Book excerpt: Almost immediately after his first appearance in comic books in June 1938, Superman began to be adapted to other media. The subsequent decades have brought even more adaptations of the Man of Steel, his friends, family, and enemies in film, television, comic strip, radio, novels, video games, and even a musical. The rapid adaptation of the Man of Steel occurred before the character and storyworld were fully developed on the comic book page, allowing the adaptations an unprecedented level of freedom and adaptability. The essays in this collection provide specific insight into the practice of adapting Superman from comic books to other media and cultural contexts through a variety of methods, including social, economic, and political contexts. Authors touch on subjects such as the different international receptions to the characters, the evolution of both Clark Kent's character and Superman's powers, the importance of the radio, how the adaptations interact with issues such as racism and Cold War paranoia, and the role of fan fiction in the franchise. By applying a wide range of critical approaches to adaption and Superman, this collection offers new insights into our popular entertainment and our cultural history.

This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Literature - Modern Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Cologne (Englisches Seminar), language: English, abstract: Filmic comic book adaptations are not a new phenomenon, but throughout the last decades the amount of productions based on comic book material has highly increased. While some theoreticians note that both media share aesthetic qualities and formal properties that predestine comics for filmic adaptations, critics consider comics to be inherently unfilmable due to structural differences. This thesis examines how recent films have tried to adapt the visual and structural features characteristic to comic books and how those adaptation techniques have explored the limitations of both media. Robert Rodriguez film "Sin City" (2005) will serve as the primary point of reference. Thus, this paper will try to answer the question to what extent film is able to make comic books “come alive” and to what extent it is incompatible to do so. Filmische Adaptionen von Comics sind kein neuartiges Phänomen, nichtsdestotrotz haben sie in den letzten Jahrzehnten zugenommen. Viele Theoretiker merken an, dass Film und Comics entscheidende ästhetische Qualitäten und formale Aspekte teilen, die das Medium Film geradezu prädestinieren, Comics in Bewegtbild zu verwandeln. Kritiker entgegnen, dass Comics naturgemäß unverfilmbar sind. Grund seien strukturelle Unterschiede beider Medien. Diese Bachelorarbeit geht der Frage nach, wie zeitgenössische Filme versucht haben, neben Handlung und Figuren besonders die visuellen und strukturellen Eigenschafen des Comics zu adaptieren, und wie die dabei verwendeten Techniken die Grenzen beider Medien aufgezeigt haben. Robert Rodriguez Film "Sin City" (2005) wird dabei den primären Bezugspunkt darstellen. In der Folge soll sich die Frage beantworten lassen, in welcher Weise das Medium Film Comics "zum Leben erwecken" kann und wo es in dieser Prämisse versagt.

Barnard, Michael Cohen, Rayna Denison, Martin Flanagan, Sophie Geoffroy-Menoux, Mel Gibson, Kerry Gough, Jonathan Gray, Craig Hight, Derek Johnson, Pascal Lefevre, Paul M. Malone, Neil Rae, Aldo J. Regalado, Jan van der Putten, and David Wilt In Film and Comic Books contributors analyze the problems of adapting one medium to another; the translation of comics aesthetics into film; audience expectations, reception, and reaction to comic book-based films; and the adaptation of films into comics. A wide range of comic/film adaptations are explored, including superheroes (Spider-Man), comic strips (Dick Tracy), realist and autobiographical comics (American Splendor; Ghost World), and photo-montage comics (Mexico's El Santo). Essayists discuss films beginning with the 1978 Superman. That success led filmmakers to adapt a multitude of comic books for the screen including Marvel's Uncanny X-Men, the Amazing Spider-Man, Blade, and the Incredible Hulk as well as alternative graphic novels such as From Hell, V for Vendetta, and Road to Perdition. Essayists also discuss recent works from Mexico, France, Germany, and Malaysia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Superhero Multiverse focuses on the evolving meanings of the superhero icon in 21st-century film and popular media, with an emphasis on re-adapting, re-imagining, and re-making. With its focus on multimedia and transmedia transformations, The Superhero Multiverse pivots on two important points: firstly, it reflects on the core concerns of the superhero narrative—including the relationship between ‘superhero comics’ and ‘superhero films’, the comics roots of superhero media, matters of canon and hybridity, and issues of recycling and stereotyping in superhero films and media texts. Secondly, it considers how these intersecting textual and cultural preoccupations are intrinsic to the process of remaking and re-adapting superheroes, and brings attention to multiple ways of materializing these iconic figures in our contemporary context.
