Always outnumbered, but never outfought - this is the code of the Batman and Robin This book is worth it for the sheer entertainment value. Batman comics from the s are pretty amusing. Bright and garishly colored, with hilarious dialogue - these comics are sure to get a chuckle from you. Now, it's the thirties so I have to put a standard disclaimer on this about racism and sexism. It's not Batman the Golden Age Omnibus: Vol 01 as bad as a lot of stuff I've read, but quite a few times Batman has to face 'exotic' villains Always outnumbered, but never outfought - this is the code of the Batman and Robin It's not really as bad as a lot of stuff I've read, but quite a few times Batman has to face 'exotic' villains from China, Africa, India I think that's it. You'd think the U. Sexism: Again, I've read a lot worse. But expect the usual 'beautiful female' shenanigans. O What I thought it was some sort of sexual thing, but then later in the book he refers to himself as "poppa" again while fighting male bad guys. Then the kid picks up on it and starts copying Batman's behaviors. I don't really know what all that was about. O I was surprised by how much I liked Robin. I suppose I've been conditioned by the media and society to think of him as a laughingstock and a useless dorky buttmonkey, but he's not really that way at all in these comics. He's a danger-loving, violent kid who enjoys kicking ass. He's actually quite competent. He's also a murderer, like his 'dad' Bruce Wayne. He kills one person in this collection, and not by accident. Batman is Batman the Golden Age Omnibus: Vol 01 murderer. He murders a total of nine people in this collection. A lot more died, some even while fighting Batman, but I wouldn't call them 'murders. But nine of them are straight-up murders. And Batman is totally chill with that. In fact, he's usually really happy about it and says stuff like, "A fitting end for his kind. People argue over and over and over again about Batman's alleged 'no-kill rule' and blah blah blah but I'm telling you in these comics he's killing people left and right. Some more Batman the Golden Age Omnibus: Vol 01 than others, but he is losing no sleep over it, I can tell you that. One thing that cracks me up in these comics is how villains choose to murder Batman. It's always like, "I'm going Batman the Golden Age Omnibus: Vol 01 lower you into a den of snakes in a net! Batman the Golden Age Omnibus: Vol 01, I shall watch from behind the glass door! I'm like, "Why don't you just shoot him, like a normal person!?!!? It never works, but points for trying. Batman comics from this era remind me a lot of Scooby-Doo. But Scooby-Doo with a lot more murder and suicide. They are presented as either actual mysteries Batman the Golden Age Omnibus: Vol 01 mean One thing that was cracking me up throughout the book was the way average citizens see Batman and Robin. Some people call Batman "a Satan. This part where Batman is flying over the city in his Batarang and everyone is panicking and saying "The end of the world! We are attacked by Martians! The devil himself. I'm attacked by an ELF! You'd think someone would have qualms about it. The villains don't make much sense and always have some wacky plan. Joker insists on announcing his future crimes on the radio for some reason that escapes me. One guy gets his face lasered off by a villain, and yet somehow can still see, talk, and breathe even though his face is completely smooth. It's bizarre. I can't even tell at the end of the comic if he gets his face back or not. She insists on talking about what a "real man" Batman is and asking Bruce why he can't be more like Batman. I guess this is supposed to be amusing since Bats and Bruce are the same person, but really it is so cruel. Batman the Golden Age Omnibus: Vol 01 had a lot of trouble reading these comics. The order the speech bubbles are placed in and the order Batman the Golden Age Omnibus: Vol 01 the panels on the pages makes no sense to me and seems counter-intuitive. Luckily for me, they number some panels on pages that are more confusing, but that still doesn't help me with my speech bubble problem. Often I ended up reading these things willy-nilly because it didn't make any logical sense in regards to placement, IMO.

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.

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.

Bob Kane had taken all the cred- it for creating the character. Finger wasn’t okay with this, but when he tried to stand up for himself, nothing changed.

James Bondright? When it first premiered inBatman was the most faithful adaptation of a bona fide comic book superhero ever seen on the screen. It was a nearly perfect blend of the Saturday matinee movie serials where most comic book characters had their first Hollywood break and the comics of its time. But the TV series, particularly during its genesis, was both a product of its own time, and that of an earlier era. Both Flash Gordon and Dick Tracy had made the leap to the big screen before Superman had even hit newsstands, and both saw their serial adventures get two sequels. While Flash Gordonparticularly the first one, was a faithful within the limitations of its budget translation of the Alex Raymond comic strips, Dick Tracy was less so. Years before Richard Donner and Christopher Reevethis one made audiences believe a man could fly, and featured a perfectly cast Tom Tyler in the title role, but was still rather beholden to serial storytelling conventions and the aforementioned budgetary limitations.

María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.

Johnson Email: [email protected] Office: 1917 Dunton Tower Phone: (613) 520-2600 ext. 2331 Office Hours: Tuesdays 1:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m. Course Description This course has several broad goals, foremost among them is to guide students towards a fuller, richer, more pleasurable, more knowledgeable, and more intellectually stimulating experience of reading comics. To this end, the course will begin with a substantial introduction to the formal and technical dimensions of comics as a medium of expression. We will learn about how elements like the comic panel and the comic page function as systems of meaning and how visual and verbal systems of signification converge and interact within graphic space. We will develop our skills in visual literacy and examine some of the ways that comic narratives have shaped but also challenged the conventions of the medium across a very broad range of visual styles, genres, and aesthetic projects. Once we have developed some preliminary facility with the formal elements and technical language of comics, we will begin to pursue the secondary goals of the course in greater detail: (1) developing a sense of the material and cultural history of North American comics and (2) developing a sense of the emergent academic field of comic studies.
