Taste Batman Manga
Manga influence was remarkable. The genre that gave birth to Osamu Tezuka as "The God of Manga" has become a genre to reckon with in the world comics industry.
In the Let's Read Comics (IndieComic.com site, July 7, 2004) Mustaqim Karna said, is an artist Rakuten Kitazawa (1876-1955) who later popularized the term 'manga' as meaning to the cartoon and comic strip in Japan in the Sunday newspaper supplement Jiji Shinpou. In 1918 he founded Kourakukai Manga, a Japanese cartoonist association. Kitazawa was a pioneer of modern Japanese comic strip. Now cartoons / caricatures and manga, each having its world in contemporary Japanese art.
In the present manga become a global trend in the comics industry. Cartoons and animation industry Japan from for children, teens, adults and even hientai category (pornography with sex and violence mengkomikkan) made with a sense of manga. Japanese anime films have also started to get a place in the ratings box office overseas. Look aired cartoons on every cable and private television stations. Surely some of them showing anime-manga in the middle of production of Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, or Walt Disney. Filmmakers Quentin Tarantino and even incorporate elements of anime and manga in the film Kill Bill Vol.1 (2003). Before Kill Bill, classic science fiction film Metropolis ever recycled in the form of anime-manga Japanese.
Could not help stereotypical manga was endemic in the development of Indonesian local comics. Senior comic creator Hans Jaladara Flag Skull legendary series is one of our local comic manga influenced. Some of his work up to now can be seen in the magazine Christian spiritual children, Kita.
Well, we already know the influence of manga in various lines and points. But, what happens when Batman that in fact the production of DC Comics, one of the giants of American comic manufacturer Kia Asamiya drawn manga style? Disturbing question, is this a sign of American superhero comics "to its knees" by the Japanese manga? Or, conversely Japanese manga is being "invaded" America superhero? Perhaps this impression that first come to mind when looking at the comic Batman: Child of Dreams (M & C!, 2004). Moreover, it is clear, the influence of anime or manga middle endemic ranging from the production sector through the creation of local comic artists. Comics Batman: Child of Dreams is not a regular comic. Japanese edition published comic Kodansha Ltd.. under a license other than DC Comics presents Batman with a sense lunge manga, also presents an irony no less powerful as the original version of Batman.
This comic tells the journey of Japanese journalist, foreign correspondent named Yuko Yage. This beautiful journalist went to interview Batman Gotham. Gotham City is known in Japan as the center of this criminal has a prominent protective figure, Batman. Once there, Yuko Batman fans who are looking forward to the important moments that can bring Batman. Not unexpectedly Uncle Yuko, Kenji Tomioka develop a new type of drug, an antidote that can make people be like a dream. This drug was originally used to bring Tomioka mock Batman's enemies as strong as the original Catwoman, Penguin and The Riddler. This is a dangerous drug that originally was Tomikoa Batman fans. Tomioka even secretly want to be a real Batman. Batman fierce battle ensued with a replica of his enemies to deal with figures like Batman himself.
To Readers Adults
Kia Asamiya senior Japanese manga illustrator, comics creator is a fan of Batman. Instead he was moved to make sense of the manga Batman when Batman movie that made filmmakers Tim Burton Batman stirring to make a different interpretation. Tim Burton himself when treating Batman to the big screen makes the film a bleak, very different from previous versions of Batman movies.
"It brought me back like American comics, especially Batman," said Asamiya when asked about the making of Batman: Child of Dreams. Batman Asamiya version was first circulated in Magazine Z magazine published by Kodansha comics anthology. After the story in the magazine gradually completed, then write an into 2 volumes Kodansha comics called graphic novels. The term 'graphic novel' because the number of pages is relatively thicker than regular comics. Interestingly, Yukio figures described as being Batman fans travel to abroad for journalistic tasks (like interviewing Batman and Gotham millionaire Bruce Wayne) and then washed in a crime that is happening in Gotham.
Yukio actually have memories with Batman when his family in America. Small Yukio and his family had saved Batman from terror criminals rob him. Since then Yukio love with Batman, even fall in love with a costumed hero bat. As for the meeting with his uncle Yukio occurs when the uncle who wants to play along with millionaire Bruce Wayne to develop a new type of cancer drug research.
Yukio character portrayal and uncle who incidentally Batman fans of the two sides described so brilliantly by Asamiya. If Yukio just "puppy love" like a girl in love with a singer boysband, while the favorite uncle, Tomioka is love psychopaths who actually wanted to be Batman. Tomioka who successfully developed a new type of drug that put others to be a mock enemy Batman, also made a mock various accessories ranging from Batman Bat Mobile (Batman car) to Bat Cave, home of Batman. Kegilaanya developed to preserve the original Batman as goods memorabilia museum.
The creation of two contrasting love nature, one soul irregularities while others are "puppy love" can be termed as a psychological reflection Asamiya as fans of Batman. The other figure Asamiya love leads to madness like a multiple discoveries of a creator, namely the desire to create a figure Tomioka after creating enemies Batman and Batman headquarters. Maybe it can be concluded at least in the view of the psychological, because so love Asamiya tells Batman that he chose his own way.
Although this is not one of Batman comics, Child of Dreams is not a comic for kids. Publisher M & C! label it a "D" on the cover which means the comic is intended for adult readers.
Effect of Inter-Nation
Indeed keterpengaruhan meetings and among nations (in this case the United States and Japan) in the work is not new. Before comics, Godzilla Toho production Ltd. which is famous Japanese monster character adapted Hollywood. Adaptation Hollywoodnya become more tense, especially the changing nature of Godzilla in his native country who worship the children become the victims of horrible monsters super mutants were prepared engulfed everything.
In Kill Bill Vol.1, filmmaker Quentin Tarantino recruited renowned animator anime flashback scene to treat the history of O-Ren Ishii. In addition to anime, Kill Bill is Tarantino's favorite interpretation of the Shaw Brothers kung fu movies and Japanese samurai. The film which is a merchandise Animatrix The Matrix trilogy story is also mixed with some Japanese anime style. When golden Godzilla peak late 1970's, Godzilla vs movie ever made. Kong with Japan's favorite monster Godzilla pitted against Kingkong homemade Edgar Wallace of America. As for the comic, Child of Dreams could be called the first meeting between the nations in the realm of comics after the movie and animation.
After reading 338 pages thick comic is also included original sketches Kia Asamiya who later developed the publisher Kodansha. There are also images dialogues developed Max Allan Collins, comic graphic novel Road to Perdition so this comic could reach American readers. Because the Japanese read from right to left, art work for the American version to be reversed left to right. With the inclusion of sketch shows this comic process of unmitigated. Asamiya even traveled to New York as a research overview of the city as well as to meet the publisher Gotham Batman, DC Comics.
The move was commendable publishing comics as comics as an effort to look respectable visual art like painting, sculpture, and graphic arts. Because Batman in his native country has become a mass product as it exists and the "life" of the community of fans, not unlike Batman Superman figure in the realm of semiotics hiperealitas like Umberto Eco word expert.
Perhaps this aspect needs to be developed so that the notion of art in Indonesia ideology openly with other forms of art so that results can be achieved more communicative. Even when necessary, between nations as well as the achievement of this comic. Yes, the comic Batman: Child of Dreams is not only a Kia Asamiya interpretation only, but a comic visual arts achievement among nations represented American and Japanese comics publishers. *
