    Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths

    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough 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 August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

    “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 ..........................................................................................................................

    SUPERGIRL “End Title”

    SUPERGIRL “End Title” Music by Jerry Goldsmith -Supergirl (1984) ** [music ****] http://www.amazon.com/Supergirl-Limited-Helen- Slater/dp/6305842027/ref=sr_1_2?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1293764295&sr=1-2 [NOTE: This document was cut & pasted here from my very long DVD Collection analyses] Here is my YouTube video on the End Title that I created December 22, 2016: https://youtu.be/4hw9taS_5wE While the movie itself is a bit of super-stretched nonsensical entertainment, the music itself by Jerry Goldsmith deserved super-sized praise! I’ll later delineate some of the End Title cue. I am very happy Goldsmith had a chance to enter the Superman universe in terms of providing a score to compare with Williams’ excellent Superman score. Imagine if there was an alternate score to that movie (Goldsmith composing it) instead of the inferior Supergirl. It would be one of those probable realities that I wish I could enter and experience. Of course we already have a five-star super score by Goldsmith from the esteemed Star Trek universe (Star Trek:TMP) and it is difficult to 1 imagine Goldsmith coming up with an even better score for, say, Superman, but we will never know! The movie itself is pretty laughable, campy, kidsy and silly—but it has a certain degree of oh-what-the-heck fun! You really have to suspend any sense of logic in this film. For instance, when Kara (Supergirl, played by cute Helen Slater) rides the inter- dimensional vehicle Zalthar (Peter O’Toole) created to enter the outer reality of Earth, she was wearing her rather floral, flowing outfit.
