Robinson gave the kids some superhero paraphernalia before leaving about the same time as his new acquaintances. Although they were looked upon as social royalty in life, Thomas and Martha Wayne's charitable contributions to the city of Gotham are often overshadowed by their violent deaths. Batman's car, the Batmobile, has gone through several redesigns through time. It began with the murder of his parents, continued into years of intense and obsessive physical and mental training, and culminated in a frustrating and largely unsuccessful attempt to combat crime in Gotham City. In response to the public's newfound contempt of law enforcement, the Gotham police force became increasingly apathetic towards those it was sworn to protect. The only survivor was Bruce, who was spared from his parents' fate by approaching law enforcement. Superman cowriter Chris Terrio has since rewritten Affleck's script , and Matt Reeves has taken over as director.

  • 1 “Bruce Wayne's Traumatic Past and Batman's New History: Ego
    1 “Bruce Wayne’s Traumatic Past and Batman’s New History: Ego-Ideal and Ideal Ego in the Batman Origin Myth” Kelly Duquette Honors Thesis, Spring 2010 Director: Terry Harpold Reader: Donald Ault CONTINUOUS AND COMPLEX CHARACTERS The continuous and yet episodic nature of the superhero comic genre requires characters and storylines that can withstand the test of time. A caped, tight-wearing crusader with an affinity for theatrics can only protect the fictitious population of an equally fictitious city for so long. Eventually, storylines dry up and the hero’s sensational qualities are exhausted, unless an element of more profound significance is added which can take the character and storyline in a new direction. The modern Batman is a prime example. A handsome billionaire’s benevolence and bravery is no longer—if perhaps it ever was—enough to keep the contemporary reader interested. Such a storyline may be renovated with extreme and supernatural elements,1 but a basic problem remains: to ask the contemporary reader to continue to accept that a grown man dresses in a bat costume for altruistic reasons alone (to “fight crime,” “save his city,” etc.) is an unreasonable demand. The superhero must, like the reader, evolve over time, leaving some qualities behind and taking up new ones: the world the contemporary reader lives in, much like Gotham City, is too gritty and too complex to accept an unchanging hero. To keep readers engaged in the form—that is, to continue to generate the drama of the comic book hero—the 1 The Batman universe is home to various supervillains; for example Killer Croc, a humanoid lizard with massive strength (Detective Comics #523, 1983), or Solomon Grundy, a zombie creature who returns from the dead after being murdered and thrown into the swamp (All-American Comics #3, 1941).

  • Edwards and Monnet 2Nd Pages.Indd
    6 “I’ll Be Whatever Gotham Needs Me to Be” Batman, the Gothic and Popular Culture Agnieszka Soltysik Monnet Batman fi rst appeared in 1939, close on the heels of the recently created and hugely successful Superman. The young comic book industry, just emerg- ing as a separate medium from the newspaper comic strip, and hitherto mainly defi ned by men in suits, now demanded more visually appealing (i.e. costumed) characters. Batman was born as a darker and more com- plex variation on the red-caped superhero: he is Superman’s Gothic dou- ble.1 Although many superheroes were created in the 1940s and since then, Batman has remained the darkest and most problematic, not least because his powers come not from a magical source but from the brooding inten- sity of a childhood trauma. Over seventy years later, Batman has grown to become bigger than ever, eclipsing even Superman in recent decades. Why has this been the case? And how did this happen? In addressing these ques- tions, I want to suggest that the main reason for the success of Batman in the twenty-fi rst century—a multi-billion dollar Batman industry—has been Christopher Nolan’s return to the darker roots of the Batman story. Like any enduring Gothic fi gure, Batman’s regenerative cultural power depends on his ambivalence, his ethical complexity and moral ambiguity. On a formal level, this ambivalence plays itself out in the tension between Bat- man’s camp aesthetics and the Gothic characteristics of the fi gure; that is, between the campy smirk of the “Caped Crusader” and the furrowed brow of the brooding “Dark Knight.” Historically, whenever Batman is camped to its limit, the Gothic creeps in, returning the character to a darker and more complicated fi gure within the narrative.

  • Regeneration & Rebirth: Anatomy of the Franchise Reboot
    Scope: An Online Journal of Film and Television Studies Issue 22 February 2012 Regeneration & Rebirth: Anatomy of the Franchise Reboot William Proctor, University of Kingston, United Kingdom In 2005, Christopher Nolan resurrected the Batman brand from the cinematic graveyard and revived the film franchise for the 21st-century consumer. This successful rejuvenation, in both the critical and economic spheres, has resulted in a groundswell of franchise activity that spawned a set of texts increasingly referred to as the “reboot” cycle of films. To some extent, the strategy here is to nullify history and disconnect stagnant or failed product from a new, cinematic experiment. This provides an opportunity for the major Hollywood film studios to resuscitate, recycle, and regenerate “age-old but dilapidated franchise[s]” by returning to a recognizable and iconic product range rather than original, untested material (Day, 2009: 41). From an economic perspective, this “protects […] investment by reducing risks” and maximizes the marketing potential of cinematic texts (Balio, quoted in Neale, 2000: 237). As Lussier claims: [Remakes and reboots] generally come from brand recognition […] Studios have these little gems in their library. They may have fallen out of favour or disappeared to some extent but they‟re still the names the public recognize. So they dust them off and try again. Quite simply they‟re easier to sell because they have name recognition. It‟s like reinvigorating the brand. (Lussier, quoted in Russell, 2009: 89) Arguably, then (and rather cynically, perhaps), the financial and critical triumph of Nolan‟s Batman series ushered in a zeitgeist of franchise regenerations that strive to emulate its accomplishments.

    BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT: CYCLE OF VIOLENCE VOLUME 2 PDF, EPUB, EBOOK David Finch, Gregg Andrew Hurwitz | 160 pages | 30 Jul 2013 | DC Comics | 9781401240745 | English | United States Batman the Dark Knight: Cycle of Violence Volume 2 PDF Book The general arc of the main part of the volume is pretty generic - just your average Batman vs. No library descriptions found. It was much more interesting writing with a plot that definitely held my attention. Table of Contents. Citations contain only title, author, edition, publisher, and year published. As the Scarecrow's origin is unfurled, Batman must find out not only how to conquer this dangerous psychopath, but how to beat his own worst fear. Author Notes. There is a bit of indulgence and excess in how grim and tragic the story was told that it takes me aback half the time while reading. That's interesting since it makes Scarecrow as much more sympathetic figure than he is usually shown to be. It's a classic tale we all know as Bat-fans, but the zero issue's take lacked any kind of new insight to this aspect of Bruce's tormented psyche. Lightly used, but almost like new. In most cases, boxed games and box sets do not come with dice. Another tome I had forgotten to log while I was sick! Our grading system is listed below for your perusal. Welcome back. The most memorable moments of that book were also its most horrendously absurd particularly the creation of the White Rabbit lady who I disliked with fervor, I finished the first volume of The Dark Knight series just earlier this month, which was misleadingly entitled Knight Terrors penned by David Jenkins.
