AND THE CITIZEN WAYNE

WATER! THIS NOTE IS SPOILERS

Question: Ever Batman has recreated one of the greatest classics of cinema?

Answer: Si. The film which pays homage is "Citizen Kane", directed by Orson Wells. Appeared in number 21 of the now defunct comic strip "The Batman Chronicles" in the summer of 2000. The cartoonist was Michael Gaydos, and the writer, none other than the now "proxy" Marvel: Brian Michael Bendis.


"ROSEBUD"
"Citizen Kane" (1941) is one of the great masterpieces of cinema. He has been honored, imitated and parodied ad nauseum ... of course, could not miss the version that starred the defender of Gotham City.

"Citizen Kane" tells the story of the tycoon the press Charles Foster Kane, who before his death he said "Rosebud" ... the last word triggered a storm of controversy, both in viewers and in the reporter Jerry Thompson, who will be responsible for bringing to light what or who is "Rosebud ". In this way we meet the complex life of Kane, through interviews conducted by Thompson to everyone who knew the millionaire ... however, the tenacious journalist ever know the meaning of that word. Only

viewer knows: this is the sled with the child playing Kane.



THE LAST WORD OF BRUCE WAYNE
"The Batman Chronicles "series, which lasted from 1995 to 2001 and whose frequency was quarterly, presents three stories of the Batman universe, whether he starred for his" batifamilia "by his enemies, by the Police Department city \u200b\u200bor simply for the people of Gotham City.

had funny stories, prose stories, tragic stories ... we had hitherto unpublished sources of some enemies of Batman, as Zsasz, and also "Elseworlds (DC Comics editorial line that offers alternative realities of the heroes, as Superman in the Middle Ages or a Green Lantern starring in "The Thousand and One Nights "). In this line, we have "Citizen Wayne."

turns out that in this story of Bendis, Wayne has just died, and said his last word is, of course, "Rosebud." So a publisher assigns his best reporter to discover who or what that is.

Over six pages with six panels on each one, read this interesting Elseworld totally black and white ... as if we were really seeing the Wells classic.

So the journalist visit a burlesque dancer with whom Wayne had an affair, dressed in cat, and is called Selina. Meet Dick Grayson, who is old and is in a box Robin's costume, a commissioner Gordon denies any connection with the mysterious word. Even the reporter visits the Joker in Arkham Asylum, who does not say a word.

By the way ... Who is the reporter? A little fact: his name is Kent!
Finally, Kent contact a tall, thin man, who was the Wayne family butler (yes ... we all know who) and reveals the origin of the word: it is the mark of the gun that killed parents Wayne.

A tribute to a classic. A history of Batman. A sequential narrative short ... but unforgettable.
