About this deal

Constantine's creator, Alan Moore, believes that he has met John Constantine in real life. In 1993, he told Wizard Magazine: Now story wise the film had some issues but they weren't as serious as many people claim they are. As I stated previously the film does drag a little and it does take a long time for the film to actually reveal its point but its the little things that are really interesting. The exorcism scene is very well done and the effects are generally very well made. Effects doesn't make a film, however, and in spite of the issues the film actually succeeds in telling the story it wants to and the ending is indeed a climax. When it comes to Constantine and cigarettes, another artefact closely associated with John Constantine is his signature lighter. It appears in several instances across the comics, series and movies.

An Angel City taxi cab delivers John Constantine to his afternoon exorcism. As Constantine gets to work, fighting to free a girl from the demon inside her, he realizes this isn’t your average ritual — something’s wrong, off-balance. Something’s coming. And Constantine isn’t just the first to notice, he’s the only guy who can fix it.

Constantine languished in development hell at Warner Bros in the late ’90s. But the project had staying power, and after years of struggling and evolving, Keanu Reeves signed on to star in the film for music video director Francis Lawrence, who would make his feature debut. With Constantine, Lawrence and his collaborators constructed a rich, textured world, one whose inner workings are intimately familiar to our protagonist, though he doesn’t always feel like explaining them. (“Cats are good. Half in half out, anyway.”) Here, the supernatural is quotidian — performing an exorcism is “like changing your oil,” Reeves told the Associated Press at the time of release. Oclumancy — Erased a man's traumatic memories ( Hellblazer issue 217), or mind-controlled a whole penitentiary of inmates to riot madly and bring him a cigarette. ( Hellblazer issue 149- 150) Years later, in another place, he steps out of the dark and speaks to me. He whispers: 'I'll tell you the ultimate secret of magic. Any cunt could do it.'" A film adaptation of Hellblazer, drawing loosely on stories by Garth Ennis, Jamie Delano and Warren Ellis, and starring Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, was released in 2005. This version of Constantine is an American exorcist and former Catholic who can see into the world beyond and fights evil with a magical shotgun. For more information see Constantine (film) and John Constantine (film character). Invisibility — used sigils to make himself invisible ( Hellblazer issue 174 and 258), and he can also spot invisible forces ( City of Demons).

Divination — Used a pendulum and map to find the location of a magical disturbance. ( Hellblazer issues four and 182)Apart from John Constantine, the two other most prominent characters of the Hellblazer comics are Lucifer Morningstar and the archangel Gabriel. Fans and tattoo enthusiasts have come up with their own interpretations of Constantine tattoo meaning. For some, Constantine tattoos may be an ode to their fandom. For others, it may be steeped in symbolism. One way or another, the sheer badass look of these tattoos make them a must-have. Speaking of Keanu Reeves, his portrayal of John Constantine in the 2005 critically acclaimed film was spectacular. Not only did he imbibe each and every characteristic of the anti-hero, but his performance also took the fandom to another level. If you are a fan of the character and want a tattoo to symbolise your fandom, then this simple yet visually striking depiction of Constantine is just the tattoo you need.
