Edgar has a dream: to become the world's most famous art-house film director.
But this is an industry that depends more than anything on connections and money. He comes from a poor background, and his sharp tongue has a way of making every investor lose their temper and put him on their permanent blacklist.
Despite his outstanding skills, Edgar ends up spending three extra years in college, unable to scrape together two coins to rub together.
Until one day, a self-proclaimed Boss Direct-Hire System shows up at his door.
Good news: His first job is with the Nine*Snake company, and the bonus is generous. The work is simple: make a short film for the company, and he'll have enough money to fund his graduation project.
Bad news: The shoot is in the Himalayas, and Edgar is a fragile college student through and through.
Edgar tries to turn it down, but the System's ugly capitalist nature immediately shows itself. Clutching his camera, Edgar is forced onto a rickety van bound for the snowy plateau.
To stay alive, he looks around for the only person on the van who seems to understand English.
Edgar flashes him a friendly smile. "Hey, handsome, need someone to film your trip?"
Bruce, who is on his way to learn ninjutsu before becoming Batman: ?
After learning the handsome guy's name, Edgar, who grew up reading secondhand superhero comics, falls into a deep silence.
Wait, System, where the hell have you brought me? And the company I'm working for isn't Hydra, is it?
Oh no, I've become a villain.
What happens when a superhero fan and director steps into the superhero world?
Mr. Edgar, passionately: "Who says superhero movies are shallow? Superheroes are amazing!"
Hey, Warner Bros., what do you know about superheroes? Why keep canceling projects? Give me a shot, and I'll show you!
Edgar hoists his camera and eagerly starts with Batman's origin story.
Every superhero who crosses his path gets a trilogy, no negotiations, plus a character-growth series for every obscure character.
For comic fans in the main universe, it is a day that shakes them to their core. A new director named Edgar is tirelessly churning out countless fan films.
And his casting isn't just spot-on: the characters look as if they've been plucked right out of the comics and brought to life.
Every shot and every special effect is produced to an astonishing standard.
The fans: A god has descended upon the world! Praise the director!
In the superhero world,
Edgar finally sweeps all three major awards. From then on, a crowd of unusual companies compete to invest in every one of his films.
Bruce Wayne (smiling): "But Wayne Enterprises always gets a stake."
After all, his first investment came from Wayne Enterprises ^_^
*There will be a lethal dose of Warner Bros. jokes.
