EDSA: Year 100

In Gotham City, 2039, a federal agent is murdered and a contingent of Washington's top agents is hot on the suspect's trail. The Batman, a forgotten icon from the past, is wanted for the murder. Amid the chaos Gotham City Police Detective Gordon, grandson of the former commissioner, discovers that the man they are chasing shouldn't exist at all.

Okay. That is actually Amazon.com's description of Paul Pope's comic book mini-series Batman: Year 100. The story is a fresh take on the iconic Batman figure -- one you will either love or hate for various reasons. For one it leaves the reader hanging on some key areas (minor ones like who really is the Batman in that comic). Nevertheless, it is a unique story in that Batman was depicted almost as a mythological character, much like Hercules or Achilles.

So what is this post getting at? And why the title?

Today, is the 23rd anniversary of EDSA revolution. So I wonder, what will it be like after 100 years? What would become of the important figures who took part in this historic event?

In 100 years, EDSA may become a mythic event, like the Battle of Thermopylae or the Trojan War. Someday, FVR and Enrile may be depicted in books and pictures as heroic generals or war leaders like King Leonidas or Genghis Khan. In 100 years, they may talk about The Invincible Nuns who toppled armored tanks. Or they may project the image of Cory Aquino dressed in shiny, golden robe and bathed in divine, white light as she ascends into the air to lead the nation. There would definitely be movies based on this event. I might make a comic book out of this. The title: EDSA: Year 100.

Meanwhile, today is declared as a working holiday. I'm trying to think of a smart remark to connect EDSA Revolution with the Cry of Pugadlawin or the Battle of Tirad Pass and how people don't even remember those events but I'm lost for words.
