Abstract:

Over the past four decades, since the transition of Robin into the Nightwing superhero persona in DC’s Tales of the Teen Titans #44 (July 1984), sidekick characters have become increasingly relevant in their narrative function for DC’s overall superhero storytelling and world-building strategies. By examining the comic book and television narratives across Teen Titans and Young Justice titles, this article argues for a critical examination in how sidekicks mature into independent superheroes and how this impacts the broader storytelling paradigm for DC and their related media.

Abstract:

Watchmen(1987), written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons, is a 12-part graphic novel that portrays real-life superheroes in a fictional United States of the 1980s. An alternate universe where ordinary people without superpowers were inspired by superhero comics and took on the crime-fighting in tights in the 1940s, the comic portrays an America vastly different from our reality. Since its publication more than two decades ago, the comic has been the subject of extensive study due to its breathtaking narrative structure as well as its acute deconstruction of the superhero genre its

Abstract:

Superheroes have always been defined by their dual lives, but analysis of the ways dress has informed characterization is often limited to just their superhero costumes, despite qualitative evidence that comic book heroes are depicted in civilian clothes at least half as often. Contemporary depictions of superheroes on television spend an even greater percentage of time dressed in civilian garments. This article combines both adaptation studies and industry studies approaches to discuss the overlooked influence of civilian clothing in conceiving the television superhero ‐ examining both comic

Abstract:

Myth is an essential part in superhero roles. In modern superhero acts, a character may possess more than one myth. Thus, this portrayal is an ideal power to create supremacy. An author, even a director could employ the newly-created myth to overcome hegemonic power. As stated in Gramsci, there is an instrument to control, even surpass ideology. In the Deadpool 1 & 2 movie, the myth of superheroes is interpreted as the instrument of hegemony. The aims of this study are to find out what kind of superhero hegemony that will be countered in the Deadpool movie, what are the counter hegemony el

Abstract:

This essay examines a number of Filipino superhero films (Captain Barbell, Darna and Lastikman) and how a uniquely American creation was “Filipinized,” taking into account the cultural and social aspects of the Pinoy superhero as demonstrated in the films. For the first time in Filipino film history, three superhero films were included in the 2003 Metro Manila Film Festival. While the producers were most likely following the popular trend in Hollywood, the films Fantastic Man, Captain Barbell, and Gagamboy, still reflect the Filipino longing for a hero to look up to. All films were big box-off

Abstract:

ABSTRACTComic is a visual product that is quite popular in Indonesia. The popularity of comics in Indonesia cannot be separated from the development of comics in the West. One effect felt was the emergence of comics with the superhero genre. However, superheroes in the West and adipahlwan in Indonesia are the result of a dynamism of very different creative processes. Superheroes emerged in the West as a new form of mythology for their people, while the Indonesian adpahlawan emerged precisely by exploring the values of classical mythology that had long existed in Indonesia.
