  • How Superman Developed Into a Jesus Figure
    HOW SUPERMAN DEVELOPED INTO A JESUS FIGURE CRISIS ON INFINITE TEXTS: HOW SUPERMAN DEVELOPED INTO A JESUS FIGURE By ROBERT REVINGTON, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Robert Revington, September 2018 MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2018) Hamilton, Ontario, Religious Studies TITLE: Crisis on Infinite Texts: How Superman Developed into a Jesus Figure AUTHOR: Robert Revington, B.A., M.A (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Travis Kroeker NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 143 ii MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies LAY ABSTRACT This thesis examines the historical trajectory of how the comic book character of Superman came to be identified as a Christ figure in popular consciousness. It argues that this connection was not integral to the character as he was originally created, but was imposed by later writers over time and mainly for cinematic adaptations. This thesis also tracks the history of how Christians and churches viewed Superman, as the film studios began to exploit marketing opportunities by comparing Superman and Jesus. This thesis uses the methodological framework of intertextuality to ground its treatment of the sources, but does not follow all of the assumptions of intertextual theorists. iii MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies ABSTRACT This thesis examines the historical trajectory of how the comic book character of Superman came to be identified as a Christ figure in popular consciousness. Superman was created in 1938, but the character developed significantly from his earliest incarnations.

He will go to hell and back to find out. Batman: Damned is a visceral thrill ride and supernatural horror story told by two of comics’ greatest modern creators: Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo. The Joker has been murdered. His killer’s identity is a mystery. Batman is the World’s Greatest Detective. But what happens when the person he is searching for is the man staring back at him in the mirror? With no memory of what happened on the night of the murder, Batman is going to need some help. Who better to set him straight than John Constantine? The problem is that as much as John loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people’s heads even more. With John’s “help,” the pair will delve into the sordid underbelly of Gotham as they race toward the mind-blowing truth of who murdered The Joker.

    r "SUPERMAN" Screenplay by Wesley Strick Jon Peters Entertainment Director: Tim Burton Warner Bros. Pictures July 7, 1997 y?5^v First Draft The SCREEN is BLACK. FADE IN ON: INT. UNIVERSITY CORRIDOR - LATE NIGHT A YOUNG PROFESSOR hurries down the empty hall — hotly murmuring to himself, intensely concerned ... A handsome man, about 30, but dressed strangely — are we in some other country? Sometime in the past? Or in the future? YOUNG PROFESSOR It's switched off ... It can't be ... But the readings, what else — The Young Professor reaches a massive steel door, like the hatch of a walk-in safe. Slides an ID card, that's emblazoned with a familiar-looking "S" shield: the door hinges open. The Young Professor pauses — he hadn't noted, till now, the depths of his fear. Then, enters: INT. UNIVERSITY LAB - LATE NIGHT Dark. The Professor tries the lights. Power is off. Cursing, he's got just enough time, as the safe door r swings closed again, to find an emergency flashlight. He flicks it on: plays the beam over all the bizarre equipment, the ultra-advanced science paraphernalia. Now he hears a CREAK. He spins. His voice quavers. YOUNG PROFESSOR I.A.C. ..? His flashlight finds a thing: a translucent ball perched atop a corroding pyramid shape. It appears inanimate. YOUNG PROFESSOR (cont'd) Answer me. And finally, from within the ball, a faint alow.

By doing three case studies on popular heroes in distinct eras, this study reveals that superhero comics have been growing steadily more overtly political, in ways that are increasingly subversive. I approach Wonder Woman in the 60s, Batman in the late 80s, and Captain America in the early 2000s, and tackle each moment individually.

For Tomorrow also features a rather fantastic use of Wonder Woman in a brilliant knock down, drag out fight between the Man of Steel and Princess Diana of Themyscira. To a man these designs are generally either too busy or — in the case of pre-existing characters — are too self- consciously modern to be effective or lasting costume redesigns.

Mainly restricted to covers, pin-ups Icons: The DC Comics and WildStorm Art of Jim Lee short strip material, this section shows Lee experimenting with different styles and techniques to generally superb effect.
