Hello everyone, today I will give you a look at the origin story of Batman, "Batman: The First Year".
In fact, like everyone else, when I first read this comic, I couldn't read it at all.
In this era of entertainment diversification, people have too many ways to make themselves happy.
Whether it is a movie or a game, their graphic impact and story appeal have more advantages than comics.
It's a very impetuous world, so sometimes we need to calm down.
Batman: Year One was published in 1987, and the style of painting more than 30 years ago makes many people unable to watch it at all.
In fact, everyone can understand this kind of thing, and appreciating art is a gradual process.
But when you really calm down and be full of taste, this comic is really too good to look at!
Just like those Chinese teachers let primary school students read those profound world masterpieces,
Normally they probably simply can't understand what the author is trying to say.
So I rarely recommend this comic to anyone who's just getting into a pit DC.
Why is Batman: Year One the Most Classic Batman Origin Story?
Here I will give you a suggestion first, friends who can't read the comic can go to see the animated movie of the same name,
After all, the realistic style of painting from many years ago is really difficult for many people to accept.
Although this is a Batman origin story, it is written in the perspective of Director Gordon.
"A dark and decaying metropolis, which seems to have endless secrets!"
It's Gotham, the worst city in the world, with no hope or pity.
But when a monster dressed as a bat appears in the city, everything changes.
The young Bruce Wayne was faced with a choice, and the classic plot was from Batman: The First Year.
He was treated as a villain for his heroic deeds, and the police shooting left him seriously injured.
"Father, I'm afraid I'm going to die like this tonight..."
Bruce Wayne's heart was filled with pain and disappointment at this moment, and he spent 18 years traveling the world looking for a way to save Gotham City.
Gods, sorcery, kung fu, magic... There is nothing in the world that can save the city.
"I've been waiting for 18 years, I've been waiting too long!"
But an intruding bat made him feel more terrified than ever.
The experience of falling into a deep pit in childhood made bats the animals that Bruce feared the most.
At this moment, he learned the way to save the city: "Let others fear himself!" ”
"Yes, Father, I should be a bat!"
So Bruce Wayne's heart rekindled, and he shook the bell calling to the old butler.
As soon as he heard this, the old butler would bandage Bruce (rescue or something) so that he would not lose too much blood.
So this plot is constantly being homed in the comics because it's so classic.
With the exception of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen, other comics have barely reached this depth.
And the reason why the classic becomes a classic is because no matter how many times you read it, you will be impressed by the plot,
Whether it's a painting style problem or a long time ago, it's enough to keep everyone hooked.
"It's not easy to be the world's greatest superhero!"
