I believe that many fans know that Marvel movies have resumed shooting in Georgia, and the DC Universe movies here are naturally not far behind. On July 5, Beijing time, on the official website of Hollywood, DC announced their plan to return to Hollywood - the release of a celebratory version of "Detective Comics" in September, this 144-page anthology will be released in 1,000 issues since Batman was first released in 1939. It is really exciting to release a celebratory version when entering a thousand issues, or a special year in the special film and television industry in 2020. After debuting in the late 1930s, Batman is almost DC's signature character and will be the theme of the all-star celebration of Detective Comics No. 1027 in September this year, a super-large edition of the comic that showcases the contributions of creators in the development of DC superheroes.
In DC's return plan in Hollywood, it is also expected that the three generations of batmans are expected to reunite - Michael Keaton, who previously explicitly refused to star in "The Flash", Christian Bell, who played the role of "Batman" in 2005-12, has played the young version of Batman's little handsome david Mazoz in the 14-year TV series "Gotham", and the three are expected to reunite. However, the clever DC producers did not disclose which episode they will meet in, presumably to create suspense for the return plan. Peter Tomasi, one of Warner's creative directors, said: "I'm very annoyed every time I see a reporter saying that Michael [Keaton] in his sixties can't recreate Batman's style. Among these existing Batman actors, Michael is the most senior. ”
Indeed, since the death of Adam West, the protagonist of Batman: The Big Movie, in '66, Michael Keaton is indeed the oldest Batman actor in existence. In DC's return plan this time, the author (watching the movie with smug satisfaction) can see that it almost all revolves around Batman, which is almost the largest IP character in DC Comics and the film industry. The 144-page magazine will feature Greg Ruka, Tom King, Brian Michael Bendis, Infinite Earth Crisis writer Malf Wolfman, and others on the creation of the batman character. Among them, Laura Dean and the artists involved in the creation, including Walter Simonson, will appear in the celebratory edition of Detective Comics. In addition to these short stories, there will be a gallery of "tribute art" illustrators including Jose Luis Garcia-López, Jorge Jimnes and Jamal Campbell of dc television division.
A regular team of detective comics composed of Peter Tomasi and Brad Walker will also contribute a story to the issue — pouring into the 92nd birthday of the original Batman, Adam West, and commemorating the third anniversary of his death. Although the real first generation of Batman was Lewis Wilson, it was a Batman shorts released by Columbia in '49. But what really opened Batman's film market was undoubtedly Adam West's "Batman: The Big Movie" in 1966, the beginning of Hollywood color movies. Although there was no concept of DC Universe movies at that time, he undoubtedly opened the door to the superhero series of movies as a starring actor, and he was a character of a originator nature.
Now that three generations of Spider-Man are expected to reunite, it is not yet known which movie or series they will appear in, but Ben Abernathy, the screenwriter of the Batman Group, has also revealed that they will have a time-travel dialogue with Adam West, which may become a form of "cross-over drama" in Hollywood film. The big screenwriter said in a statement: "Detective 1027 is a huge undertaking, the most popular comic book magazine in Hollywood, and I'm really excited for fans to see paul Kaminsky and Dave Vilgos in September." Many writers and artists are putting their best work into the book, and fans should keep an eye on these stories, as some of them will sow seeds for the future of Batman and the Universe in Washington. ”
The celebratory version of Detective Comics was also filmed in film form, with the oversized Detective Comic #1000 released 18 months after its release, which continued to be the best-selling comic of 2019 in its original form; it was later re-released in the form of an independent hardcover version with additional materials. These return plans do not affect the progress of the original magazine, and Detective Comics No. 1027 will be released on September 15.
