Bizarro Sg 4 BIZARRO SUPERGIRL PART 4 WATER FIGHT Superman found the Bizarro Supergirl 50 miles north of the city. She looked different. She still had gray skin and white hair but she had on a white Supergirl T shirt, bare midriff, and a short blue skirt and red boots and cape. Superman pored on the speed reaching mach 10. He arrived ten seconds before the sound of him knifing through the air. She didn’t notice the vapor trail behind him. Superman tackled Supergirl from behind bending her backwards over his shoulder. They went flying off. With Superman’s head tight against her hip, Supergirl put him in a head lock and started tugging on his neck pulling them off course zooming across the sky out of control. As they streaked back and forth across the sky Supergirl put on the breaks and they eventually came to a stop high up over the rolling hills. They hung in midair struggling with each other. He eventually slid around in front of her with his face pressed into her sexy teenaged stomach. Underneath the thin layer of baby fat, he could feel a wall of rock- hard muscle. He went to reverse body slam her heaving him back over his head. As they fell they started pinwheeling faster and faster. They came down like a buzzsaw sending branches flying in the old growth forest, before hitting the ground. Superman shoved her down as they got up. He landed a right cross snapping her head back and followed up with a left that knocked her back down to one knee. She landed a gut shot that bored deep into his body and then a uppercut that sent him flying backward through a large tree shattering it. He took the tree and used it like a ball bat on Supergirl hitting her over her head. She blocked the tree shattering it. As the splinters flew, he zoomed in on her landing a superman punch knocking her back. Large splinters flew and they closed in on each other standing toe to toe trading punches. Neither tried to defend, content to pound the other into submission. Shock wave after shock wave raced throughout the forest as they continued punishing each others chins. She landed two punch to his head and side and blocked his counter punch to the head. His second punch to her stomach doubled her over. Supergirl landed two to his gut and backed away avoiding his attack. She kicked the inside of his knee. He nearly went down. Kara landed two fast crosses to his face before boxing his ears. As he was reeling in pain she took old of his head and pulled it in as she drove her knee into the side of his head. The Man of Steel was dazed and slowly sank to his knees. From his knees he snapped a jab into her stomach. Shock waves rippled across her stomach. She took a step back and returned with a renewed look of determination on her youthful face. She kneed him two more times to the head. Desperate to get some distance from his attacker, he rose up and staggered away but she moved in throwing a storm of punches driving him back and down to one knee. She moved around him and hooked both of her arms around his, locking her hands behind his head. The little teenage girl had gained dominance over the much bigger Superman. Kara leapt into the air carrying him with her. As Kal struggeled to break her hold, she coiled her legs around his gaining complete control over him. They flew wildly streaking about. Until she spotted something hard to smash him into. “Oh, let’s try that.” As Superman squirmed against Supergirl’s body, Powergirl who had been watching from the fortress of solitude ready to treat Supergirl, lost sight of them. “Now what do I do?” Supergirl dove, slamming Superman’s body first into the top of a hydro electric dam. She kept going driving him through a hundred thousand tons of reinforced concrete. He put the breaks on and they eventually came to a halt in the newly created cavity deep inside the dam. She only flung him over her back like a wrestlers and then slammed into him again driving in a different direction through the dam. They burst through the water side of the dam and the rushing water washed them both through the dam and out the other side. Powergirl, who was watching from the fortress, raced into action. As a flood raced down the valley leading to thousands of homes down stream, Superman and Supergirl traded punches in the torrent of water. He was clearly having trouble standing and fighting. She was faster and fresher. Sensing he was nearly beaten she moved in and landed a powerful punch to his head, stomach and kicked the back of is knee knocked Superman down to one knee. He paused to catch his breath clutching to her body, resting his face against her bear tummy. She was amused. “Give up old man, and I’ll be merciful.” He gathered his last energy and counterpunched to her stomach and caught hold of her hand as she stepped back. He snapped her back and landed another punch to her stomach. Jerking her up by her collar he tried to hit her again but she blocked the first and caught hold and stopped his second. As he strained to power is fist past her hand, she kneed him in the balls and machine-gunned eight more punches to his face. As he fell away from her landing face down. She leapt up into the sky. Supergirl returned with a 100 foot section of concrete and slammed it down on Superman as he got up. As the water gushed and splashed she pushed and ground the concrete down into the ground. After several seconds, the ground started to tremble and shake. Superman exploded from the ground under her feet and carried her off. They zoomed off wrestling with each other. He was hesitant to grab the 16 year-old girl. She had no such qualms. She was much faster and her slender arms easily slipped between his guard. She opted not to wrestle with him and tagged his chin over and over again. Infuriated, he managed to grab hold of his tormenter. As he pulled her in, she rained punches down on his face seemingly from every direction. The world was spinning, All he could see was her chest and stomach moving up past him. She climbed up his body as they flew and climbed up over his head and down his back hooking a leg under his chin. She locked it in and started elbowing him on the top of his head. His hands slid along her body until he found her legs. He loosened her hold and she stopped beating his head and tried to regain her hold. They crashed down on one of the docks in Metropolis harbor and rolled about. She released her hold and raced around him and shoved him down. She pinned him face down with his arms pinned behind his back held by her legs. Seated on the small of his back she started pulling his head back trying to break his spine. He cried out in pain. A sudden weakness came over both of them. Hope was there with a kryptonite ring. She attacked Kara landing several punches crushing the ring. Hope untangled the unconscious Kryptonians and carried Supergirl and Superman off to the fortress. Over the Arctic ocean, the blast of cold air revived Supergirl. Hope was carrying them I her arms and Superman’s body was blocking the kryptonite rays from Kara. Supergirl’s knee crushed the power bladder on Hopes suit (on the hip) and she fell into the sea with SM still I her other arm. Supergirl used super cold breath to temporally immobilize Hope and took Superman from her. Supergirl flew off taking Superman with her as Hope shattered the ice around her bobbing in the cold water. Unable to fly, she would be dead in a few minutes from the cold. Superman came to as they entered the fortress and tried to get away from her but she snapped him back empaling him on her knee. Stunned his body clung to her leg as she pounded his kidneys. He pulled away from her but she moved in raining punches on his face and stomach. He started to go down but she caught him and bent him over her knee backwards and savagely beat him finally putting him in a choke hold. He tried to resist but she out muscled the larger man and forced him down. Her muscles strained as his went limp. He awoke on the exam table. He easily broke the heavy restraints, too late. Supergirl fired the transmonrafier and tossed the black kryptonite into the cone of the ray near him. To be continued??? And now I need to hear from you my readers to tell me how this should end. 1, Should it end with Supergirl driving Superman mad with lust and super sex? Or 2, End with a big knock down drag em out fight. Or 3, You really don’t care about this trash. Chicago voting rules apply, vote early and vote often..

The title itself suggests many of the topics about which women were concerned, or at least were supposed to concern them: the mediation of identity through heterosexual partnership, the pressure to marry and the simultaneous emphasis placed on individual achievement. Concerns about marriage and Lois’ ability to enter into it routinely provide the sole narrative dynamic for stories and Superman engages in different methods of avoiding the matrimonial schemes devised by Lois or her main romantic rival, Lana Lang.

  • Crossmedia Adaptation and the Development of Continuity in the Dc Animated Universe
    “INFINITE EARTHS”: CROSSMEDIA ADAPTATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUITY IN THE DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE Alex Nader 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 May 2015 Committee: Jeff Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2015 Alexander Nader All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeff Brown, Advisor This thesis examines the process of adapting comic book properties into other visual media. I focus on the DC Animated Universe, the popular adaptation of DC Comics characters and concepts into all-ages programming. This adapted universe started with Batman: The Animated Series and comprised several shows on multiple networks, all of which fit into a shared universe based on their comic book counterparts. The adaptation of these properties is heavily reliant to intertextuality across DC Comics media. The shared universe developed within the television medium acted as an early example of comic book media adapting the idea of shared universes, a process that has been replicated with extreme financial success by DC and Marvel (in various stages of fruition). I address the process of adapting DC Comics properties in television, dividing it into “strict” or “loose” adaptations, as well as derivative adaptations that add new material to the comic book canon. This process was initially slow, exploding after the first series (Batman: The Animated Series) changed networks and Saturday morning cartoons flourished, allowing for more opportunities for producers to create content. References, crossover episodes, and the later series Justice League Unlimited allowed producers to utilize this shared universe to develop otherwise impossible adaptations that often became lasting additions to DC Comics publishing.

  • AKA Clark Kent) Middle Name Is Joseph
    Superman’s (AKA Clark Kent) Middle Name Is Joseph. What’s that?! There in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s the Man of Tomorrow! Superman has gone by many names over the years, but one thing has remained the same. He has always stood for what’s best about humanity, all of our potential for terrible destructive acts, but also our choice to not act on the level of destruction we could wreak. Superman was first created in 1933 by Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, the writer and artist respectively. His first appearance was in Action Comics #1, and that was the beginning of a long and illustrious career for the Man of Steel. In his unmistakable blue suit with red cape, and the stylized red S on his chest, the figure of Superman has become one of the most recognizable in the world. The original Superman character was a bald telepathic villain that was focused on world domination. It was like a mix of Lex Luthor and Professor X. Superman’s powers include incredible strength, the ability to fly. X-ray vision, super speed, invulnerability to most attacks, super hearing, and super breath. He is nearly unstoppable. However, Superman does have one weakness, Kryptonite. When exposed to this radioactive element from his home planet, he becomes weak and helpless. Superman’s alter ego is mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent. He lives in the city of Metropolis and works for the newspaper the Daily Planet. Clark is in love with fellow reporter Lois Lane.

It argues that this connection was not integral to the character as he was originally created, but was imposed by later writers over time and mainly for cinematic adaptations. This thesis also tracks the history of how Christians and churches viewed Superman, as the film studios began to exploit marketing opportunities by comparing Superman and Jesus. This thesis uses the methodological framework of intertextuality to ground its treatment of the sources, but does not follow all of the assumptions of intertextual theorists. iii MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies ABSTRACT This thesis examines the historical trajectory of how the comic book character of Superman came to be identified as a Christ figure in popular consciousness. Superman was created in 1938, but the character developed significantly from his earliest incarnations.

  • “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 ..........................................................................................................................

The last Supergirl trade (before New 52) contains 3 arcs and resolves threads from previous volumes (and War of Supermen)By R. H.This is the last trade collection from Supergirl before the New 52 and contains 3 arcs. (DC cancelled the Good-looking Corpse trade that was supposed to come after this one.)The first and longest arc deals with the trade's title, Bizarrogirl, and the story there accomplishes much in allowing Supergirl to move beyond the events of the War of the Supermen and also helping out Bizarro's cuboid Earth (yep, this is the same one from Superman: Escape From Bizarroworld). The adventure is very fun, full of fights and hilarity (as expected from stories involving Bizarros). Plus, the emotions explored here work well in Supergirl facing her doubts and self-inflicted guilt from the aforementioned war.The second arc is an entertaining one-shot with the Legion of Superheros (although a different iteration from previous Supergirl trades).The final arc deals with a seemingly mundane villain, but the context in this final arc finally brings to a closure a previously unresolved thread from earlier Supergirl trades.
