"Marvel Batman" is coming, since the announcement of the relevant shooting plans in 2018, it has now passed 4 years, and this "Moon Knight" is finally going to meet the audience. Marvel superhero American drama "Moonlight Knight" will start broadcasting on March 30 this year, which is Marvel's first American drama with a new character (never appeared in previous film and television works) as the protagonist, and Uncle Mei will talk to you about the role of Moonlight Knight.
Moonlight Knight's abilities
The image of Mark Spector in the comics
In the original book, the Moonlight Knight, whose real name is Marc Spector, is a mercenary who was beaten half to death by his employer (9/10 to be exact) and thrown into the desert to die during an Egyptian tomb excavation mission because of disagreement with his employer. With his tenacious will and strong physique, Mark climbed into the tomb and died.
Yes, you read that right, he's dead.
In the manga, the luna Kongsu, the head is a bird skull
However, the story is not over, and after the soul leaves the body, Mark meets the ancient Egyptian god Khonsu. Kong Su talked to Mark: "Otherwise, you don't die first, I will save you, and then you will be my messenger, and I can give you the ability to belong to the moon god." Mark listened, that feeling is good, not only do not have to die, but also can obtain superpowers, which is how many people dream of ah, so he gladly agreed, and then he lived again.
Luna is naturally a man of few words, and after his resurrection, Mark has gained superpowers - every night he will have more physical qualities than ordinary people, reflexes (stronger than ordinary people but weaker than night devils), can also see in the dark, and can use moonlight to heal wounds.
To say that Mark's superpower is very cattle when put into the real world, but when it is put into the comic book world, it will be... To paraphrase a popular saying now: Luna gave Mark superpowers, but did not give them all. After all, it can only be used at night, which is too restrictive, and the ability itself is not strong.
If nothing else, let's talk about the super physical fitness of this item, you see people Captain America, not only high intensity, but also all-weather, which like the Moonlight Knight still has to wait for the sun to set... However, Uncle Mei felt that in fact, the Moonlight Knight could try the card bug, constantly changing the time zone to ensure that he had been at night, wouldn't he be able to make the ability exist all the time?
Why is it called "Marvel Batman"
If you compare the superhero world to the entertainment industry, the ability and popularity of Moonlight Knight is at best a third-rate star, and it is not at all on the same order of magnitude as top-notch Batman. However, due to the ability of the Moonlight Knight, he can only fight through hand-to-hand combat or a small amount of equipment, and most of them fight at night, and also bear the name of a rich man, so he looks very similar to Batman.
However, batman fights at night because people like to fight at night, and moonlight knight fights at night because he can only fight at night, and although they are rich, there is still a big difference in everyone's assets... So Moonlight Knight's so-called "Marvel Batman" title is to say that this superhero is the most like Batman in Marvel, not that he is the "Batman" in Marvel.
The origin of the Moonlight Knight
Moonlight Knight makes his debut
Moonlight Knight first appeared in 1975's Night of werewolves, and the moonlight knight who debuted was not a good person, but appeared as a villain. Due to the pleasing design, at the request of fans, Moonlight Knight successively "cameoed" in various comics, and it was not until 1980 that he had the first comic of his own, that is, the first issue of "Moonlight Knight".

However, due to the character's own ability, since the first Moonlight Knight series began in 1980, the manga has undergone many cancellations in the middle, and it was not serialized until the fifth part in 2011. It can be seen that deeply cultivating vertical fields sometimes faces the problem of too small an audience.
About the American drama version of "Moonlight Knight"
Oscar Isaac
The American version of "Moonlight Knight" is played by Oscar Isaac, who played the villain Apocalypse in "X-Men: Apocalypse", and is also an old acquaintance of Marvel-related film and television works. In the recently released Dune, Oscar Isaac played the male protagonist's father, Duke Leto Atreides.
Ethan Hawke
In addition, Veteran Hollywood actor Ethan Hawke also starred in "Moonlight Rider", although the role he played has not been disclosed, but the possibility that Ethan Hawke will play the villain in the play is very high.
Speaking of episodes, because the Moonlight Knight in the comic belongs to the "fist to flesh" type of fighting style, the scenes are mostly very bloody, but because the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a film and television work facing all ages, as an American drama, "Moonlight Knight" will certainly not reproduce the comic in the scene, but it will certainly be larger than the "family fun" type of "Hawkeye".
