Movie Review: Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics


After going to the library, I came across this DVD: Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics, which is a documentary on the life of DC Comics (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc.), and was narrated by Ryan Reynolds (played in the new Green Lantern film). This movie showed the start of DC to what it is today. The documentary went through the golden age to the modern age, and talked about it's different publishers like Vertigo, etc. It talked about how the world shaped the comics and also how they've evolved over the years with authors like Frank Miller and Alan Moore, and also talked about the different type of media that has been used to share the experience. All and all I really found this a fascinating movie that gave me some history I didn't know about, and helped me learn how this great company came about. I'd recommend this for anyone who enjoys comics and likes documentaries. Thanks for reading and please follow the blog.
