#3 The Mask of Zorro
Yes, there are comics depicting the Fox himself, but the character originated in serial magazines first. Comics featuring the character wouldn’t arrive until decades after the films became audience favorites, so there you have it.
And then there’s The Mask of Zorro, the literal continuation of Diego de la Vega’s (Anthony Hopkins) heroic story as seen from the book and comics, only this time with his successor in mind (Antonio Banderas). It’s the classic passing of the torch that pays just as much tribute to the best of the swashbuckling classics of the original Zorro film era as it does Johnston McCulley’s original stories.
The movie deftly tackles the familiar archetype of a superhero in service to the people, even at the expense of his personal life. Being Zorro cost Diego everything, and that’s just how the movie begins. It’s a compelling tale in that the consequences are telegraphed from the start and are never taken for granted. Alejandro’s journey from bandit to hero is a masterful foil to Diego’s effortless charm and combative mastery, making them one of the best “Batman and Robin” pairings on the big screen yet.
