  • 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.

DESCRIPTORS *Centralization; *Childrens Television; Comparative Analysis; Mergers; *Programming (Broadcast); Television Research IDENTIFIERS California (Los Angeles); Federal Communications Commission ABSTRACT The Federal Communications Commission is currently considering modifying or eliminating existing media ownership rules. Children's advocates are concerned that any changes to these rules could negatively affect the already limited amount and types of programming available for children. Children Now conducted the first study to examine the availability and diversity of children programming in an increasingly consolidated media marketplace. Los Angeles was selected as a case study for this research because it is the second largest media market in the country, and two duopolies now exist among its television stations. The study compared the children's programming schedules from 1998, when the market's seven major commercial broadcast television stations were owned by seven different companies, to 2003, after consolidation reduced the number to five. The findings suggest that changes to the current ownership policies will have a serious impact on the availability and diversity of children's programming.

  • Eng 1131: Politics of the Superhero, Spring 2019
    ENG 1131: POLITICS OF THE SUPERHERO, SPRING 2019 ENG 1131: Politics of the Superhero (Class #13890) Instructor: Megan Fowler MWF Period 5; W Period E1-E3 Email: [email protected] Office: Turlington 4321 University of Florida Office hours: W Period 6-7 COURSE DESCRIPTION The superhero has had a lasting cultural legacy starting from the archetype’s 1930s origin and continuing with an almost overwhelming proliferation of superhero media into the 21st century. This course will examine that legacy, focusing on the political and cultural contexts that shape superheroes and how superhero narratives respond to these contexts. In addition, as this is a Writing Through Media course, we will be exploring the myriad of different mediums creators utilize for superhero stories, including comics, animation, blockbuster films, television shows, radio shows, etc. This course will begin by introducing some of the pulp heroes that served as superhero antecedents, such as Zorro, the Scarlet Pimpernel, and the Phantom. We will then explore the relationship between the superhero and American identity, focusing on the emergence of the Golden Age of superhero comics with characters such as Superman and Captain America. This exploration will demonstrate the cultural legacy of Jewish identity on the origin of the superhero, the pivotal role superhero comics played in WWII, and the continued political relevance of these characters in contemporary American culture. The next unit will center around superheroines, beginning with Wonder Woman and the influence of first wave feminism on her genesis. Moving into the contemporary, we will look at a number of postmodern takes on the superheroine in a range of formats from independent webcomics to anime to television.

CATHERINE UNIVERSITY April 1, 2014 2 With many thanks to Patricia Montalbano (project advisor), Rachel Neiwart Emily West and Sharon Doherty for their continuous and invaluable interest, assistance, and patience with the project. 3 Introduction When presented with the simple silhouette of a stylized bat inside a yellow oval, people the world over are able to recognize this emblem and, at the very least, name its wearer. Even as the logo is altered with time, the yellow backdrop traded for a grey one, the awareness persists. Yet even as people recognize Batman’s logo, one person’s impression of the superhero does not always align with another’s: a cheerful, law-abiding Batman who orders orange juice instead of alcohol at bars is Batman as he appeared in the 1960s, and a brooding hero wreathed in darkness and prone to conflicted inner monologues is the Batman of the 1980s.
