Batman: White Knight mastermind Sean Murphy is teaming with Massive Publishing to reboot Zorro, and ScreenRant has an exclusive first look.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The legendary Zorro is getting a modern reboot in a new series from Batman: White Knight mastermind Sean Murphy and Massive Publishing. The series, titled Zorro: Man of the Dead, presents a bold new vision of a pop culture icon, one that both honors the spirit of the original while looking forward to the future.
Today, Massive Publishing kicked off their Kickstarter campaign for Zorro: Man of the Dead. Sean Murphy described Zorro: Man of the Dead as “Don Quixote meets Narcos.” A young boy living in Mexico watches as his parents are gunned down in front of him by the local cartels. As a coping mechanism, he begins to relate to Zorro. He learns how to fight with a sword and launches a one-man war against the cartels who hold his village in the grip of terror.
Zorro is an Important Figure In Hispanic Representation Massive Publishing CEO Michael Calero was excited about the project, citing Zorro’s important role in Hispanic representation. Calero, who is a Hispanic writer and editor, was “honored” to have other Hispanic artists, such as Humberto Ramos and Joe Quesada contribute to the project. Calero also cited Zorro’s influence on other characters in popular culture.
Zorro Also Influenced Pop Culture--Including Batman and Superman Indeed, Zorro is a highly influential figure, having inspired the creators of a number of classic superheroes. Zorro was created by pulp novelist Johnston McCulley in 1919 and was an overnight sensation. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the creators of Superman drew inspiration from Zorro, as did Batman’s creators Bill Finger and Bob Kane.
Sean Murply Is the Ideal Creator to Reboot Zorro Sean Murphy is the perfect creator to bring Zorro into the modern era. His iconoclastic Batman: The White Knight books perfectly flipped the script on the Dark Knight and his world, and Murphy is now going to do the same for Zorro. Just as the original Zorro fought for the oppressed, this new version takes on the narcos that have seized control of his village and killed his parents.
