Earth Toku By ginovanta Watch

My entry for a contest held last year by RW edizioni,the italian publisher of Dc universe comics,wich consisted in creating a new earth of one of the DC multiverses.

Being both a dc comics and japanese tokusatsu fans i imagined an earth inspired by the latters,in wich superman and doomsday are influenced by ultraman and the kaiju genre,hawk and dove are a super sentai-like team,blue beetle is a kamen rider and he metal men are of course metal heroes (a la gavan,sharivan etc);there is also a magical girl version of zatanna and a piloted mecha version of red tornado.

At the beginning i thought about including the most famous heroes of the dc pantheon but then i decided to use only the ones who would fit the best with the japanese concepts.The earth designation would be "Earth 54",a nod to the fact that the first godzilla movie (wich started the tokusatsu genre) was dated 1954.

There's no need to say that, since the tokusatsu genre is not widely known or appreciated in italy, i did not win ^D^



Here's the description provided to them:

"Known also as Earth-Toku,on this world Japan is the last landmass left above sea level and it is populated by spandex-clad heroes who destroy evil with almighty explosions! Meet Buru Beeto, Majokko senshi Zatanna, Takaman & Hatogirl-the chojin duo, Prof. Hiro Hokamura's Metaru Men, great robo Reddo Torunedo,Kuripton Kyojin Supaman and others"
