So there I was, wasting time by flipping through the latest Entertainment Weekly looking for some good celebrity gossip when I came across a picture of none-other than Dr. Mid-Nite (the original!). The good doctor is mentioned as an inspiration in a brief article explaining where some of the costume designs for Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow originated.
Admitting he has a thing for goggles [costume designer Kevin] Conran incorporated the eyewear into the cape of baddie Mysterious Woman (Bai Ling). “There was this character in the silver age [sic] of comics called Dr. Mid-Nite. He was blind and always wore these goggles that looked really cool.”
