Today, let's talk about the American movie "Batman: Dragon Soul".
Title Batman: Soul of the Dragon (2021), alias Batman: Soul of the Dragon.
"Batman: Dragon Soul" is the 40th film in the DCUA original film series of DC Universe Animation, telling a story about Batman's early learning of martial arts.
The director is our old acquaintance, Sam Liu, who has shot many DCUA films.
One of the characteristics of this film is that it is original, and it is not adapted from any specific comic storyline.
The background of the story is set in the 1970s when the kung fu craze was on the rise. In that era, in addition to kung fu craze, there were also James Bond movies and cult movies. in the movie.
The characters in the film are based on cartoonist Denny O'Neil, who created Richard Dragon, Bronze Tiger and Lady Shiva in the comics ). In the film, they are Batman's brothers and sisters.
This time, Batman needs to face not only strange-looking enemies, but also evil creatures from other worlds.
A group of evil-worshiping guys formed the Cobra Gang, who wanted to unleash the evils of another world to rule the world.
Batman teamed up with his classmates who studied martial arts together to stop the Cobra Gang.
The two sides fought a battle, which ended in the victory of Batman and his partners.
Unlike previous Batman movies, Batman is no longer a dazzling star occupying the C position here.
Compared with his brothers and sisters, his kung fu has no advantage at all, and his intelligence has not reached the level of opening the whole process. On the contrary, he pays tribute to Bruce Lee's character Richard Long as the most dazzling boy. Changing the title to "Batman: A Tribute to Bruce Lee" is also good.
It's not a waste of 80 minutes to see Batman as Bruce Lee's footnote. Audiences who like Bruce Lee and Batman will be twice as happy.
The voices of Richard Long, Bronze Tiger and Mrs. Siva in the film are Mark Dacascos, Michael Jai White and Kelly Hu respectively.
These three actors are not specialized seiyuu actors, but professional action actors.
In the comics, Richard Long is a Caucasian.
In this film, he becomes Asian, and he is obviously imitating Bruce Lee, and his appearance, clothes, and movements are all trying to restore.
This is Michael Jay White's seventh time working on a DC project.
He had played the live-action Bronze Tiger in Arrow (2012), and this time he played Bronze Tiger again.
"Batman: Soul of the Dragon" makes no secret of its tribute to Bruce Lee. In addition to the action of Richard Dragon, the title subtitles are also paying tribute, and other characters in the film are also paying tribute to "Enter the Dragon" (Enter the Dragon, 1973). "Schlangenfaust" means "snake fist" in German.
The image of the bronze tiger is imitated by Williams (Williams) in "Dragon and Tiger Fight".
This film is also the seventh time that Kaili Hu has participated in a DC project.
She previously voiced Mrs. Siva in the game Batman: Arkham Origins (2013), and is reprising her role as Mrs. Siva.
The image design of O-Sensei is based on Master Po of the American TV series Kung Fu (1972), played by Keye Luke.
