  • The Outlaw who inspired Zorro, Lone Ranger, and Batman!
    Joaquín Murrieta, also known as the "Robin Hood of El Dorado," was a legendary figure in the California Gold Rush era. He is often depicted as a Mexican patriot and bandit who fought against the injustices faced by Mexican-Americans during the mid-19th century.
    Murrieta became a well-known figure, leading a band of outlaws who targeted the wealthy, often seen as avenging the wrongs done to Mexican-Americans.
    His legend has permeated popular culture, influencing literature, films, and the creation of iconic characters like Zorro, Lone Ranger, and Batman.

    The Lone Ranger is inspired by a real-life slave turned lawman, Bass Reeves, and Zorro is based on the fictional character, The Scarlet Pimpernel.

      Tell em bout it, these guys obviously have no clue what they are talking about! The blind is definitely leading the blind and that's why it's so important to read 📚 for yourself and not just buy into everything someone tells you

    Maybe the *head-in-the-jar* trope might still be loosely alluded to with Mr. Freeze being a head in a case for fifty years in _Batman Beyond._

    I would say it's a combination of characters. One character that gets overlooked that the author says directly influenced him was also the book The Scarlet Pimpernel. That's where he got the idea for the dandy millionaire the secret identity. When you read The Scarlet pimpernel it's very much a Zorro type story.

      @@sawboss5794 No, Bass Reeves was NOT the inspiration for The Lone Ranger. There has never been any documented evidence of this. People like you desperately WISH Bass Reeves was the inspiration for The Lone Ranger, but again, the creators of The Lone Ranger stated specifically that they did not base the character on any real life individuals, and were inspired by Zorro, because both the Lone Ranger and Zorro wear masks. Bass Reeves was a US Marshall, not a Texas Ranger, so your assertion makes no sense. The title "The Lone Ranger" is inspired by the the book based on real-life Texas Ranger John Reynolds Hughes, "The Lone Star Ranger." Now, got any actual evidence to back up your claim?

    My great grandfather knew joaquin murrieta and this guy seems to match the story that was passed down to me. My grandma brought me to his hideout (close to the family ranch). It’s really cool and seems untouched like walking back in time to the 1800’s. Since he knew where his hideout was I’m assuming he may’ve been more involved than he admitted to haha. Anyway, we all grew up zorro and huge Batman fans, and the origins are a little closer to home for my family. Literally.
