Author Nick Jones
Vive la acción, el drama y la aventura del cine de DC.

Este libro de DC ofrece un recorrido indispensable por la historia del cine de DC, desde las pioneras películas de la década de los 40 que llevaron por primera vez a Batman y Superman a la gran pantalla, hasta las aventuras del Cruzado Enmascarado en los 60 y el icónico Superman de los 70, pasando por el Caballero Oscuro, el Hombre de Acero y la Mujer Maravilla de nuestro siglo XXI.

Observa cómo los personajes, las localizaciones, los trajes y las armas de DC se han adaptado del papel a la pantalla y han evolucionado a lo largo de las décadas. Sé testigo de cómo algunos de los mejores actores del mundo, como los ganadores del Premio de la Academia Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, Christian Bale, Nicole Kidman, Joaquin Phoenix, Viola Davis y otros, se transforman en superhéroes, supervillanos y personajes secundarios de su época.


Entra en el mundo de las películas de DC y descubre datos poco conocidos mientras exploras imágenes de películas, diseños de personajes, escenarios y guiones gráficos impresionantes. Todo esto, junto con un texto atractivo que ofrece información sobre el rico legado cinematográfico de DC, convierten a este libro en la obra de referencia que todos los fanáticos de las películas de DC han estado esperando.
