10 anthologies not to be missed for comics and manga fans
Batman he needed a villainthat villain could only be the Joker. Jack Nicholson was already an absolute starone of the cinematic faces par excellence and it can certainly be argued that from a certain point of view, having chosen him for the role of nemesis par excellence of the Dark Knight, for the most iconic villain in comic book history, served to counterbalance the skepticism of some of the public for Keaton’s choice. The in-depth study of the character, also inextricably connected to the characterization he had made of it in the TV series Cesar Romero, bore fruit. This Joker begins as a criminal on the verge of a nervous breakdown, a Charming, ambitious, narcissistic gangster but still human, normal so to speak.

This Gotham City it was just not similar to the one conceived by Bob Kanegothic and dark, it is inside the legacy of hard boiled atmospheres and European noirwith veins cyberpunk very notable. A kind of all-encompassing uchronia. Season everything with an incredible soundtrack by Danny Elfman and Prince, and here you will have the perfect cinecomic, capable of attract both die-hard fans and the general public.

Among the lightning-fast lines of his villain is a beautiful one Kim Basinger However, Michael Keaton managed to become the most complete Batman of all time. He still is today despite his scant centimeters and kilos, he was so because he was armed with a monumental cinema face, with that jaw which, under a 15 kg costume, still manages to inspire more fear and charm than any other interpreter who imitated him. More importantly, Michael Keaton beyond build a source of inspiration as far as the archetype of the modern cinematic superhero is concerned, going beyond the obligatory crystallization of Christopher Reeve, he has been able to be not only a great Batman, but also a fantastic Bruce Wayne.
