Tagline:"Remember, remember the 5th of November..."
The background is set to be sometime around 2030s in UK, where the totalitarian government has full control over its nationals. V is a revolutionary who dedicates his life to overthrow the Fascist government in the movie he plans on blowing up the parliament on the 5th of November to begin his revolution.
In this movie there is a strong sense of freedom fighting against the Fascist government who takes control of the nation by enforcing fear and suppression on to people. V takes extreme and radical approaches and kills those who stand in the way, bombs the symbolic buildings of the UK, yet his ideology leads to
a great impact on people to support his faith.

This is definitely a must-see movie of all time! as a matter of fact, despite that this movie is permeated with Anarchism against Fascism while neither of them could fuel me in creating my proposed superhero character, what is really eye-catchy isn't just the fancy actions in the movie, but how a political idea could be dressed in disguise of a movie, and further convincing the audience the ideology the V is selling! So OK! I am bought and I admit, charmed by the big words V throws in the movie...
V: "Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof."
Very true, ideas are bulletproof and can long live forever... b
ut the point is, creating a superhero isn't a breadking news no more, so how do I sell an image to the audience? few inspirations from the movie V for Vendetta are: 1. A clear idea through out the whole plot, in V's case, freedom 2. The characters must be extremely eye-catchy, look wise, characteristics wise, etc. 3. A very strong visual language that corresponds the idea, which in V's case, is the massive explosions and fancy martial tricks.Image:http://vforvendetta.warnerbros.com/cmp/poster_0_large.html
