The storyline about the Red Hood Gang was interesting and more than a little creepy creepy in the sense of the pervasiveness and ruthlessness of the cult. This is the one of the finest Batman origin stories I've read to date. DMCA and Copyright : The book is not hosted on our servers, to remove the file please contact the source url. However, his mission is clear: To avoid that anyone else would suffer the same pain that he endured when he lost his parents at the hands of a robbery. When there was nothing left to do but step beyond anything you'd learned before And newer readers, who aren't familiar with the way this character has been played with in the past, are going to get the surprise of their lives.

I also like the flashback moments about his father, and his interactions with an uncle who tries to push him back into the Wayne spotlight, to take up that mantle and be the man his parents want him to be. The little details everywhere are what really stand out. Bruce meets with his maternal uncle, Philip Kane, but refuses to take over Wayne Enterprises. Definitely one of the strongest developed points in the story. Bruce wakes to seeing Fox being attacked by Doctor Death. Doing this has increase the anticipation of finally seeing Batman in Volume 4 in full gear, if we had seen him slowly make his mark it would not have had the impact. Batman shaving his head is a breath of fresh air, typically in Batman books for decades Bruce Wayne has the same look about him every time. Hardcover , pages. The next day, the Riddler appears on screen again to say that he will dedicate this "Zero Year" to the people of Gotham. Now he's a serious madman. And no one that changes Batman gets five stars. That's one way to put it. Talk about making an entrance. Bruce finds his destiny as the orb falls and breaks. Bruce goes into Ace Chemicals as Batman, and begins fighting the gang. Batman publications and storylines. September 2, October 26, The Gotham Archives. With just enough reverence for the Origin stories that have come before Year One by Frank Miller, this is the degree opposite Snyder and Capullo put their own stamp on what is the Batman Origin story for the modern reader. Sale Reviews. But they don't want to forget because of obfuscation Partly its stress at work - massive year- long project about to go live - but there's more to it than that. The most exciting moments are seeing the emergence of Edward Nygma - and not so much because of how he's portrayed in this book, but because of what I've heard about how batshit scary he gets in the next book. That's right. I guess that just goes to show just how powerful that origin story is that every writer wants to put their own spin on it. That is some good stuff right there. Both villains are well written and so much fun to read. Not Jason Todd. Enlarge cover. This is quite a fresh book to read for this reason as reading how Batman uses his experience to get out of a situation can get a bit boring if you read one like that one after another. Batman: Zero Year - Secret City Volume 4 Writer Batman Year One is a great book, maybe the very best Batman story, in a way. Maybe in a future arc? See details.

Snyder continues his hot streak with this 4th collected volume. Batman eternal maybe? He does let Alfred into his circle, but he still doesn't really trust him. Presumably this means 6 years before the events of Death of the Family. A young boy whose life he had saved informs him that the Riddler has taken control of Gotham. Death's next victim, but is too late, as Doctor Death had already reached them. I thought that was a cool visual idea and a believable disguise before Bruce decides that he needs something more effective. For a better shopping experience, please upgrade now. Funny how rumours can have a stronger influence over your thoughts than your own direct experience. This book was a pleasure to read, and is without a doubt the finest I've read in months. His Joker is already a criminal genius. That would be another. This is a great renewal of the Batman origin story with the schizo-par-excellence Harvey Dent and the Red Hood Gang for the uninitiated, this is where the Joker came from. Batman, Gordon, Fox and the soldiers plan a way to stop the Riddler. That was a fun revamp of Batman's origin. It's amusing to see Bruce Wayne pursue the Red Hood gang viciously and yet he still fails to disband them or break down their systematized criminal operations that seem pretty basic enough. The passion and energy they bring to these comics is something else and I always come away from their Batman books feeling the love and satisfaction they must feel in the creation of these stories as I do in reading them.

Meanwhile, the military sends special forces soldiers to Gotham to help Gordon restore the peace. I'm thinking that the leader may be the origin of one of Batman's arch-nemeses.

Scott Snyder is one of comics' best young writers. Snyder announced in December that issue 28 would no longer be a part of the event, as he had written much material that felt "too cramped" and extending the issue at this point would not give Capullo ample time to properly draw the new scenes.

The title itself suggests many of the topics about which women were concerned, or at least were supposed to concern them: the mediation of identity through heterosexual partnership, the pressure to marry and the simultaneous emphasis placed on individual achievement. Concerns about marriage and Lois’ ability to enter into it routinely provide the sole narrative dynamic for stories and Superman engages in different methods of avoiding the matrimonial schemes devised by Lois or her main romantic rival, Lana Lang.

  • Crossmedia Adaptation and the Development of Continuity in the Dc Animated Universe
    “INFINITE EARTHS”: CROSSMEDIA ADAPTATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUITY IN THE DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE Alex Nader 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 May 2015 Committee: Jeff Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2015 Alexander Nader All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeff Brown, Advisor This thesis examines the process of adapting comic book properties into other visual media. I focus on the DC Animated Universe, the popular adaptation of DC Comics characters and concepts into all-ages programming. This adapted universe started with Batman: The Animated Series and comprised several shows on multiple networks, all of which fit into a shared universe based on their comic book counterparts. The adaptation of these properties is heavily reliant to intertextuality across DC Comics media. The shared universe developed within the television medium acted as an early example of comic book media adapting the idea of shared universes, a process that has been replicated with extreme financial success by DC and Marvel (in various stages of fruition). I address the process of adapting DC Comics properties in television, dividing it into “strict” or “loose” adaptations, as well as derivative adaptations that add new material to the comic book canon. This process was initially slow, exploding after the first series (Batman: The Animated Series) changed networks and Saturday morning cartoons flourished, allowing for more opportunities for producers to create content. References, crossover episodes, and the later series Justice League Unlimited allowed producers to utilize this shared universe to develop otherwise impossible adaptations that often became lasting additions to DC Comics publishing.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

  • Growing up with Vertigo: British Writers, Dc, and the Maturation of American Comic Books
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ScholarWorks @ UVM GROWING UP WITH VERTIGO: BRITISH WRITERS, DC, AND THE MATURATION OF AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS A Thesis Presented by Derek A. Salisbury to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Specializing in History May, 2013 Accepted by the Faculty of the Graduate College, The University of Vermont, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, specializing in History. Thesis Examination Committee: ______________________________________ Advisor Abigail McGowan, Ph.D ______________________________________ Melanie Gustafson, Ph.D ______________________________________ Chairperson Elizabeth Fenton, Ph.D ______________________________________ Dean, Graduate College Domenico Grasso, Ph.D March 22, 2013 Abstract At just under thirty years the serious academic study of American comic books is relatively young. Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children. However, historians are not yet in agreement as to when the medium became mature. This thesis proposes that the medium’s maturity was cemented between 1985 and 2000, a much later point in time than existing texts postulate. The project involves the analysis of how an American mass medium, in this case the comic book, matured in the last two decades of the twentieth century. The goal is to show the interconnected relationships and factors that facilitated the maturation of the American sequential art, specifically a focus on a group of British writers working at DC Comics and Vertigo, an alternative imprint under the financial control of DC.

  • The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema
    The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema John Saddington Submitted for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Sociology September 2010 Abstract This study examines representations of suicide in film. Based upon original research cataloguing 350 films it considers the ways in which suicide is portrayed and considers this in relation to gender conventions and cinematic traditions. The thesis is split into two sections, one which considers wider themes relating to suicide and film and a second which considers a number of exemplary films. Part I discusses the wider literature associated with scholarly approaches to the study of both suicide and gender. This is followed by quantitative analysis of the representation of suicide in films, allowing important trends to be identified, especially in relation to gender, changes over time and the method of suicide. In Part II, themes identified within the literature review and the data are explored further in relation to detailed exemplary film analyses. Six films have been chosen: Le Feu Fol/et (1963), Leaving Las Vegas (1995), The Killers (1946 and 1964), The Hustler (1961) and The Virgin Suicides (1999). These films are considered in three chapters which exemplify different ways that suicide is constructed. Chapters 4 and 5 explore the two categories that I have developed to differentiate the reasons why film characters commit suicide. These are Melancholic Suicide, which focuses on a fundamentally "internal" and often iII­ understood motivation, for example depression or long term illness; and Occasioned Suicide, where there is an "external" motivation for which the narrative provides apparently intelligible explanations, for instance where a character is seen to be in danger or to be suffering from feelings of guilt.
