Sadly, no. There is a Treasure Room, though. It contains an assortment of trinkets that would make Batman AND Superman blush: 1. The diamond drinking cup of Alexander the Great 2. King Arthur's sword, Excalibur 3. The mummified asp that Cleopatra used to commit suicide 4. The golden laurel wreath (coronet) Mark Antony gave to Julius Caesar 5. Roland's horn 6. Charlemagne's crown 7. The love potion of Tristan and Isolde 8. Cleopatra's wedding ring 9. The golden flower 10. Roland's sword, Durandal 11. The tiny ark (from Noah's ark) 12. The original script of Shakespeare's Hamlet 13. The great ring of Nebuchadnezzar 14. The necklace of Nefertiti 15. The lyre of blind poet Homer 16. The wig worn by the 3rd Phantom when he played Juliet in the original presentation of Romeo and Juliet 17. The pen used by Shakespeare to write Romeo and Juliet 18. The crown of the great black emperor Joomkar
Also, there is a library and The Chronicle Chamber which contains the written journals of the first 20 Phantoms.
And while Bats has that super-cool T-Rex model, The Phantom has-on his vacation retreat/animal sanctuary "The Ilse of Eden" a living Stegosaurus. Oh! and a Bigfoot.
Yeah, the movie was entertaining, but not a huge success. A lot of hard-core Phans were very disappointed by it. Personally, I like it!
Of course, The Phantom has had a 1940's adventure serial and a big-budget Hollywood film. Aquaman, on the other hand... Well, you can always watch Waterworld and pretend.
Before there was Superman or Batman or Spider-Man, there was The Phantom. Playwright and cartoonist Lee Falk introduced The Phantom to the world in 1936.
Since then, The Phantom has run continuously in newspapers around the world, gaining a following in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand. He has spawned films adaptations, paperback novels, an animated television show and several comic book series.
I have been drawn to the Phantom by his unique backstory-one of the best in sequential media. This blog will let me share with others the exciting world of "The Ghost Who Walks, Who Cannot Die...The Phantom!!"

Whew! If they had shown half of that in the movie, it would have been a bigger hit.

ReplyDeleteNo, no you can't. Aquaman does *not* drink his own urine, ever!
Drink, no. However, I'm fairly sure he breathes his and everyone else's urine on a daily basis. ;)
