In the opening
words of this documentary film Christopher Lee as the narrator says that crime
is not something that is just there but a necessity - something that must exist
in the comic sheets because without it there is also a superhero. The existence
of the villain ... supervillain are figures that forces the superhero to react
to them. Without Lex Luthor or the other criminals commit their crimes then
Clark Kent will not turn into Superman. Just as Lex Luthor constantly thinking
how to master the world, how Brainiac and Darkseid kept thinking how devastating
is the world, Clark Kent turns into Superman must continue to stop them.
At first glance
the status of the film world today it is very easy to see that the central DC
is far far behind with rival Marvel. One reason is DC is said to have a
superhero too hard translated on screen than Marvel. But it does not apply to
the supervillain. To figure the supervillain DC has a rich collection of which
is not less to be dug. Almost all the world's major villains-villains such as
Lex Luthor DC, Brainiac, Joker, Bane, Sinestro, The Riddler, Reverse Flash, and
many others have a variety of motives that differ from each other.
What else makes
the supervillain is interesting to not only dig their character when it stands
alone, but how they are complementary with the superhero against them. Lex
Luthor example is the true antithesis of Superman. Why? Because if Superman is
an alien with super powers then Lex is a common man of genius who does not like
to hand over a man's destiny into the hands of an alien who acts like a god.
What happens if it suddenly decided god does not want to protect humans (as in
gameInjustice)? Or another example of a mentor-student relationship between
Sinestro and Hal Jordan are further transformed into a mortal enemy because of
differences in their principles.Please visit here
This documentary
was created by DC to promote their second biggest story arc this year: Forever
Evil where the world lost the Justice League superheroes who protect them and
totally dependent with the supervillain to work together to stop the new enemy.
Unfortunately this documentary does not provide anything new other than
repeating what is already known by most readers of comics. For comics readers
like me the information conveyed in this documentary is something that I either
own conclusions from reading DC comics, watching both the series Young Justice
cartoon style live-action or macamSmallville and Arrow, to play a variety of
games that are released.
What I think is
wasted in this documentary is how they spend too little time to explore the
figure of Wonder Woman. While many portions of this documentary tells the story
of Lex Luthor, Zod, Joker, Bane, even the Sinestro, Black Adam, Ocean Master is
too little time is used to tell the enemy of Wonder Woman. It is one of the
world's figure of trinity in DC but he has a rogue gallery that is not only
less competent with both colleagues trinity but also with other kinds of class
B superhero The Flash and Green Lantern.
The question is
why is that? Did DC is the home of many attractive women supervillain
characters like Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, and Star Sapphire? Is it so
difficult for them to create a dominant figure for Wonder Woman opponent other
than the girl's leopard cheetah (which in this documentary was not discussed at
all)? Currently Brian Azzarello is trying to expand the group Villain for
Wonder Woman and I hope he succeeds so that the results can be gleaned several
years to come.
Necessary Evil:
Super-Villains of DC Comics also invited a lot of comic writers, famous figures
such as actors, even a psychologist to comment in this documentary makes it
appear more like a commentary to the comics that I read so far. Geoff Johns for
example, tells why he chose some kind of dialogue in the Green Lantern comics
he wrote. Some things are subtle paste it in this new comic I know after
hearing his comments - made me increasingly appreciate the brilliance of this
one writer does when he was on fire. I'm sure if this documentary was watched
by those who are lay comic it is very likely they will be more interested to
dig into the rich world of DC comics.
