Both villains are well written and bring out an intense range of emotions from Batgirl. Cons: There are a few inconsistencies in story and art. The Firebug storyline is not that interesting. Overall: This is Batgirl: Death of the Family Volume 3 rough volume for Batgirl but an intense and interesting one for the fans. Here, Barbara Gordon is forced to face off against two enemies whose very presence has a huge effect on her life. It also helps that these characters are all well written. There are a few small flaws at random points but the collection as a whole is a major success. Batgirl Vol. Two villains dominate this collection, both are well written and bring a ton of history with them. Watching Batgirl struggle against them is an odd mix of inspiring and terrifying that proves to be very effective. This is a solid Batgirl volume and definitely the most meaningful entry in the series thus far. The first half of the collection is dominated by the Joker, whose appearance here is a tie-in to the Death of the Family event. While some of the other tie-ins, from this event, feel forced and unnatural, this one is by far the most organic and well executed. Joker and Batgirl have a horrific history that has a huge impact on their actions here. This allows Batgirl to exhibit a range of emotions that no other villain would bring out, giving fans a unique look into the darkest aspects of her psyche. Once Joker is dealt with, Batgirl goes on to face Firebug. Her struggle against this villain is definitely the most underwhelming aspect of the collection. Luckily, the Firebug storyline does not last long and Batgirl quickly goes on to confront James. Though this storyline starts with a bit of confusion characters claim James was invited to the aquarium by his mother despite the opposite being true it manages to hit many of the same high notes that the Joker storyline hit. It does this by pushing Barbara to her absolute limit and pitting her against one of the most dark and sinister adversaries she could possibly face. Setting this immediately after the Joker storyline also helps solidify this as one of the lowest moments Batgirl could possibly face. The Joker is a perfect blend of absolutely sickening terror and harmless jokes. Meanwhile, James Gordon is every bit the unrepentant sociopath readers expect him to be. The artwork Batgirl: Death of the Family Volume 3 this collection tends to be good throughout, maybe a little better than average at times. It is detailed and realistic in a way that really helps amplify the horror present throughout the book. The only major flaws here come from Batgirl: Death of the Family Volume 3 few awkwardly posed fight scenes and one apparent mix-up in the art a room is filled with dead bodies in one chapter but filled with living people in the next. Overall though, this is a nice looking collection. The story here continues in Batgirl Vol. This site uses Akismet to reduce Batgirl: Death of the Family Volume 3.

  • Joker (2019 Film) - Wikipedia
    Joker (2019 film) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joker_(2019_film) Joker (2019 film) Joker is a 2019 American psychological thriller film directed by Todd Joker Phillips, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Silver. The film, based on DC Comics characters, stars Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker. An origin story set in 1981, the film follows Arthur Fleck, a failed stand-up comedian who turns to a life of crime and chaos in Gotham City. Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Glenn Fleshler, Bill Camp, Shea Whigham, and Marc Maron appear in supporting roles. Joker was produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Films, and Joint Effort in association with Bron Creative and Village Roadshow Pictures, and distributed by Warner Bros. Phillips conceived Joker in 2016 and wrote the script with Silver throughout 2017. The two were inspired by 1970s character studies and the films of Martin Scorsese, who was initially attached to the project as a producer. The graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke (1988) was the basis for the premise, but Phillips and Silver otherwise did not look to specific comics for inspiration. Phoenix became attached in February 2018 and was cast that July, while the majority of the cast signed on by August. Theatrical release poster Principal photography took place in New York City, Jersey City, and Newark, from September to December 2018. It is the first live-action Directed by Todd Phillips theatrical Batman film to receive an R-rating from the Motion Picture Produced by Todd Phillips Association of America, due to its violent and disturbing content.

  • 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Nowadays
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Nowadays the existence of self identity is one of important things for someone to show their own characters, power and to survive in many conditions. In development era there are so many influences and movement which is changing people personality and gender originality. At this time gender are able to show the equivalence, view, differences, patterns and other behaviors. So in order to hold the self existence and gender originality, people must prove their own power self such as woman with their feminine side and man with their masculinity. In our life feminity and masculinity are formed by the culture in some people environments. Feminity and masculinity are usually associated in certain cultures. It relates with the ideal role which is represented of masculinity and feminity it self. Each role should be obtained to maintain the predicate to be masculine or feminine. People's views about the masculine and feminine eventually become a standard to realize the establishment of the division in their respective roles, and then it will influence people to behave according to the role they want. In a case such as when a man wants to be masculine, they will do things that are associated with masculinity. Most men think masculinity is derived from the physical form which they must accentuate the athletic body, his gallantry and good-looking face. Actually masculinity is not only coming from that point of 1 2 view, but more likely in the role of responsibility of the man himself in action as well as they can face their problems, power to survive and do many good things.

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.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

"That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. "So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table.
