The Shadow is a freaking masterpiece. TZ is great and all, but it's no The Shadow. Or, Mr The Shadow to you!

The beautiful, beautiful thing about Mr The Shadow regarding the movie theme, is that if you get rid of the fugly translite the theme is GONE. Comic book art all the way after that. The Art Deco backdrop is superb, and the call outs don’t take you into the movie if you aren’t that familiar with the movie. In fact, I wouldn’t know if they are movie call outs or not, as I have never seen the movie. It just sounds like comic characters brought to life to me.
To me TS is no movie pin. It is just a masterwork of Art Deco Noir.
