Later, despite the Watchtower being under renovations, Wonder Woman climbs into J'onn J'onzz's Transconscience Articulator to see if she really wants to be with Batman before sitting down to confront him. Enlarge cover. The mention are legacy characters two of which are new to their mantles. I actually can't remember tbh. I was a little underwhelmed by this. The supporting villains were forgettable and were just there for the JLA to fight. The second arc wasn't nearly as good. Oh and also loved the first arc with the superhero wannabes coming to earth. He's resurfaced recently, and reclaimed his previous reputation, thanks to high profile work in the pages of the Rebirth era Flash , and that's been good to see. Scottish comic book author Grant Morrison is known for culture-jamming and the constant reinvention of his work. The art isn't perfect, but it's consistently high quality throughout the run, and these stories are historically classic now for a reason--and it's not just because they pre-date the New 52 reboot. Was it simply a moment shared by warriors on the battlefield? Community Reviews. Science Fiction. Contents [ show ]. Right now, courage is all that can light the darkness! I liked GM's take on the JLA and how they are viewed by the society around them they story about more proactive and "hard-edged" superheroes has been done in recent times with the Superman vs the Elite storylines-so I was glad to see where the original idea might have come from. Grant Morrison reinvents the mainstream superhero comic book. I like how GL and Flash bickering each other, and I have no complains on Batman being the 'God-man' like how other readers complained. Some of this was very well done, such as Giffen and DeMatteis' JLI, but readers were ready for a return of the concept of the Justice League being a collection of the biggest heroes tackling the biggest threats. The volume starts with the introduction of an unfamiliar Alien Superpeople gang called Hyperclan , which is led by their golden leader Protex to our world and they wish to turn Earth into utopia. Locked together in combat, Wonder Woman ensnares her in the Lasso of Truth , forcing Primaid to assume her true Martian shape. The reveal was fairly cool, and as always, Batman manages to outthink his enemies with his superb tactical and deductive brain. But there are plenty of good moments in this book. Lists with This Book. I especially liked t Written before Morrison became The Grant Morrison of the following decade, this is a pretty good book that serves as something of a reboot of the JLA without being all retcon and pedantic about it. I distinctly remember that stunt as something that kept me away from the DCU in the 90s, so there was nothing nostalgic about going back to it for me. Jla Vol. 1 Writer Breaking through the mental programming, Superman regains his strength and bursts free of his restraints. Contents [ show ]. While all of this is going on, Batman manages to capture A-Mortal and Zenturion. I liked that moment even if it wasn't as epic as I hoped. The panels almost slam together and overlap during the action scenes. Heck, yeah!!! Porter was largely responsible for what was called Morrison's "widescreen" adventures, and rightly so, but his art can look sloppy at times. Wow all over again! Aquaman is not really a part of the team yet and they don't even know if batman will join. Jan 02, Sandrine Plastre rated it liked it. Not to mention the way he draws Wonder Woman is terrible.

Such revolutionary stories can work, but they should develop over time and in some reasonable fashion rather than as arbitrary fiats imposed suddenly by creators. And that's impressing me just as little as this one. Mar 11, Sesana rated it liked it Shelves: comics , superhumans. But I was so bored by the dialog and everything else. Batman being…well, Batman. He brought the central league back to center stage in a title that was bleeding readers at the time. JLA, Vol. I don't get the appeal of this guy's art at all. Very middle of the road for me, but Morrison does show a lot of promise here. I really liked the idea of the Hyperclan. Every character's costume is somehow the worst version of that costume. Want to Read saving…. Right down the middle. I felt like it was Protex versus the JLA…then all his little Hyperclan minions were just an afterthought. The mere existence of the line-up is obviously not as remarkable as it was 15 years ago, but Morrison still makes the formation of the team feel significant. Then she's transported to a horrific last stand against the Joker, who kills her lover and so she ends his life in rage. Total hubris on the part of those beings with super powers. Friend Reviews. It's time for an answer. Howard Porter's art is awful, though. It perfectly captured the tone and scope of what Grant Morrison wanted to do with the Justice League. It's just funny to see that his most famous work is not actually his best. The mention are legacy characters two of which are new to their mantles. And the 90s art can feel dated. Finding Orion , he uses the energies in his helmet to heal him. So it was OK but I'd hoped for better. Maybe it will be in future volumes, but right now it's feeling pretty one- off.

  • 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.

  • Humor About Brutality and the Elite Viewership of Plautine Comedy
    HABEO TERGUM: HUMOR ABOUT BRUTALITY AND THE ELITE VIEWERSHIP OF PLAUTINE COMEDY Kelly I. McArdle A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Sharon James Patricia Rosenmeyer Alexander Duncan Erika Weiberg James O’Hara © 2021 Kelly I. McArdle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kelly I. McArdle: Habeo tergum: Humor about Brutality and the Elite VieWership of Plautine Comedy (Under the direction of Sharon James) In the plays of Plautus, enslaved characters joke and make witty remarks about brutality so frequently that it may be called a hallmark of Plautus’ comedy. Through re-readings of scenes from select Plautine plays, I ask what humor about brutality can tell us about non-elite perspectives on violence and torture. I also consider how such humor communicated with elite spectators. I argue that the performances of these plays offered unique opportunities for subalterns to be able to talk about brutality in front of the very people who could inflict it—to defy elite logics of enslavement, especially the elite vieW that subalterns were sub-humans on Whom it was morally acceptable to inflict violence. While Roman senators sat front-and-center, expected to be present for the social and religious occasion, Plautus disrupted their enjoyment of theatrical performances by repeatedly confronting them with their own brutality. I analyze this challenge to elite logic as a phenomenon enacted simultaneously in the plays betWeen characters and also in the theater betWeen actors and audience.

  • Cast Bios Lauren Holly
    CAST BIOS LAUREN HOLLY (Grace Carpenter) – Born in Bristol, Pennsylvania, the daughter of two college professors, Lauren Holly was raised in Geneva, New York. Her childhood was split between experiences of growing up in a rural town and the sophistication of her parents’ academic careers. She credits her love for acting to her great- grandmother, who bred a family tradition of “treading the boards” on the musical theatre stages of Liverpool and London. Holly spent time traveling in Europe and lived for a year in London, where she studied languages and flute at the famed Sarah Siddons School. At Sarah Lawrence College, she majored in English literature and economics, and intended to become a lawyer until the Elite Modeling Agency discovered her as a college freshman. By her sophomore year, her talent landed her a theatrical agent and a series of commercials. During her last year of school, Holly appeared in the Francis Ford Coppola-produced “Seven Minutes in Heaven” and, after graduating, starred in Michael Mann’s “Band of the Hand.” Holly’s breakthrough performance in film came in the box office smash “Dumb and Dumber.” Next, she received glowing reviews for her performance in the Edward Burns’ drama “No Looking Back.” Her other film credits include “Any Given Sunday,” “Sabrina,” “Turbulence,” “Beautiful Girls,” “Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story,” “A Smile Like Yours,” “The Adventures of Ford Fairlane,” “Down Periscope,” “Entropy,” “The Last Producer,” “What Women Want,” “Colored Eggs” and “U-Boat.” She also lends her voice to the character of Chihiro’s mother in the animated motion picture “Spirited Away.” ® In addition to starring in the Emmy Award nominated TV dramas “Chicago Hope” and ® Emmy winning “Picket Fences,” Holly was seen in the television movie “King of Texas” and the miniseries “Jackie, Ethel, Joan: Women of Camelot.” Adding writer and producer to her resume, Holly and her father recently started a production company, Hollycould Productions, which is developing several projects.

  • “The Dark Knight and the National Security State”
    “The Dark Knight and the National Security State” Rodger A. Payne Professor and Chair Department of Political Science University of Louisville Louisville, KY 40292 [email protected] Prepared for a panel on “Images of Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism” for the joint Annual Meeting of the International Security Studies Section of the International Studies Association and the International Security and Arms Control Section of the American Political Science Association; Austin, TX; November 14-15, 2014. Portions of this paper were presented at the joint Tenth International Association of Word and Image Studies Conference and Twenty-First Annual Scottish Word and Image Group Conference, University of Dundee, Scotland, August 11-15, 2014. “The Dark Knight and the National Security State” In the mid-1960s, Aaron Wildavsky made a now well-known claim that the U.S. has one President, but two presidencies. On defense and foreign policy, in contrast to the domestic policy arena, the President has great success controlling the course of policy.1 Indeed, scholars critical of the American “national security state” have for decades emphasized the dangers to democracy posed by an alleged “imperial presidency.”2 The executive branch’s security policy apparatus features a “behemoth institutional complex,” which includes the enormous resources of the Pentagon, a very large array of intelligence agencies, and significant elements of national and transnational law enforcement.3 Some scholars worry that not even the democratically elected President controls national security decision-making. Legal scholar Michael J. Glennon, in his lengthy explanation of why “national security policy has scarcely changed from the Bush to Obama Administration,” focuses attention on what he calls a “double government.” While the United States’ constitutionally-established institutions are well-known, Glennon argues that real power in this issue area resides with “the network of executive officials who manage the departments and agencies responsible for protecting U.S.

  • Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity As Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise
    Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity as Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise Jack Peterson Teiwes ORCID identifier 0000-0001-8956-1602 Doctor of Philosophy November 2015 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the PhD degree Produced on archival quality paper Abstract Since first appearing as a comic book character over three quarters of a century ago, Superman was not only the first superhero, spawning an entire genre of imitators, but also quickly became one of the most widely disseminated multi-media entertainment franchises. This achieved a degree of intergenerational cultural dissemination that far surpasses his comic book fandom. Yet despite an unprecedented degree of adaptation into other media from radio, newspaper strips, film serials, animation, feature films, video games and television, Superman’s ongoing comic books have remained in unbroken publication, developing a long and complex history of narrative renewal and reinvention. This thesis investigates the multifaceted intertextuality between the comic book portrayals of Superman and its many adaptations over the years, including how such retellings in other media have a generally stronger cultural impact, which exerts in turn an adaptive influence upon these continuing comics’ internalised narrative continuity. I shall argue that Superman comics, as a case study for the wider phenomenon in the superhero genre, demonstrate via their frequent revisions and relaunches of continuity, a process of deeply palimpsestuous self-adaptation. The Introduction positions my research methodology in relation to intertextual theory, with an emphasis on providing terminological clarity, while Chapter 1 expands into a literature review on pertinent key scholarship on adaptation studies and the comics studies field specifically.

Madere1* 1 Department of Communication and Media Studies, Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, USA * Carol M. Madere, Department of Communication and Media Studies, Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, USA Received: August 13, 2018 Accepted: September 28, 2018 Online Published: November 1, 2018 doi:10.22158/wjssr.v5n4p292 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.22158/wjssr.v5n4p292 Abstract Batman, the creation of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, who first appeared in DC Comics as a comic book superhero in May 1939, is not a classic superhero in the sense that he possesses supernatural abilities. Instead, he relies on his intellect, training, tools and determination. The villains he faces are different from the classic binary of good vs. evil as well. This paper examines how evil is portrayed in Batman’s world—evil as embodied by the villains he confronts and evils that result from hopes disappointed, opportunities denied and evil that does not even arise from evil intentions for personal gain, the evil of people who, as Alfred tells Batman, “just want to see the world burn”. Keywords superhero, Batman, villain, Christopher Nolan, Frank Miller, millennials 1. Introduction Batman creator Bob Kane was only 23 when Batman debuted. Kane was influenced by noir films and pulp fiction in creating his iconic hero (Ross, 2018). Batman’s appearance was based on a number of sources from popular culture of the 1930s, including the lead character from a 1930 silent film entitled The Bat Whispers and a 1934 pulp character, the Bat, a hooded crime fighter who paralyzed villains with a gas gun.

  • USA Gymnastics Message
    Technique.2010 4/9/04 1:29 PM Page 1 USA GYMNASTICS MESSAGE February brings with it some interesting news - a new partner and the departure of an icon in the gymnastics industry. It is also the big month for our cousins – the winter sports that will be featured at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Just recently, USA Gymnastics and Warner Bros. Consumer Products announced that the Supergirl brand, based on the DC Comics’ character, will be the title sponsor of the 2010 Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup. Recognized as a symbol of strength, leadership and female empowerment, the Supergirl S-shield uniquely embodies the intelligence, independence, and creativity of women. This is an ideal partnership for the event, which features the next generation of stars for our sport at the elite and collegiate level. The Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup gives athletes a unique and up-close look at what lies ahead at the elite level. These athletes will interact with the best gymnasts in the world and compete on the same podium and apparatus as the Tyson American Cup participants. It is wonderful to have a company like Warner Bros. Consumer Products and the Supergirl brand support the sport of women’s gymnastics. They were inspired by Nastia’s integrity, commitment to giving back, sportsmanship and leadership, and believe gymnastics connects with the Supergirl brand’s support of today’s action sports girl. We are really looking forward to the inaugural Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup. Already gymnasts have been chosen from a few invitationals in the Nastia Liukin Cup Series.
