The Shadow (1994) - The World’s First Superhero, The Grandfather Of The Marvel Universe, And The Inspiration For Batman! Part One

Join Rob & Will as they examine the world’s first superhero, The Shadow! We travel back to a world before Superman, before Batman and before the Marvel Universe, to explore the world’s first costumed vigilante hero! We’ll take you behind the page to a time before comic books, we’ll look at the history of Pulp Fiction, and how The Shadow inspired virtually every superhero that came later (especially Batman)! We’ll go behind the scenes to learn about the Orson Welles radio show that introduced the world to the first-ever superhero, the forgotten Shadow movies, and how Hollywood hoped the 1994 Alec Baldwin film would be the start of a new franchise! Plus, we’ll investigate why it failed at the box office! We’ll also explore The Shadow’s different identities and origins, his powers, his gadgets and sidekicks, and his crazy comic book history!
