Batman as American Mythology
Fall 2008 - English 98/198 - Units: 2
Shortcuts: decal.org/723 decal.org/batman
This is a course for Bat-beginners and Bat-veterans alike - all those interested in investigating Batman as American mythology and beyond. As no myth exists in a vacuum and Batman's myth is historic as well as modern and ongoing, we will often compare Batman to various real-life contexts and influences. We'll incorporate various visual elements as well, such as the animated episodes and movie screenings. Course content will encompass analyzing Batman cartoons/TV shows, movies, and comics, with special emphasis on a few pivotal graphic novels which will be required reading for the class.
(any questions? send us an email! holydecalbatman[AT]gmail[DOT]com)The Facilitators: Danielle returns for her fifth semester and Liz returns for her third semester to educate malleable minds in the ways of the Bat, this time around joining forces with fresh face Miguel to form the ultimate crime-fighting (and bat-educating) trio! Batman will also pay us unannounced visits from time to time.
