It isn't exactly worth reading on its own, and would actually be pretty much incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't read both RIP and Final Crisis already. It also isn't necessary to understand The Return of Bruce Wayne. It is, however, a pretty interesting read, especially since it's mostly narrated directly by Batman himself. I flagged the cover as awesome, and it is. There's also a whole gallery of really cool Batman art at the back of the book, by several different artists. Mar 06, Anne rated it liked it Shelves: comicsgraphic-novelsread-in It's been a while since I've read Batman: R. I vaguely remember Bruce being drugged, and then hilarity ensues Anyway, I guess that this sort of fills in some of the gaps in R. P and Final Crisis. Morrison's writing is always trippy and weird, but I'm hoping it will all come together for me once I read Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne. Jun 11, Jesse A rated it liked it Shelves: library-it-upgraphic-novels. Largely unnecessary but not bad. Jul 21, Sam Quixote rated it liked it. This is a kind of collection of B sides and rarities from Grant Morrison's Batman: Time and the Batman Batman storyline. The first concerns a meshing of Batmans, present and future, in a number of futuristic backgrounds - this was the best looking part of the book but was confusing to me, even though I've read the others in this Batman cycle Black Glove, RIP, Return of Bruce Wayne, etc. There's also a This is a kind of Batman: Time and the Batman of B sides and rarities from Grant Morrison's epic Batman storyline. There's also a good one shot story of the new Batman and Robin, Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne, and about the shades of grey in crime. One day they'll collect all of the Batman books of the sequence into one or two absolute editions and readers of those will, or might, find all of the storylines make sense, but for me, having read each of these books 2 or 3 months apart, it's a bit confusing. All of the time travel stuff is way out there with Morrison introducing the concept of "time bullets", literally a time travelling bullet that is every bullet ever made Reading some of Morrison's stuff, it probably helps being on several drugs in order to, er, "get" the point of the stories. Reading them here in Batman though is a bit strange and oddly unsuited to Batman: Time and the Batman world. Some nice art aside, the stories in this book aren't essential to the enjoyment of other works in this series specifically "RIP" and "The Return of Bruce Wayne". This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Not my favorite. This is definitely an appendix book within Morrison's run. We learn a tiny bit about Professor Carter Nichols, the scientist who creates the time travel device that allows Bruce to escape. Which in itself is very confusing. And then the more useful R. Imagine that, a theme of time in "Time and the Batman. I'm glad I read it and can refer to it later. But it's definitely choppy and not really meant to be a cohesive storyline. Jan 24, Anthony rated it liked it Shelves: batman. The rest Batman: Time and the Batman kinda eh. The first story is pure Morrison confusion, though I appreciate the idea of a Batman story spanning 3 generations. Aug 07, John Yelverton rated it really liked it. It's great to have Batman back, but it's awful that Grant Morrison is allowed within yards of the character after his recent "contributions". Mar 10, Ben rated it did not like it Shelves: graphic-novels. What a mess. Why in the world would you collect these stories in this way? It seems they are addendums to other storylines; in that case, collect them with those storylines! This is like a short story collection that is really a collection of final chapters from novels. Further, there aren't really any new ideas here. I guess I'm slow cause I have no clue wth I just read. Oct 26, JB rated it really liked it Shelves: my-dc-collection. Another great piece in the Grant Morrison's Batman run puzzle. I will say that you'll enjoy it more if you've read the previous books in Morrison's Batman run and Final Crisis. It does highlight some of the most important things that happened in Final Crisis. It shows a case that involves Batmen through time I'm always in for stories involving a character through history and stories with time traveling. The Missing Chapter was great to read too, this story shows you what happened to Batman after the events of R. The Great Escape might be my favorite story in this book. I love how this story shows how little Damian knows about his father and how it's Batman: Time and the Batman clear he really wants to get to know him. The greatest thing about this story is Dick explaining to Damian why Bruce let one bad guy "get away" intentionally and it's a beautiful reason. A reason you can understand Batman or rather Bruce Wayne making. This part alone made the book for me. Highly recommended! 'The Batman' Release Date Pushed to March The series picks up from Final Crisis 6. The series detailed the journey Bruce Wayne takes through the timestream of the DC Universe after being deposited in the distant past by Darkseid in Final Crisis. The time periods are prehistory, Batman: Time and the Batman witch huntspirates at sea, the Wild West20th-century Gotham City just a few months after Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered, and the present day, and usually depict the Batcave or Wayne Manor. Bruce Wayne also visits "the end of time". Morrison described the vastly different time periods in each issue. It's Bruce Wayne's ultimate challenge — Batman vs. As far as his artistic collaborators on the limited series, Morrison explained, " I know Chris Sprouse is penciling the first one, so I'm fairly Batman: Time and the Batman it'll be the best comic set in the Late Paleolithic Era that you'll have seen for a very long time. I'm a huge fan of Chris' work, so I'm keen to see what he's done. I think Frazer Irving might do the second one, cementing his reputation as the comic world's most prominent Puritan Goth Adventure artist. The series will follow the heroes' journey to find Batman who was lost in time following Final Crisis. The final issue was released in Novemberwith Sook sharing art duties with Pere Perez on his issue. Caught in the explosion of the time-and-space-bending Omega Beams of the New God tyrant Darkseidan amnesiac Bruce Wayne Batman: Time and the Batman cast back in time to the dawn of history. Nearly killed by a tribe of Neanderthals led by the immortal caveman who will become Vandal Savage Batman: Time and the Batman, Wayne is rescued by a younger human, who returns his Batman: Time and the Batman belt to him. Operating more on instinct than actual knowledge, Wayne dons the pelt of a giant bat and uses the tools in his belt against the cavemen, but is eventually forced to flee by jumping over a waterfall. When he recovers at the bottom, he finds he has jumped further forward in time, arriving in Puritan times. His first act in this new era is to save a woman named Annie from a monstrous, tentacled creature, after which he tries Batman: Time and the Batman build a life for himself in the small colony of Gotham. Calling himself "Mordecai", he joins the ranks of the local witch-hunters alongside his own ancestor Nathaniel Wayne, and uses his forensic skills to solve crimes that might otherwise be blamed on witchcraft.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

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.

  • Two-Color Technicolor, the Black Pirate, and Blackened Dyes in 1923
    Two-Color Technicolor, The Black Pirate, and Blackened Dyes In 1923 Cecil B. DeMille had complained that “color movies diverted interest from narrative and action, offended the color sensitivities of many, and cost too much.”1 For DeMille, color—even “natural” color processes like Technicolor—was a veil that concealed the all-important expressions on an actor’s face. Yet DeMille was attracted to color and repeatedly employed it in his films of the 1920s, combining tinting and toning with footage either in Technicolor or in the Handshiegl process. Douglas Fairbanks voiced a similar objection to color, likening its use to putting “rouge on the lips of Venus de Milo.”2 Fairbanks argued that color took “the mind of the spectator away from the picture itself, making him conscious of the mechanics—the artificiality—of the whole thing, so that he no longer lived in the story with the characters.”3 At the same time, color motion pictures were said, by their critics, to cause retinal fatigue.4 Fairbanks had once written that color “would tire and distract the eye,” serving more as a distraction than an attraction.5 Indeed, a few years later, before deciding to make The Black Pirate (1926) in two-color Technicolor, Fairbanks hired two USC professors, Drs. A. Ray Irvine and M. F. Weyman, to conduct a series of tests to ascertain the relative amount of eye fatigue (as well as nausea and headaches) generated by viewing black and white vs. color films. Fatigue was calculated in terms of the decline in the viewer’s visual acuity as a result of these screenings.

Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.
