Warning : Contains spoilers for Zatanna : institute Down the House # 2 !
Summary
In the world of DC Comics , it ’s not just superheroes with capes that exist , but magicians and wizard and undercover society . One of these fresh - introduced smart set is an ancient charming cult thatZatannastumbles into , and it ’s like nothing lover have ever seen before , which is precisely why I think it would tally dead into the newDC Universemovies that James Gunn is creating .
Zatanna is getting a twist on her own origin storyinZatanna : work Down the House , a DC Black Label series by Eisner - winning writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Javier Rodríguez . In the second return , Zatanna , the girl of a celebrated magician , strike that her father was a part ofmystical society of magicians who occupy in the so - shout out Palace of the Casters .
Going on design alone , this gild is one of the mostvisually stunning comic atmospheresI’ve ever seen , and I ca n’t help but suppose how it would await on the big screen — especially considering how it clear shoot inspiration from that same big screen .
The Design of Metropolis Makes Its Way into Zatanna’s World
Not the Superman City — the Film
The Palace of the Casters owes its blueprint to a illustrious piece of graphics : the filmMetropolis . Metropolisis a 1927 science - fiction silent film that still define the very genre . At the time of its release , the movie also tug the gasbag of what was potential in cinema , creating a Modern brand of retro - futurism that is still part of plastic film and comic Holy Writ today . I cogitate Zatanna ’s unexampled hole-and-corner society look just like the filmic Metropolis , with its staggering heights and otherworldly atmosphere . Merely that the design pay homage to this photographic film shows me it ’s sodding for a photographic film adaptationand would fit right intoGunn ’s novel DC franchise .
Zatanna ’s hot costume yet has just dropped in official nontextual matter for her new Black Label series , and it ’s bind to become a top pick for cosplayers .
James Gunn’s Phase One of the DCU IsGods and Monsters
Gunn’sSupermanPremieres in 2025
In a cinematic world of gods and monsters , there must be magic like this .
Gunn is n’t start the raw DC Universe from the very root , with a billionaire boy in an alleyway and a baby Kryptonian in a space pod , but has elect to originate in the middle of the story . Just as one might jump into comedian and discover the mankind already render , so thisMetropolis - like fad is thoroughgoing for Gunn ’s already constitute world . In a cinematic earth of deity and teras , there must be magic like this , as well as ancient societies . I’m tired of seeing Superman ’s origin a hundred metre over , and Gunn is furbish up this withhis newSupermanmovie — but I think he can do the same for other heroes , like Zatanna .
So many good world - edifice moments are miss out on just for another failed pedigree movie to premiere . But take on fromZatanna : Bring Down the House , I reckon Gunn has the chance to do something no other amusing book movie has done by trusting the audience to not ask an source story and instead expanding the traditional knowledge that fan like me already sleep together . Gunn is preparing the world for gods and fiend in theDC Universe , but I ’m await for a magic show . There ’s no well berth to start than withZatannain the Palace of the Casters .
