Zorro’s name is not unfamiliar to some people. As one of the first masked volunteers in movie history, it can be said to be a patriarchal existence in the history of superheroes.

This hero who likes to leave the Z-shaped logo was born in 1919. Zorro’s story is set in 1781 to 1821 when Spain occupied California.

Zorro’s father was the most famous rich man in the area. Zorro, the rich second representative, was ignorant of knowledge and skill, but in secret he went everywhere under the name of Zorro.

His acting style and heroic spirit inspired the creation of a subsequent series of comic superheroes.

Superman, Batman, and Spiderman are all influenced by Zorro, especially Batman, who has a masked appearance, and he is positioned as a man of justice as a child of the rich family.

Even Batman’s Batmobile is inspired by Zorro’s mount.

As one of the earliest and most famous heroes, Sony should have a long-term plan for this role.

According to foreign media reports, this restart will return to the origin of Zorro, which is Zorro’s first appearance in 1919 in the story “The Curse of Capistrano”.

When this story was republished, it was consistent with the 1920 movie and was called “The Mark of Zorro”.

And this is also the most sold one of Zorro’s related novels, with 50 million copies sold, making it one of the highest-selling novels in history.
