WATCHMEN- Nite Owl II

Nite Owl II (Dan Dreiberg) Nite Owl is Dan Dreiberg, a retired superhero who utilizes owl-themed gadgets, in a manner which led Dave Gibbons to consider him “an obsessive hobbyist… a comic’s fan, a fanboy.”[8] Nite Owl was broadly based on the Ted Kord version of the Charlton superhero Blue Beetle. Drawing on the history of the Charlton character’s multiple incarnations, Moore also incorporated an earlier adventurer who used the name “Nite Owl”, the retired crime fighter Hollis Mason, into Watchmen.[2] While Moore devised character notes for Gibbons to work from, the artist provided a name and a costume design for Hollis Mason he had created when he was twelve.[7] Richard Reynolds noted in Super Heroes: A Modern Mythology that despite the character’s Charlton roots, Nite Owl’s modus operandi has more in common with the DC Comics character Batman. Drawing inspiration from Nite Owl’s dual origins, while commenting on superheroes in general, the characters’ costume in the 2009 movie is much more Batman-like in appearance than that drawn in the comics.[9] According to Geoff Klock, his civilian form “visually suggests an impotent, middle-aged Clark Kent.” [10] Nite Owl also symbolizes Batman from DC comics both he costumes and gadgets. In the Watchmen film he is played by Patrick Wilson. -Wikipedia by: DC Comics 2008 WARNER BROS. ENTERTAINMENT INC
