For example, in DC Comics published the monthly crossover, Flashpoint, which included seventy interconnected titles while Marvel issued the colossal Fear Itself which incorporated over one hundred tie-ins which had long-time fans scratching their heads in disbelief and suspicion. For example, there are far more people who have seen a Batman film than read a Batman comic as indicated by the inordinate discrepancy between each medium's profitability. Retrieved 21 May The book also has some great illustrations from the comic books and I really enjoyed looking at them. I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. In The Flash of Two Worlds, Barry Allen comes face-to- face with his Golden Age ancestor, by vibrating at such speed that he passes across the liminal barrier that separates his world from a parallel universe which became known to readers as Earth Schwartz, Julius Man of Two Worlds. The point I want to make, is that an adaptation does not only apply to external mediums, but the medium itself. Death is rarely, if ever, permanent in comic books and Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Human Torch and Captain America "have all died and been miraculously resurrected through some quirk of ratiocination" Proctor 7.

Brooker points out that Batman Begins adapts "not one text, but many If you have some time to spare for a well-researched book about a beloved comic character, then you may want I won this book in a First Reads giveaway, and I am impressed with the research. This book has a great introduction that explains Batman's origin. What is Batman Begins adapting? Also explores the film's realism in contrast to past Batman films, the film's reception, and its box office. Following the events of Crisis, Superman was rebooted for the first time in The Man of Steel Byrne which updated the legend for the neo-liberal s to take account of the overwhelming success of the Superman film. I strongly recommend it. The events in Crisis depicted the death of Supergirl, and the end of the Barry Allen Flash character who spent twenty- plus years in suspended animation until Geoff Johns, by emulatiing the Julius Schwartz reboot technique, resurrected both The Flash and Green Lantern The Silver Age: Canon, Continuity, Complexity Many critics argue that the genre's regeneration in the s can be attributed to Julius Schwartz who single- handedly rebooted DC icons such as The Flash and Green Lantern, so much so, that he has an almost messianic reputation in comic book lore as the man who saved the industry from complete collapse. By William Proctor. Geoff Johns' Secret Origin elucidates the narrative once again in what was heralded as the "definitive story". But, as we will see, this is a problematic assertion as the intent to disconnect invariably creates intrinsic connections. Sequart has published several scholarly non-fiction books on subjects related to the medium. More filters. Similarly, Superman's debut in - what Chabon 12 calls 'minute zero' of the superhero genre - cannot be described as the source, or urtext, as subsequent telling and retellings, 'ret-cons' and 'reboots' "are available to the audience at one and the same time Improving the Foundations: Batman Begins from Comics to Screen 2nd edition Writer The Village Voice. This provides an opportunity to resuscitate, recycle and regenerate 'damaged' franchises by returning to recognizable and iconic product range rather than original, untested material. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Darius did it for me. This definitive book studies the film and its comic-book appropriation in detail. Landow argues that, the act of reading "takes the additional form of constructing, however provisionally, one's own text out of fragments, out of separate lexias". The reboot seeks the status of 'beginning again' but cannot ever achieve this in a clean sense. Like all generic artefacts, the superhero genre is a combination of standardization and differentiation, but, I would argue that the reboot paradigm operates in a rather different fashion.

Over the years since the multiverse opened up an incredible array of possibilities, the DC narrative had become bloated, convoluted and incredibly paradoxical. Community Reviews.

And the writers Landow, George Hypertext 3. No fan of the film, whether novice or expert at Batman comics, should be without this book. Shapira's treatise gathers up plot threads and illuminates character motivations to reveal the tale as an attempt, in Morrison's own words, 'to turn the very basic horrors of existence into comedy and poetry. The ratiocination of the multiverse allowed both incarnations to exist within the same narrative universe and opened up a raft of possibilities for story-telling. Frank Miller's Batman: Year One re-envisioned the origins of Batman; and Wonder Woman, who also died during Crisis, 'begins again' in a newly numbered monthly comic book. None of the cinematic Batman texts can be described as adapting a particular comic book; rather, they are "free interpretations built around a basic framework, rather than adaptation as we currently understand the term" Brooker Batman's first story in "is not the last word of the myth, but its first, its starting point - and its body of stories increases every month" Brooker, forthcoming. First and foremost, Batman Begins had to distance itself from the Schumacher era in order to re-establish itself as a viable commodity. Retrieved 17 March Following Tim Burton's instalments, Schumacher's "represents some kind of nadir, certainly for the franchise, and arguably for the genre" Kaveney Coupled with the end of World War 2 and the resulting decline in popularity and profit, this signified a fundamental shift which stultified comic book content to the point of consumer disinterest. This paper, then, seeks to discuss this phenomenon through an overview of its modus operandi across comic book history with a focus on DC Comics and, by extension, its impact and raison d'etre in film.

The idea of infinite worlds, each with its own history and its own superheroes, was intoxicating and gave DC an even more expansive canvas. I recommend this book to fans of the movie or comics.

Continuity is a labile and mutable affair within the superhero genre and each 'reboot' requires diegetic ratiocination. As with the comic book reboot, we are talking about franchises here, entertainment universes, brands with instantly recognizable iconography that portray the 'beginning again' of a narrative with the protagonist in the process of "becoming" Arnett 3. A reboot is a brand-new product; yet it is already old.

Rather, they borrow, steal and assimilate from a wellspring of textual enunciations which demonstrate a "long chain of parasitical presences, echoes, allusions, guests [and] ghosts of previous texts" Miller 22 that have no static, explicit origin point. Related Papers. It is fair to say that the genre was immature and unsophisticated during this period and bears little resemblance to the byzantine mega-narratives that germinated in the late s and beyond. One can trace the DC narrative from beginning to present day and the collapse and subsequent rebirth of the universe, or multiverse, is part of the story. Steve Taylor-bryant rated it really liked it Feb 16, All reboots are serialised narratives beginning To illustrate this rationale, one can look at the re-articulation of the Superman origin story which has been revised, reconditioned and retold many, many times since its beginnings.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough 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 August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

  • 11 Tightbeam
    11 TIGHTBEAM Up until now Bujold has kept the relationship concerning Aral, Cordelia, and Oliver on the “down-low” even from readers. I checked with other reviewers and found I was not alone in not realizing that they were even lovers let alone involved in a ménage a trois. Some of the re- ally fanatic fans of the series have been going back to the older books to see if the author really foreshadowed this development or has just thrown it into the story arc now after thirty years, but I wasn’t planning on doing it myself. May the Schwartz Be With You ...Review by Tom McGovern A few issues ago, I reviewed The MLJ Companion, which is a de- tailed history of the Archie Comics superheroes. More recently, I’ve been reading The Silver Age Sci-Fi Companion by Mike W. Barr, which is also an interesting book, though not as impressive or absorb- ing as the MLJ work. There are a few differences between the two works. MLJ is in full color throughout, whereas Silver Age Sci-Fi is all in B&W, except for the covers. The MLJ book is also about twice as thick, and consists of historical articles, interviews and anecdotes, with a small amount of the content consisting of actual listings of issues, artists, writers, dates, etc. Silver Age Sci-Fi, on the other hand, consists mostly of listings that are much more detailed than those in MLJ, along with a few articles and interviews thrown in. That’s not necessarily a bad thing; it’s just a dif- ferent approach.

Jim It goes without saying that one of John Williams’ most epic and influential film scores of all time is his score for the first “Superman” film. To this day it remains as iconic as the film itself. From the Ruby- Spears animated series to “Seinfeld” to “Smallville” and its reappearance in “Superman Returns”, its status in popular culture continues to resonate. Danny Elfman has also said that it will appear in the forthcoming “Justice League” film. When word was released in September 2017 that Warner Home Video announced plans to release a new two-disc Blu-ray of “Superman” as part of the Warner Archive Collection, fans around the world rejoiced with excitement at the news that the 188-minute extended version of the film - a slightly shorter version of which was first broadcast on ABC-TV on February 7 & 8, 1982 - would be part of the release.

  • Thinking About Journalism with Superman 132
    Thinking about Journalism with Superman 132 Thinking about Journalism with Superman Matthew C. Ehrlich Professor Department of Journalism University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana, IL [email protected] Superman is an icon of American popular culture—variously described as being “better known than the president of the United States [and] more familiar to school children than Abraham Lincoln,” a “triumphant mixture of marketing and imagination, familiar all around the world and re-created for generation after generation,” an “ideal, a hope and a dream, the fantasy of millions,” and a symbol of “our universal longing for perfection, for wisdom and power used in service of the human race.”1 As such, the character offers “clues to hopes and tensions within the current American consciousness,” including the “tensions between our mythic values and the requirements of a democratic society.”2 This paper uses Superman as a way of thinking about journalism, following the tradition of cultural and critical studies that uses media artifacts as tools “to size up the shape, character, and direction of society itself.”3 Superman’s alter ego Clark Kent is of course a reporter for a daily newspaper (and at times for TV news as well), and many of his closest friends and colleagues are also journalists. However, although many scholars have analyzed the Superman mythology, not so many have systematically analyzed what it might say about the real-world press. The paper draws upon Superman’s multiple incarnations over the years in comics, radio, movies, and television in the context of past research and criticism regarding the popular culture phenomenon.
