This is my first experience with any of the Batman comics. I've known Joker for as long as I can remember from the cartoons and then from the movies. And to speak the truth, I've always thought him Joker: A Celebration of 75 Years be kind of a joke. Now I'm not so sure anymore. I found the early comics tedious. I disliked the art and I disliked Batman. He was I don't know The way he looked and his lines felt so, so bad. He almost seemed good-spirited. And I'm used to the dark, depressed Batman the way he This is my first experience with any of the Batman comics. And I'm used to the dark, depressed Batman the way he has been depicted in movies didn't help with that. Anyway, this was never about Bats, it's Joker: A Celebration of 75 Years been about Joker. This is a complicated rating for me. Perhaps the most complicated of Joker: A Celebration of 75 Years year. See, the first or so pages of this book are pretty Joker: A Celebration of 75 Years 1. When I wasn't bored I was dreading turning the page because I was sure boredom was coming. The last Joker: A Celebration of 75 Years so pages are 5 stars. I usually love older DC comics because if I'm not laughing at how campy the dialogue is Dick, my son, I love you but you tell more dad jokes than Danny Tanner I'm interested in the mystery. With the Joker, they started This is a complicated rating for me. With the Joker, they started with a cold blooded, calculated killer. He made radio broadcasts about who was on his hit list and then he terrorized Gotham by sneaking in and killing his targets despite the police's best efforts. He drove Batman crazy and he was a force to be reckoned with. Then the Comics Code came along and said "Yeah, you're scaring the kiddies. Get rid of him or lighten him up. It was so goofy I put this book down several times. The art wasn't great either. Then the 70's happened, the Comics Code lightened up and they flipped the switch and turned Joker into a monster again. Well, he killed people with his laughing gas again. Then he killed Jason Todd and it seemed like that was the worst he could do. For the 80's, beating a child to death with a crowbar was pretty damn bad. Then we hit the millennium and it was like the writers Joker: A Celebration of 75 Years "You thought that was evil? Watch this! Violence wise. The writing got significantly better. The most horrifying story, one that reminded me of that episode of Six Feet Under that me and most everyone could never sit through again, is the one where Tim unknowingly gets in the car with the Joker. He gasses Tim, ties him to the car seat and drives through the Gotham night with a dead married couple in the backseat. They've been Joker gassed to die with huge grins on their faces and Tim is rightfully horrified. He's trying to get out when he feels a toy car underneath the seat and he realizes this couple have a little boy that's been orphaned. He's forced to sit there as the Joker drives through the city hitting people indiscriminately. He kills several people, all the while telling Tim there's no way he'll be able to escape. The final straw is him driving closer and closer to a group of children sitting on Santa's lap. Tim's horrified and in a brilliant moment, tells a Marx joke and the Joker veers off course. He distracts the Joker with Groucho anecdotes and manages to escape..

  • Complexity in the Comic and Graphic Novel Medium: Inquiry Through Bestselling Batman Stories
    Complexity in the Comic and Graphic Novel Medium: Inquiry Through Bestselling Batman Stories PAUL A. CRUTCHER DAPTATIONS OF GRAPHIC NOVELS AND COMICS FOR MAJOR MOTION pictures, TV programs, and video games in just the last five Ayears are certainly compelling, and include the X-Men, Wol- verine, Hulk, Punisher, Iron Man, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Watchmen, 300, 30 Days of Night, Wanted, The Surrogates, Kick-Ass, The Losers, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and more. Nevertheless, how many of the people consuming those products would visit a comic book shop, understand comics and graphic novels as sophisticated, see them as valid and significant for serious criticism and scholarship, or prefer or appreciate the medium over these film, TV, and game adaptations? Similarly, in what ways is the medium complex according to its ad- vocates, and in what ways do we see that complexity in Batman graphic novels? Recent and seminal work done to validate the comics and graphic novel medium includes Rocco Versaci’s This Book Contains Graphic Language, Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics, and Douglas Wolk’s Reading Comics. Arguments from these and other scholars and writers suggest that significant graphic novels about the Batman, one of the most popular and iconic characters ever produced—including Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley’s Dark Knight Returns, Grant Morrison and Dave McKean’s Arkham Asylum, and Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s Killing Joke—can provide unique complexity not found in prose-based novels and traditional films.

STATIC, YET FLUCTUATING: THE EVOLUTION OF BATMAN AND HIS AUDIENCES by PERRY DUPRE DANTZLER Under the Direction of H. Calvin Thomas ABSTRACT The Batman media franchise (comics, movies, novels, television, and cartoons) is unique because no other form of written or visual texts has as many artists, audiences, and forms of expression. Understanding the various artists and audiences and what Batman means to them is to understand changing trends and thinking in American culture. The character of Batman has developed into a symbol with relevant characteristics that develop and evolve with each new story and new author. The Batman canon has become so large and contains so many different audiences that it has become a franchise that can morph to fit any group of viewers/readers. Our understanding of Batman and the many readings of him gives us insight into ourselves as a culture in our particular place in history.

The Joker has been murdered. His killer’s identity is a mystery. Batman is the World’s Greatest Detective. But what happens when the person he is searching for is the man staring back at him in the mirror? With no memory of what happened on the night of the murder, Batman is going to need some help. Who better to set him straight than John Constantine? The problem is that as much as John loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people’s heads even more.

  • Should Batman Kill the Joker?” by Mark D
    !New York Times: “Should Batman kill the Joker?” By Mark D. White and Robert Arp Published: Friday, July 25, 2008 ! Batman should kill the Joker. How many of us would agree with that? Quite a few, we'd wager. Even Heath Ledger's Joker in "The Dark Knight" marvels at Batman's refusal to kill him. After all, the Joker is a murderous psychopath, and Batman could save countless innocent lives by ending his miserable existence once and for all. Of course, there are plenty of masked loonies ready to take the Joker's place, but none of them has ever shown the same twisted devotion to chaos and tragedy as the Clown Prince of Crime. But if we say that Batman should kill the Joker, doesn't that imply that we should torture terrorism suspects if there's a chance of getting information that could save innocent lives? Of course, terrorism is all too present in the real world, and Batman only exists in the comics and movies. So maybe we're just too detached from the Dark Knight and the problems of Gotham City, so we can say "go ahead, kill him." But, if anything, that detachment implies that there's more at stake in the real world - so why aren't we tougher on actual terrorists than we are on the make-believe Joker? Pop culture, such as the Batman comics and movies, provides an opportunity to think philosophically about issues and topics that parallel the real world. For instance, thinking about why Batman has never killed the Joker may help us reflect on our issues with terrorism and torture, specifically their ethics.

    Revista de Estudios Empresariales. Segunda época. Número: 1 (2017). Páginas: 16 – 33 DOI: 10.17561/ree.v0i1.3186 PERSPECTIVA HISTÓRICA DE LA LIBERTAD CREATIVA Y EL RECONOCIMIENTO ARTÍSTICO EN LA INDUSTRIA DEL COMIC BOOK ESTADOUNIDENSE (1935-1986) AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS BUSINESS' CREATIVITY FREEDOM AND ARTISTIC RECOGNITION IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE (1935-1986) Rodríguez Moreno, José Joaquín (University of Washington/Universidad de Cádiz) * RESUMEN Las industrias culturales son negocios no convencionales que necesitan ofrecer incentivos particulares a sus empleados, entre ellos libertad creativa y reconocimiento artístico. Pese a ello, la industria del comic book se apoyó en un rígido sistema de producción que, durante sus primeras décadas de vida, daba poco o ningún reconocimiento a la mayoría de sus trabajadores. El presente artículo se adentra en las razones por las que ese primer sistema de trabajo comenzó a cambiar y el contexto que ayudó a dicha transformación. Para ello, analizamos el sistema de producción, las ventas y las propias impresiones del personal creativo. Palabras claves: Sistemas de producción, historia de la historieta, estudios culturales, libertad creativa, cultura de masas. JEL: L23. ABSTRACT Cultural industries are nonconventional business which need to offer special incentives to their workers – creative freedom and recognition among them. Nonetheless, in its first decades of life the comic book industry used a rigid system of production and didn't give any recognition to most of its employees; it needed nearly thirty years to start to change to another production system. This text wants to know why that first system started to change, and what circumstances helped this change. In order to do it, we analyze the production system, the sales and the perspective of the creative staff.

    1 Detective Comics #27: The very first glimpse we get of the guy and already he looks pissed. 2 The first time we see Batman’s origin. It, um, won’t be the last. But modern retellings invariably discard this candlelit oath- making bit of business, likely deeming it hokey. Which: sure it is. But to skip it does a grave disservice; that oath is who Batman is. 3 For the very first time, the Joker strikes. 4 Thirty-eight years after that gruesome first kill, the Englehart/ Rogers/Austin team would pay fannish homage to it—and to a lot of Batman’s history—during their acclaimed run. 5 Enter: the pixie-booted pre- pubescent! Brought on board just a year after Batman’s first appearance to lighten the mood, Robin doubled sales and touched off a vogue for kid sidekicks. But! 6 (Detail of above page.) For decades, Robin’s steadfast appearance at Batman’s side has invited snide jokes and innuendo. Perhaps this was inevitable, even fated. Some unfortunate kerning in his introductory scroll (“ . .takes under his protect- ing mantle GUYS WHERE’S THE SPACE BETWEEN ‘AN’ AND ‘ALLY’ AW GEEZ STOP THE DAMN PRESSES”) couldn’t have helped matters. 7 Robin’s chirpy presence made for a sunnier Batman. His rogues’ gallery felt it too: suddenly mass-murdering became passé and petty larceny was au courant. Take this goon: Joe Coyne, the Penny Plunderer, and his “crime symbol.” In Gotham’s underworld, ya gotta have a gimmick. 8 In the ’50s, Batman’s supporting cast swelled with masked hangers-on.
