Synopsis
In this book, Dr. Will Brooker examines what Batman means, and has meant, to the various audiences, groups and communities who have tried to control and interpret him over the decades. Pinpointing four key moments in Batman's history, Brooker illuminates the struggles over Batman's meaning by shining a light on the cultural issues of the day. So, we see Batman refusing to adapt to the patriotic propaganda of the Second World War; we see him accused, in the mid-1950s, of corrupting the youth of America by appearing to promote a homosexual lifestyle to the fans of his comics; we see him become a camp, pop-culture icon through the ABC-TV series of the sixties; and we see how, in recent years, Batman has been interpreted by his fans in response to the comics and the Warner Brothers franchise of films.
