SYNOPSIS It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. WHV / The Dark Knight Rises Page 3 But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.

Professor Suplente: Gustavo de Castro Resumo Este trabalho tem como finalidade explorar a formação mitológica do personagem Batman, explorando a parte inicial de sua jornada, o chamado à aventura. Para tal foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa qualitativa tendo como base quadrinhos publicados a partir dos anos 80 e uma relação de filmes produzidos nos últimos 50 anos, além de uma revisão bibliográfica para embasar a argumentação. Ao final de toda a problematização, iniciada por questionamentos sobre a origem e vida plena de Bruce Wayne, fica claro como o Batman constrói sua personalidade de herói através do ato de predestinação Gotham, a própria cidade onde vive, mas, que nesse momento se configura não somente como local habitacional, mas entidade, deusa-mãe.

TUCKER COBBLEPOT and ESTHER COBBLEPOT, concern and relief etched on their faces at the same time, stare onward. The baby stroller floats on the water toward the sewer access. It falls in. Esther sighs. ESTHER Lord, forgive us. TUCKER We can never be forgiven for what we’ve done. Esther looks to Tucker in shock. ESTHER We had to. There was no other choice. TUCKER Was there? We’re no better than Carl Grissom for what we’ve done. ESTHER You can’t compare us to that monster. He has caused suffering in Gotham that no one could ever match. Tucker shakes his head. TUCKER Regardless, we’re the worst parents ever. NAPIER (O.S.) You’ve got that right. Tucker and Esther turn. Young JACK NAPIER stands in front of them, holding his handgun directly at them.

  • 미디어 윈도우 전용 애니메이션 제작 활성화를 위한 연구: Direct to Video 슈퍼히어로 애니메이션 제작 시스템에 대한 고찰을 중심으로 I
    http://dx.doi.org/10.7230/KOSCAS.2017.49.053 미디어 윈도우 전용 애니메이션 제작 활성화를 위한 연구: Direct to Video 슈퍼히어로 애니메이션 제작 시스템에 대한 고찰을 중심으로 I. 서론 II. DTV (Direct to Video) 애니메이션으로서의 슈퍼히어로 애니메이션 III. 슈퍼히어로 애니메이션 제작 시스템의 특성 IV. 결론 참고문헌 ABSTRACT 권재웅 초 록 본 연구는 애니메이션 시장의 새로운 윈도우를 활성화시키기 위해 DC 코믹스(DC Comics)의 슈퍼히어로 만화를 원작으로 하는 워너 브러더스(Warner Bros)사의 슈퍼히어로 애 니메이션 제작 시스템을 분석했다. 이는 국내의 미디어 환경에서 DVD용으로 제작되는 과정을 적용할 수 있는 윈도우로 IPTV를 고려할 수 있게 되었기 때문이다. 각 작품의 엔딩 크레딧을 분석하는 일종의 텍스트 분석으로서 제작 관여 인력의 역할과 인원을 분석 대상으로 했다. 총 애니메이션 28편을 분석한 결과 다음과 같이 나타났다. 제작 시스템에서 나타나는 특징은 첫 째 제작자 혹은 감독의 역할을 복수에 걸쳐 하는 인물들이 있다는 점이고, 둘째 개인이 아닌 복수의 인물에 의한 집단 제작 시스템을 활용한다는 점이며, 셋째 감독과 제작자의 역할을 모 두 담당하는 인물 활용이라는 점이다. 외주 시스템에서 나타나는 특징으로는 첫째 한국과 일본 의 기업만이 외주에 참여하고 있고, 둘째 한 해에 제작되는 작품을 한 기업이 모두 전담하기보 다는 2개 정도의 기업에 분산되고 있으며, 셋째 편당 참여인력 면에서는 일본의 인력이 한국의 인력보다 많다는 점이다. 넷째, <배트맨: 고담 나이트> (Batman: Gotham Knight)는 완성형 제작방식에 조금 더 근접했고, 다섯째 일본 기업이 한국 기업에게 업무를 주는 재하청의 모습 도 나타나고 있으며, 여섯째 한국 업체의 투입인력의 역할은 주요 집중 업무가 key 제작으로 변화가 조금 있다. 한국 애니메이션 제작 시스템에 대한 적용하기 위한 핵심도 제작 시스템 운영방식과 외 주 제작 시스템이라는 특성에 따라 제시할 수 있다. 제작 시스템 운영 부분에서는 첫째 제작 시스템의 집단화에 대한 고려가 필요하다는 점이고, 둘째 유니버스형 스토리텔링 개발이 필요 하다는 점이다.
