The world's first superhero is the subject of my newest painting!

Did you know❓ 👉 Ōgon Bat (Japanese: 黄金 バット, Hepburn: Ōgon Batto, literally "Golden Bat") is a Japanese superhero created by Suzuki Ichiro and Takeo Nagamatsu in 1931 who originally debuted in a kamishibai (paper theater). 👉 Ōgon Bat is considered by some to be the world's first superhero, and is a precursor to later superhero characters such as the Japanese kamishibai character Prince of Gamma (debut early 1930s), and the American comic book characters Superman (debut 1938) and Batman (debut 1939). 👉 Ōgon Bat was created by sixteen-year old Takeo Nagamatsu and twenty-five year old Suzuki Ichiro in 1931 and was named after the Golden Bat cigarette brand. The two were inspired by drawings of mythological characters in Tokyo's Ueno Royal Museum to create a new hero based on science rather than mythology. The character debuted in a kamishibai, a type of traveling show in which a sequence of pictures are shown, narrated by a storyteller. 👉 The character was popular enough to survive the decline of kamishibai following World War II, and was eventually adapted into manga (including one by Osamu Tezuka) and anime. 👉 The character featured in three live-action movies: Ôgon Bat: Matenrô no Kaijin, released in 1950; Ôgon Batto, released in 1966; and the comedy biopic Ôgon Batto ga Yattekuru, released in 1972. He also appeared in a 52-episode anime series that aired on Nippon TV from 1967 to 1968. #Hero #Superhero #superheroine #superheroes #Action #Adventure #comic #power #sciencefiction #fantasy #character #黄金バット #Tokusatsu #ogonbat #SacredGuardianSinga #comic #power #特撮 #Asia #Japanese #sciencefiction #fantasy #kaiju #Godzilla #Gamera #KamenRider #MetalHero #mecha #Ultraman #SuperSentai https://www.instagram.com/p/CICV-pFhkQO/?igshid=w7zgkeo6ruw1

A Movie for Christmas Day 2019

Ōgon Batto (The Golden Bat, 1966)

Today’s themes: Capes, Super Destruction Beam Cannons, Machines that go PING!, Theremins, “Holy crap! Earth is in danger!”

Remember when you were a kid and believing you could be the heroes you saw on TV? Me, being old, I have a collection of heroes that I and my brother and his best friend Tony and my best friend Steve would go to the field near our houses (really just a very large vacant dirt lot) and act out all our favorite shows. Star Trek, The Wild Wild West, Flipper, Thunderbirds Are Go, even Lost in Space. They were varying degrees of lame, let’s be honest, with terrible special effects, men in rubber suits pretending to be monsters and villains, cool vehicles, even cooler wardrobes, and overwrought acting and plots ripe for replaying among the tumbleweeds and discarded mattresses as if we were on some amazing outer space planet fighting enemies bent on our destruction.

It’s often hard to remember what that felt like, that we could be heroes as easily as that, but it was mostly because the things we saw were…cheap. Easily mimicked, and simple to make believe into reality using cardboard boxes for lairs and old sheets for capes and ketchup for blood. In a way, computer-generated effects have ruined all that. Films and TV shows look too good now, and take themselves too fucking seriously. What we all need — kids and grown ups alike — is to remember what really crappy, really cool, really outlandish and exciting entertainment was. And in that spirit, I present to you Ōgon Batto (The Golden Bat 1966) in all its original amazing black-and-white glory.

I need to fill you in on some important stuff about Ōgon Batto the character before we dive into Ōgon Batto the motion picture. There is some confusion and learned discourse concerning who is the first superhero, and what a superhero is. For example, is Robin Hood a superhero? He’s certainly a hero, but does anything make him super? He can shoot arrows really well, and that’s all that makes Hawkeye a superhero. Is Black Widow a superhero? She can kick ass really, really well, but she has no super powers. She can’t fly and she can’t melt steel beams with her eyes. Still, it’s generally agreed that the first real superhero debuted in 1931 and was created by Suzuki Ichiro and Takeo Nagamatsu (who was 16 years old at the time), seven years before Superman ever leaped a tall building. Ōgon Batto is an ancient being from Atlantis who was sent forward in time 10,000 years to battle the forces of evil in present day Japan.

Ōgon Batto, the film, is an origin story from Toei Company and stars Sonny Chiba in a skull mask and very awesome cape and collar as the titular hero. The villain of the film, intent on destroying Earth by altering the orbit of planet Icarus and send it crashing into us, is Nazo, “the ruler of the universe,” who is apparently a giant four-eyed rat-squirrel (in the world’s loosest furry rat-squirrel costume) with one mechanical claw hand who really, really enjoys laughing maniacally and being just generally mean. To be fair, The Golden Bat, who appears on an island and must be resurrected from his 10,000-year slumber by pouring water on his chest (pretty simple!), also enjoys laughing maniacally while pointing his walking stick? I think? And flapping his cape about and generally being awesome.

There’s a secret organization that protects the Earth, there’s a super smart scientist who invents the only weapon strong enough to destroy Icarus and ruin Nazo’s evil plans, there’s the scientist’s granddaughter who forms a special bond with Ōgon Batto that super-annoys Nazo, though pretty much everything super-annoys Nazo. That is until he introduces us to his equally evil henchmen, Keloid, Piranha, and Jackal! That’s when things get really intense, what with masquerading as good guys and infiltrating headquarters and using flying submarines and whatnot.

But why spoil any more of this forgotten classic? If this film were rebooted by Michel Gondry today it wouldn’t look any different. The effects are simple but effective, the acting is melodramatic and overwrought, the action is breakneck and involves a lot of running, and I defy any kid of around six years old to watch this and not want to don their own skull mask and walking stick and start kicking alien butt.
