Padrão (Template) Para Submissão De Trabalhos Ao Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação 42º Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Belém - PA – 2 a 7/09/2019 A representação da Morte na série de TV: Gotham1 Rebeca Cambaúva Leite2 Universidade Anhembi Morumbi, São Paulo, SP RESUMO O propósito deste artigo é observar os traços de determinadas relações, aquelas que se constroem a partir das adaptações de Batman, dos quadrinhos da editora norte-americana DC COMICS para a televisão, na série Gotham. Essas relações estão especificamente conectadas neste artigo, através das personagens James Gordon, Bruce Wayne, Oswald Cobblepot e Edward Nygma. A observação terá um olhar voltado para as questões de morte envolvendo as personagens, e, como esses eventos podem influenciar no desenvolvimento das personagens desde suas origens. O objetivo do estudo é desvendar como a morte atua como elemento de motivação e poder na série Gotham. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: formatos seriados; Gotham; morte; Batman. TEXTO DO TRABALHO Ao longo da última década foi possível notar a crescente produção de conteúdo audiovisual com a temática de heróis. A distribuidora e estúdio Warner Brothers é detentora dos direitos das personagens de histórias em quadrinhos da editora DC COMICS3, responsável pela criação das histórias da personagem Batman e de seu universo, criados por Bob Kane e Bill Finger em 1939. Dentre esses conteúdos são destacados os filmes, desenhos, jogos de videogame e séries que exploram as histórias de Batman. Após a criação da personagem para os quadrinhos, a indústria audiovisual norte- americana adaptou a trama para a televisão, através da aclamada série The Batman que foi exibida em 1943, com 15 capítulos lançados pela Columbia Pictures. No ano de 1949 foi lançada a última série para TV do homem-morcego com 15 episódios, intitulada de Batman & Robin. Desde a década de 50 até os dias atuais, algumas produções se destacaram tanto pela popularidade quanto pela fidelidade aos quadrinhos do herói. Como por exemplo o primeiro longa-metragem do herói dirigido 1 Trabalho apresentado no GP Comunicação Audiovisual, XIX Encontro dos Grupos de Pesquisas em Comunicação, evento componente do 42º Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação. 2 Doutoranda do PPGCOM da Universidade Anhembi Morumbi, e-mail: [email protected] 3 Dados sobre as obras disponíveis no em www.dccomics.com 1 Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação 42º Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Belém - PA – 2 a 7/09/2019 por Leslie H. Martinson em 1966 intitulado de Batman, os dois longas-metragens dirigidos por Tim Burton em 1989 e 1992 – Batman e Batman Returns, a trilogia cinematográfica dirigida por Christopher Nolan em 2002, 2005 e 2012 – Batman Begins, Batman – The Dark Knight e Batman – The Dark Knight Rises , entre outras obras como a animação Batman: The Killing Joke, dirigida por Sam Liu e lançada em 2016 e a saga de 4 de jogos da franquia Arkham, para plataforma de Playstation e Xbox, produzidas de 2009 até 2015. Atualmente a adaptação cinematográfica mais recente da personagem teve estreia em março de 2016, foi dirigida por Zack Snyder e intitulada Batman versus Superman: The Dawn of Justice, a adaptação trouxe uma nova proposta que ainda não fora explorada pela indústria cinematográfica até então: promover um encontro dos personagens da Liga da Justiça4. Apesar da história do filme ser uma compilação de diversas histórias da personagem Batman dos quadrinhos, o filme possui o maior enfoque no encontro de personagens do universo DC COMICS e teve lançamento em novembro de 2017 nos cinemas. Além do cinema, a televisão também passou a adotar formatos seriados com a temática do universo de Batman: Gotham, The Flash e Arrow já estão sendo exibidas e produzidas pelo estúdio Warner Brothers. Em 2014, a série Gotham foi lançada e distribuída no Brasil pelo canal da rede paga Warner Channel5, oferecendo 4 temporadas de 22 episódios, atualmente exibindo a quarta temporada/episódio 6. A série explora o universo da personagem com uma abordagem temporal nunca antes produzida em formato live-action, o grande diferencial da série é o momento narrativo que as personagens habitam, relatando detalhadamente a origem das personagens, tanto do herói Batman quanto de seus aliados e vilões. A série é iniciada com o assassinato dos pais de Bruce Wayne, que ainda é uma criança de 9 anos. Após esse acontecimento, as relações começam a ser desenvolvidas e a cada episódio – principalmente os da primeira temporada - novas personagens são inseridas na narrativa, complementando o andamento das histórias. É possível identificar que, além da morte dos pais de Bruce Wayne, episódios fatais são muito recorrentes no andamento da série, 4 A Liga da Justiça (Justice League), é um grupo de super-heróis criados pela editora DC COMICS que trabalham em conjunto para combater o mal, dentre esse grupo estão personagens como Batman, Super Homem, Mulher Maravilha, Flash, Lanterna Verde entre outros. Fonte disponível em: http://www.dccomics.com/search?keyword=justice%20league 5 Dados sobre a série disponível em www.warnerchannel.com 2 Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação 42º Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Belém - PA – 2 a 7/09/2019 esses fatos estão quase sempre conectados como uma espécie de motivação para o surgimento de novas personagens, sejam elas alter 6 ego de si próprias, ou mudanças completas de caráter e personalidade. Para o desenvolvimento do estudo, foram escolhidas 4 personagens do universo da série Gotham, são elas: Bruce Wayne, James Gordon, Pinguim e Charada. O propósito do artigo é observar a representação da morte em torno da evolução narrativa de cada um deles, considerando a questão da morte como ponto de partida. Histórico Narrativo: Bruce Wayne, James Gordon, Oswald Cobblepot (Pinguim) e Edward Nygma (Charada). Assim como em todo formato narrativo, as personagens da série Gotham são divididas em núcleos que atuam para o bem e núcleos que atuam para o mal. Nas narrativas de heróis, esses núcleos tendem a ser mais definidos e contornados, tanto pela temática abordar o embate do bem contra o mal, quanto para maior entendimento do público que as consome. Na série Gotham, esse embate acontece logo no primeiro capítulo, aonde os benfeitores Martha Wayne e Thomas Wayne são assassinados por um ladrão ao saírem de uma sessão de cinema, na frente do filho de 9 anos, Bruce Wayne. Neste momento, o menino que ainda é uma criança, se vê indefeso com os pais mortos a sua frente, sem esboçar quaisquer reações a não ser o desespero e a tristeza que passam a dominar o desenvolvimento da ação. A partir daí, o detetive James Gordon é inserido na narrativa, seu papel começa como um salvador que aparece para acolher o menino em meio a tragédia, e que, com palavras de consolo consegue acalmá-lo até a chegada de um rosto conhecido. Depois desse acontecimento, as personagens Gordon e Bruce acabam se tornando colegas, buscando encontrar alguma pista que os leve ao assassino dos pais e a uma possível motivação para o crime. A personagem Oswald Cobblepot é inserida desde o começo da trama, no núcleo de vilania, inicialmente é desenvolvida como uma personagem secundária em meio a um grupo de mafiosos que dominam a cidade de Gotham comandados por uma mulher chamada Fish Mooney, que possui grande parte dos empreendimentos legais e ilegais de entretenimento para adultos na cidade. Oswald é apresentado como uma espécie de 6 Alter ego é um conceito da psicanálise desenvolvido por Sigmund Freud, o conceito explora o fato de que uma mesma personalidade pode ser dividida em duas partes completamente opostas. 3 Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação 42º Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Belém - PA – 2 a 7/09/2019 “aprendiz de capacho” dessa personagem, que passa grande parte do tempo explorando- o tanto fisicamente quanto psicologicamente, mas que ao decorrer da narrativa passa a enxergar um potencial maléfico no rapaz, fato que o torna digno de sua confiança. É importante salientar que a personagem Oswald possui uma dificuldade ao caminhar, ele teve os pés quebrados em algum momento do passado que não fica claro na série e por não se tratar corretamente fica com os pés apontando para fora, em consequência, possui um andar estranho que lembra ao do animal pinguim, por esse motivo os capangas de Fish Mooney o apelidam com o nome da ave, apelido esse que a personagem Oswald rejeita completamente no início. A personagem vislumbra então a possibilidade de aproximação da chefe Fish Mooney, Oswald se aproxima dela, ganha espaço e passa a conspirar e manipular seus capangas contra ela. Esse processo é relativamente demorado, demonstrando a paciência e astúcia da personagem. Por fim, Oswald trai a confiança de Fish Mooney, a mata e toma posse de tudo e todos que estavam sob seu poder, tornando-se o novo chefe do submundo de Gotham. A personagem Edward Nygma, é inserida na trama inicialmente como membro da polícia investigativa de Gotham, um sujeito excêntrico que é visto como estranho por todos a sua volta. A personagem demonstra desde o início da série interesse por desvendar enigmas contidos nos casos criminais da cidade. Aparentemente calmo e inofensivo, a personagem acaba abandonando a carreira na polícia e se envolve em situações que acarretam sua internação no hospício Arkham, após esse acontecimento, as relações entre as personagens de Oswald e Edward são desenvolvidas. Oswald resgata Edward do hospício e com o passar do tempo um laço forte de amizade e confiança é construído entre os dois. Após diversas situações atuantes no submundo do crime na cidade de Gotham, ambos se tornam cumplices inseparáveis e a personagem de Oswald, que nesse momento abraça o apelido de Pinguim, se apaixona pela personagem de Edward, que até o momento era seu melhor amigo e confidente.

  • Gotham Episode 3 Review: Penguin Returns, Catwoman Eludes Gordon
    Gotham Episode 3 Review: Penguin Returns, Catwoman Eludes Gordon Author : Robert D. Cobb This episode could have been a filler episode. It has a non-descript villain. I got the feeling that it was building to the next part of the story. Fortunately, there were some awesome scenes and a cool twist at the end that created some intriguing possibilities. Bruce Wayne gets files related to his parents’ murder. It was just another part of his evolution into Batman. The Penguin also made his return. Penguin came back to Gotham was back to his old tricks. He managed to get inside the rival crime family that is opposing Carmine Falcone. There is no doubt that he will cross paths with Fish Mooney again. Robin Lord-Taylor was the standout performer in the episode once again. Another great scene was the “Cat” and Jim Gordon scene. The Catwoman and Gordon scene was interesting. It was odd that he went down into a sewer and didn’t have her get the wallet. She made him look foolish by escaping. It was another reminder of what she will become and it was appropriate for the character. It was one of the best scenes in the episode. Speaking of Fish Mooney, she was scheming again. She told the two cops about Gordon’s “murder” of the Penguin. It set up a confrontation between the two parties. They clearly don’t like each other and will eventually come to blows. It was clever to plant those seeds of doubt about Gordon. Mooney remains an interesting character to watch as the series evolves because she is proving to be unpredictable.

SELINA KYLE (14) - an elfin girl dressed in street Goth style, the future CATWOMAN - appears alongside the gargoyle and scans the streets below, a hunter searching for prey. Without any hesitation, she launches herself from the edge of the roof onto a fire escape one floor below and - using drainpipes, window ledges, and light fixtures - descends to street level with amazing nerve and agility.

  • Poetry Contest 2020
    ADULT Ekphrastic Writing POETRY CONTEST 2020 Ekphrastic writing, or writing about art, was created by the Greeks but popularized by the Romans. The goal of ekphrasis was to make the reader or listener envision a work of art as if it were physically present. Looking at art and describing art is central to being visually literate in our image-saturated world. The Toledo Museum of Art hosts an annual Ekphrastic Poetry Contest, in which we invite visitors to submit an original poem inspired by a work of art in the TMA’s collection. The following poems are the 11th annual Ekphrastic Poetry Contest submissions. Please note that entries may discuss topics that are considered upsetting, disturbing, or offensive by some readers.

    The Dark and Gritty World of Gotham Photos | Architectural Digest SUBSCRIBE NOW Get the Magazine ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN The Dark and Gritty World of Gotham Tour the sets of Fox's new TV series, chronicling the rise Gotham's supervillains and the early career of Detective James Gordon TEXT BY CATHY WHITLOCK PHOTOGRAPHY BY WARNER BROS. Posted August 31, 2014 Built in 1914, the neo-Jacobean-style country estate of Standard Oil’s Herbert L. Pratt (now the home of the Webb Institute) in Long Island’s Glen Cove served as the original Wayne Manor for the show’s pilot. Kraner and Graves (who designed the pilot and set the tone of the interiors) re-created the iconic manse on a soundstage at Brooklyn’s Steiner Studios. "The original room was a dining room, and we transformed it," says Kraner. "We took the bones and raised the ceiling, refined the scale, and added a library section to make into the set." The Dark and Gritty World of Gotham Photos | Architectural Digest "Wayne Manor has been depicted so many times in different Batman stories that we wanted to separate us from the rest," notes Graves. "[Bruno Heller] wanted to show that Bruce [senior] was an adventurer, a traveler, an avid art collector, and a father. We wanted Wayne Manor to have a sense of warmth and richness." Shown here are Detective James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) with Alfred the butler (Sean Pertwee) and a young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz). For Wayne Manor’s stately wood-paneled library, set decorator Andrew Baseman employed a color palette of brown, gold, red, and burgundy and scoured antiques stores all over New York and New Jersey for furnishings.
