[NEWS] BIGBANG... Meets Darna!







During one of BIGBANG's recent TV appearances in Japan, the hosts introduced the boys with superheroes from around the world, including Darna from the Philippines.

When asked if who is their favorite superhero, Taeyang then answered Darna. The members were surprised to see Darna's sexy outfit.

Created by Mars Ravelo, Darna first appeared in Pilipino Komiks #77 on May 1950, possibly patterned after Wonder Woman. In the most popular version of her origins, she is a deceased warrior from another planet who manifested herself through the body of a crippled girl named Narda. The girl transforms into Darna once she swallows a white stone and shouts the name of the heroine.

Darna has been recreated multiple times in TV and film. The show's host mentioned Vilma Santos, who portrayed the heroine in four films in 1973 and 1980. She is now a provincial governor.
