SUPERMAN GENESIS EXT: KRYPTON Krypton, Twice the Size Of SUPERMAN GENESIS EXT: KRYPTON Krypton, twice the size of earth, is a dark green tented planet with massive cities visible from its atmosphere. On one side of the planet sits the, red sun, Rao while the moon Wegthor counters the other. Krypton’s surface is made of high rise buildings, enormous statues of former leaders. The vast countryside depicts breathtaking mountain ranges; crystal clear lakes surrounded by lushes meadows. The more prominent cities include Argo City, Kryptonopolis and the planet’s capital Kandor. EXT: KANDOR The busy city is made of countless skyscrapers and busy streets. At the cities center lies the Council Temple. INT: COUNCIL TEMPLE The temple is made of high ceilings, statues honoring previous leaders of the science council. INT: COUNCIL ROOM In the middle of the large room sits a massive table. The walls resemble famous Kryptonian art passed down from generations. At the table, members of the council sit for an emergency meeting. JAX-UR, one of the leading scientific minds of Krypton, wears the dark red cloak representing his place in the Science Council. The cloak also sports a center chest piece of an altered Superman logo. Jax-Ur is bald with an eye patch. Jax-Ur: “It is my strong recommendation we activate the Krypto Genesis Protocol while there is still time.” KOR-TE, an out spoken council member, quickly counters the recommendation: “I was under the impression that project had been placed in remission.” Jax-Ur: “And I was under the impression we are trying to save our home. Releasing the selected elements into Krypton’s core can reverse the degeneration.” 1 Kor-Te: “Or immediately kill us all! Just as your brilliant mind nearly destroyed Wegthor!” Jax-Ur standing in frustration: “We have no other choice! If we do not act now everything will be lost!” A booming voice comes from the table’s head: “Silence!” Everyone’s attention is turned toward, the science council leader, JOR-EL. The leader dawns a black cloak with the same altered Superman logo chest piece. The final piece of his uniform is a crimson red cape indicating his place as Krypton’s leader. Jor-El: “Fighting will gain us no ground toward a solution. We are paying the price for years of unwise decisions affecting our planets well being. I will not have its final doom be at the hand of another such decision. We will continue on the current course with construction of the Excelsior transports to save has many lives as possible. I will not stand by and have an entire culture destroyed.” A menacing voice comes from the other end of the table. “Who are you to decide our fate?” The entire council turns toward a man wearing a Krypton military uniform GENERAL ZOD. Zod has the look of a powerful leader. His uniform is a black suit showing off the altered sliver Superman logo. Each shoulder shows off 5 stars representing his high ranking in the Krypton military. Zod: “Government elected you may be but I will not forfeit the right to save my home. For millennia Krypton as been at the forefront of technological advancement. Our planet as been at the very center of gaining peace in the galaxy.” Zod stands from the table as a dozen, armed, Black Zero soldiers enter leveling guns at Jor-El. Zod: “I will not allow you to destroy that.” Jor-El stands meeting Zod’s challenge as his personal secret service, Red Shard soldiers, storm the room along with taking post among the balcony. 2 Jor-El: “General you of all should know mutiny will gain nothing. As Government elected Council Leader I exercise my right to relieve you of your ranking along with banishment to the Phantom Zone.” Jax-Ur looks on, with a glaring face, as Red Shard personnel bind the hands of Zod and his men. Zod: “This is an unwise decision…leader. You will one day pay for this crime of genocide.” EXT: COUNCIL PALACE The home of Jor-El sits high above Kandor’s sky line. The beautiful structure was constructed by the most talented artisans of Krypton. INT: FOYER Jor-El’s wife LARA sits rocking tiny baby KAL-EL. Jor-El enters giving his family a loving hug. Lara: “How did the meeting go? Is the council becoming more cooperative?” Jor-El taking baby Kal-El into his arms: “It’s taking time but there are certain members who will never concede.” Lara: “Jax-Ur?” Jor-El: “And Zod. He attempted a mutiny with his Black Zero Unit.” Lara gasps in fear of her husband’s life. Jor-El: “Don’t worry I had Red Shard on standby. I am not naïve to think my authority will not be tested in these times.” Lara has fear for husband’s life along with their own. She goes to a couch and sits in obvious distress. Lara: “When do we have to leave?” Jor-El sits next to her: “Soon, maybe a month.” 3 Lara is terrified of leaving her home planet: “Is there truly no other way Jor-El? Is there not something that can be done other than abandoning everything we know?” Jor-El: “I wish there were but I have to do what I feel is right. I must do what is best for the Kryptonian culture. The Excelsior transports will save millions of lives giving us the chance to rebuild Krypton on a new planet.” Jor-El turns his attention to his sleeping baby: “So that one day our son may lead us into a world far beyond what we know now.” Jor-El pulls Lara’s tearful face where he can see her: “Lara I will not allow anything to happen to us……I promise.” EXT: KRYPTON MOUNTAIN RAVINE-NIGHT Deep in the bellows of a mountain ravine lies the Phantom Zone. Guarding the area are layers of sacred hooded warriors who have sworn to preventing Krypton’s greatest threats from escaping imprisonment. EXT: OUTSIDE RAVINE’S ENTRANCE A battalion of Black Zero soldiers along with hover tanks close in to invade. Jax-Ur exits one of the tanks looking out on the legendary dungeon of evil. After several moments he makes eye contact with the Black Zero battalion leader. Jax-Ur: “You may commence.” The battalion leader gestures toward the hover tanks. The lines of tanks rotate their cannons toward their target and fire numerous blasts destroying the entrance gate. CUT TO: ENTRANCE GAIT Guards scatter from the massive explosions. The Black Zero battalion and hover tanks charge the entrance storming through its remains. They are met by reinforcement guards who begin firing on the battalion. Black Zero soldiers, being a highly advanced combat unit, mow down the resistance with little problem. 4 INT: MOUNTAIN The battalion storms through the large halls killing everything in their way. After several moments they arrive at the Phantom Zone entrance. Soldiers mount explosives creating a massive opening. INT: PHANTOM ZONE In the dark smoky room lie dozens body chambers containing the galaxies most dangerous criminals. Black Zero Agent: “What is this place?” Jax-Ur: “The tombs of torture. It’s my design actually. I created a sedative to place the prisoner into a dream state. This dream state controls the mind’s thoughts toward punishment and suffering. No physical harm is provoked but the mind is obliterated into agony.” Jax-Ur makes his way to the chamber occupied by Zod. He manipulates several controls causing the chamber’s door to open bring Zod back to a conscious state. Zod awakens in a fury grabbing the throat of a Black Zero agent. Jax Ur: “Not exactly the welcome I was expecting General.” Zod reorients himself to the situation and releases the soldier Zod: “What do you want?” Jax Ur: “Not everyone believes mutiny is a dead end. We have a common goal General. It’s time we combine our resources.” EXT: KRYPTON OCEAN Ocean water begins to boil as sea creatures float to the surface. Eruptions begin blowing through the water’s surface. CUT TO: The ocean’s floor begins to separate creating large canyons revealing the unstable core. CUT TO: 5 Massive tidal waves form, destroying cities along the water’s coast. CUT TO: Multiple earth quakes shake the planet as volcanoes erupt. EXT: COUNCIL PALACE-DAY INT: ORACLE CHAMBER The protective bunker surrounds a glass globe at the center. Inside the globe lies the radiating Oracle Crystal. Jor-El and JUL-US meditate at the ancient artifact. Jul-Us is a veteran council advisor who acts as Jor-El’s mentor. Jor-EL: “If the prophecies are true this is the key to Krypton’s future.” Jul-Us: “It can only be one man who demonstrates courage and compassion that will better the universe.” Jor-El: “Do you believe this man lives?” Jul-Us: “Careful you do not assume the identity of the Oracles destined protector. I believe Krypton’s savior will be revealed soon enough.” Jor-El: “Forgive me but the burden of my choice ways heavy on the heart.” Jul-Us: “That is understood Jor-El but look to your son. One day he will remove such uncertainty taking our culture far beyond the reaches of this galaxy.” The chamber’s door slides open. Entering is a Red Shard agent. Red Shard Agent: “Your presence is requested in the surveillance room sir.” INT: KANDOR SURVEILLANCE ROOM Jor-El along with council members and Krypton’s leading scientist watch as Krypton’s core emits massive amounts of unstable energy. 6 Scientist: “The core’s degeneration has accelerated much faster than expected.

BAKER Submitted to: Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez Committee: Tabetha Adkins Donna Dunbar-Odom Mike Odom Head of Department: M. Hunter Hayes Dean of the College: Salvatore Attardo Interim Dean of Graduate Studies: Mary Beth Sampson iii Copyright © 2017 Michael G. Baker iv ABSTRACT COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS Michael G. Baker, PhD Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2017 Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez, PhD Superhero comic books provide a unique perspective on marginalized characters not only as objects of literary study, but also as opportunities for rhetorical analysis. There are representations of race, gender, sexuality, and identity in the costuming of superheroes that impact how the audience perceives the characters. Because of the association between iconography and identity, the superhero costume becomes linked with the superhero persona (for example the Superman “S” logo is a stand-in for the character). However, when iconography is affected by issues of tokenism, the rhetorical message associated with the symbol becomes more difficult to decode. Since comic books are sales-oriented and have a plethora of tie-in merchandise, the iconography in these symbols has commodified implications for those who choose to interact with them. When consumers costume themselves with the visual rhetoric associated with comic superheroes, the wearers engage in a rhetorical discussion where they perpetuate whatever message the audience places on that image.

  • How to Draw Superman Logo
    How to Draw Superman Logo Easy Fast "Look! Up in thee sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Superman!" Those words are well known to superhero fans around the world. Since his debut in DC's Action Comics #1 in 1938, Superman has perhaps become the world's best loved superhero. Sometimes called "the big blue boy scout," this American icon is known for always doing the right thing and making sacrifices to save people in danger. He appeared in print and radio media at a time when the American people longed for a hero - they were in the midst of the Great Depression and soon to be drawn into the war that was raging in Europe. Superman is an "every man" - he is an orphan, a refugee, a poor boy from the country, and a blue collar worker trying to make it in the big city. Superman was sent away from the planet Krypton, which was destroyed by the greed of the people who inhabited it. Superman derives his powers from the Earth's bright sun and disguises himself as "mild mannered Clark Kent, reporter for the Daily Planet." His iconic logo has been said to be the shield of the House of El, his biological family on his home world. Other works have said that the "S" shape stands for "Superman" or for hope in the language of Krypton. Whatever the meaning of this piece of pop art history, you can draw your very own Superman logo. All you need is a piece of paper and something with which to draw.

According to writers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson, "Reckoning" had been chosen as the episode's title before the script had been finalized. Karen A. One faction of fans was unhappy with the choice of Jonathan, however, as they would have preferred Lana dying instead. Volume 5 - 1st printing. Alongside E4 broadcasting the new series of the show, Sci-Fi were also broadcasting all the older episodes, which ran all the way up to the end of Season 7. However, the show was not able to afford the special effects to pull the scene off, and so, the sequence was re-written to feature a bus crash. Leslie rated it it was amazing Jun 26, This authorized companion with a stunning page full-color section takes you through Season Four, which achieved the highest ratings of any season! Since then, she has headlined shows like Bitten and the reboot of V. The final version was finished "two-and-a-half [to] three weeks" before production began. It should come as no surprise, then, that Durance was a hit with the viewers and fans and she remains one of the, if not the best incarnation of Lois Lane there ever has been highly contentious though that sentence is.

  • Introduction
    By Valeria Introduction What is light without dark? How can you know the measure of a man without a proper foe to pit him against? Can there truly be something as inspiring as a Superhero without a being vile enough to be a Supervillain? Is anyone able to handle the power of a Super Man? There are innumerable answers to each of these questions but the world you find yourself in is one that has taken just one approach to each question. A world where there is light and heroism that exists, often in great concentrations, but only by struggling against great darkness can those heroes succeed. This world is the world of the Superman, of Batman, of Wonder Woman and many more heroes to come. The familiar heroes of DC take on a new interpretation in the DCEU, a world based on the cinematic universe created in the 2010s. As of this moment, the world appears normal to most of the population. Supernatural beings live in the world but only in isolated fortresses and hidden away civilisations, aliens live in the stars and hidden amongst the people but do not reveal their presence and those few humans possessing strange abilities of their own keep it to themselves. But soon that will change. In a years’ time, a prison ship from a dimension known as the Phantom Zone will arrive on Earth carrying an organisation known as the Sword of Rao. Composed of rogue Kryptonians, superhuman alien warriors from a dead planet, they will seek to transform the world into a replica of their own lost home, regardless of how many humans die.

  • Comic Book Journalists Beyond Clark Kent It’S a Different Era of Anti-Heroes and Realism, but the Reporter Is Still an Effective Device, Comics Insiders Say
    138 Matty Roth runs into trouble in Brian Wood’s title DMZ #17 (May 2007). Comic Book Journalists Beyond Clark Kent It’s a different era of anti-heroes and realism, but the reporter is still an effective device, comics insiders say. Bill Knight Professor of Journalism Department of English and Journalism Western Illinois University [email protected] The public respects journalists and holds “the press” in low esteem, according to several surveys – much like Congress’ approval ratings that are low collectively while individual incumbents usually are re-elected. Americans seem dissatisfied with institutions but appreciative of people they know who happen to make up those institutions. A We Media/Zogby Interactive poll released on February 29, 2008, showed that 70% of Americans believe journalism to be important to their communities, but 64% are dissatisfied with its quality. In popular culture, journalists are often featured in novels, films, and other forms of entertainment, but one of pop culture’s most enduring uses of the journalist is in comic books. 139 However, comics’ often shallow journalist characters – embodied by the milquetoast version of Clark Kent – recently have evolved into more full-bodied roles: weak or vain, blustery or cynical, realistic or at least somewhat more credible for twenty-first century audiences. In the last few years, running characters or situations that expand the role of journalists in comic books range from DMZ’s Matty Roth and Transmetropolitan’s Spider Jerusalem to Phantom Jack’s Jack Baxter, Deadline’s Kat Farrell, and Front Line’s Ben Urich and Sally Floyd. This year is the seventy-first anniversary of the publication of Action Comics No.
