Lieber Title: House of Cards Advisor: Sheila Schroeder Degree Date: November 2013 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to approach adapting a comic book into a film in a unique way. With so many comic-to-film adaptations following the trends of action movies, my goal was to adapt the popular comic book, Batman, into a screenplay that is not an action film. The screenplay, House of Cards, follows the original character of Miranda Greene as she attempts to understand insanity in Gotham’s most famous criminal, the Joker. The research for this project includes a detailed look at the comic book’s publication history, as well as previous film adaptations of Batman, and Batman in other relevant media.

    The Psychological Complexity of Batman, the Joker and their Relationship in the Dark Age of Comics LARS VAN AMERONGEN-KRUISSELBRINK MICHAEL JOHN PRINCE University of Agder, 2020 Faculty of Humanities and Education Department of Foreign Languages and Translation Table of Contents: Introduction Chapter 1) Comics as a Medium Chapter 2) The World of Batman in Comics Chapter 3) The Dark Age, the Shadow and Doubles Chapter 4) Moore vs. Morrison: Batman and the Joker in The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum. Chapter 5) Murphy vs. Snyder: Batman and the Joker in White Knight and The Batman Who Laughs Conclusion Bibliography Introduction Batman and the Joker have been iconic characters ever since their creation merely one year apart 80 years ago.1 Making their debut in the comics - the duo have since been adapted to cartoons, tv-series, videogames, and movies. This has led to a franchise rivaled only by few. Equally iconic is perhaps the relationship between the two, whom one can arguably claim to be the most well-known arch enemies in comic book history (possibly history in general), surpassing even DC colleagues Superman and Lex Luther. Modern comic book history starting with the Platinum Age in 1897, is divided up into several ages due to a variety of characteristics that set the comics of their time apart.2 The comics I have chosen to focus on belong to what is referred to as the Modern Age (1986-) and most of them specifically to the Dark Age (1986-) a sub-age of the Modern Age. Arguably starting in the late 70s and early 80s, there is a general consensus that the Dark Age of comics began in 1986 with Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Alan Moore’s Watchmen.3 The two dark, gritty and complex works took the superhero genre and massively deconstructed it, providing much of the direct inspiration for what followed.

  • IN FOCUS: Gender Identity and the Superhero
    IN FOCUS: Gender Identity and the Superhero Representation and Diversity in Comics Studies by ELLEN KIRKPATRICK and SUZANNE SCOTT n spring 2011, Bart Beaty broke new ground by editing the first In Focus section of Cinema Journal devoted to comics studies.1 Beaty curated a thematically important issue, concluding with a round- table on the state of comics studies—a section befitting a rapidly evolving and expanding field. However, there was a noticeable ab- Isence of matters of representation and diversity in the section’s vision of “comics studies” and an equal dismissal of studies of representation in that roundtable. To some extent, this absence is understandable, especially as the primary function of the section was to rationalize and celebrate the study of comics as a distinct media form. Though issues of representation were certainly of concern within comics scholar- ship and culture at that time, Scott Bukatman identified “representa- tion of ” studies as one of the problems “endemic to a young field.”2 In their understandable effort to privilege the “how” of comics, the panelists, however, not only marginalized “scholarly work that tends 1 “In Focus: Comics Studies: Fifty Years after Film Studies,” ed.
