been mentioned in cartoons, so his identity has always been a mystery. Until recently, we didn't know the clown's life story: the clown's real name was Jack Napier, and his surname was Alan Napier. He played the old housekeeper Alfred in the TV series Batman.
5. The first Batman movie
What was the first movie in history in which Batman appeared? Ordinary fans may say that it is the version directed by Tim Burton in 1990, while iron fans will categorically say that the first theatrical version is the version starring adam west in 1966. But in fact, the image of Batman first appeared on the big screen in 1964 in Batman Dracula directed and produced by andy warhol.
Although the negatives of this film have been lost for many years, and few people have seen it, it is certain that this film was co-produced by Warhol and his partner Gregory Badtke, and was not authorized by DC Comics Company at all. Therefore, only in the film Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis after Warhol can people see some remaining fragments of this film.
6. Batman in life
The story of Batman always causes people to talk. Anyone who hates evil and is full of expectations for social fairness and justice will look forward to the existence of such a night knight, wearing a shirt and sweeping away evil. Strangely, on the streets of Jackson, Michigan, a boy really dressed himself as Batman, but his identity has never been made public (superheroes are mysterious ~).
Legend has it that one day, Captain Jackson was fed up with street crimes near his home, so he decided to put on his cloak and patrol the streets to help local law enforcement agencies. This may sound crazy, but since Batman took to the streets, the crime rate in the neighborhood has really plummeted. Batman works closely with law enforcement agencies, but never confronts criminals, but reports to relevant departments in time once he finds suspected behavior; And indirectly crack down on criminal behavior by participating in some community service plans and safety awareness publicity activities. If you want to do evil in Jackson's street, be careful of Batman!
7. Where is Gotham?
At first, like contemporary comics, Batman's story was set in new york City. But in the later period, the author changed this setting and set the story in a fictional city to facilitate the subsequent plot. One day, the cartoonist came across a magazine about mobile phones and Gotham jewels, so he named Batman's hometown Gotham.
The location of Gotham has always been controversial. One view is that it is located on the east coast, and the other view is that it is located in the midwest, close to Superman's hometown metropolis. However, the general view is that Gotham is located on the east coast, or rather, it is located in New Jersey. Although it has never been explicitly mentioned in the cartoon, careful readers have noticed that the words "gotham city, New Jersey" appeared twice on the license plate of the vehicle in the cartoon.
8. Who do you think painted this? !
In the movie Batman directed by tim burton (1990), a reporter from gotham city was ridiculed by his colleagues because he was too obsessed with Batman, because in the eyes of most citizens, Batman was just a legend circulating in the streets. One day, the reporter received a sketch of a humanoid bat in a tuxedo, which was so ugly that a line was written on it: Have you seen this man? This made the reporter deeply annoyed. The next time I see this scene in a movie, the reporter presses the pause button and looks at the signature on the painting carefully. Yes, this sketch is the creator of Batman, bob kane! If anyone can find the original painting and sell it on Taobao, he won't have to sell his kidney to buy an iphone for decades to come.
9. "My stressful life"
199 1 year, Burt Ward, who played Robin in the movie Batman directed by adam west, wrote a book about his private life, the content of which was quite meaningless, and the title was Burt Ward: My Tight Life. This book has been severely criticized by the public, saying that its writing is surprisingly poor and its typesetting is too freehand. All the plots of the whole book can be summarized in two words.
In the book, Portward publicizes his strong physique, and describes his lingering ambiguity with adam west and countless women, even including his long-term feud with a * * *. In his works, the studio is always crowded with all kinds of women, providing necessary entertainment when they are miserable. He himself is naturally portrayed as the world's top masters of sex, while adam west is just a cotton candy, even if a slut lies in his arms, he can't stand up.
Adam west said in a later interview that he was not angry at all after reading this book, because he knew that no one would take these absurd contents seriously. He said: Potter may have been too short of money when he wrote this book. Portward later admitted that the publisher instigated him to make the book more interesting, and he admitted that most of the contents in the book were fabricated. Robin, your book is too * * *, does Batman know?
10, the sound of bats
Over the years, many Hollywood celebrities have played Batman, but who has played Batman the longest? The obvious answer is kevin conroy, who played Batman in seven cartoon TV series, six video games and five animated films, totaling 65,438+02 years. He is undoubtedly the spokesman of Batman in people's minds. With his years of understanding of Batman, he injected many innovative elements into the role of dubbing. In comics, whenever Batman puts on his cloak and cloak, he tries to hide his true self. Before Conley, all Batman actors also deliberately catered to Batman's cold characteristics. However, Kang Rui has found another way to interpret Batman's transformation from a crime fighter to a millionaire with different voices, making this role not only a knight galloping in the dark, but also a living Bruce Wayne.
