About the Course:

Welcome to Batclass! In this class, we'll learn about the vast and varied history of Batman. What makes Batman so compelling after so many years, spawning comics, movies, TV shows, and more? This decal will explore everything from Batman's history to the deeper aspects of his story and psyche that make his tale an example of modern American myth. Over the course of this class we will be examining a variety of materials that contribute to Batman's world, from the earliest serials and comics to more contemporary comics and movies. 

Finally, you don't need to be an expert on Batman to take this course! Die-hard fans and newbies alike are welcome to take this course--so long as you're ready to participate and share your insights in discussion!

Facilitator: I'm Danielle, assuming the mantle of Batclass facilitator for the first time! Helping me dodge crowbars out of the Robin tights and into the cowl will be my co-facilitator Morgan and a number of guest speakers, some of who have lectured for Batclass before. I'm really looking forward to sharing the ways of the Bat with everyone this semester!

How to Enroll:

We will not be enrolling any more students this semester. You are, however, free to audit or to join us next semester!

Please note that readings/lectures may still be shuffled around in the semester, but what's up now is more or less final.

This has been a very popular class in previous years, so please join us on the first class (AUGUST 25, 122 BARROWS) for the best chance of getting in! We will be admitting about 50 students this semester.

Enrollment will be first come, first served--those who attend the first few classes will be given priority--but if there are a large number of students interested, CCNs will instead be emailed out according to lottery.

If you have any questions or would like to receive quicker updates on the status of the course, feel free to email me at goshdarnbatclass[AT]gmail[dot]com! See you in August--same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!
