Understanding The Fascinating World Of Batman Comics
For people there are many different forms of reading material. These reading materials can be thought of as non-fictional and fictional forms of reading matter. In the fictional form comic books like Batman comics are a firm staple for people of different ages. Batman was first introduced to the populace by Detective Comic in their book number 27. The character of Batman was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger. As the latest crime fighter Batman was a huge success. For this reason DC comics released the Batman comics as a separate comic book title in 1940. Since that period Batman comics have remained a favorite. Batman brings a sense of realness to the fantasy world of super heroes. Many folks can relate, on some level, the the character that batman portrays. While the Batman comics have earned this crime fighter a place in the chronological record of fiction superheroes there have been many occasions where the character of Batman has been changed or revamped to fit in with the current trends and ideas. An example of this can be seen during the early historic period of the Batman comics. As with everything else there is an evolution of the original character. While batman remains true to his origin, the overall theme of his world has changed. As many of the comics of during the 1939 to 1949 period were depicted as pulp fiction the Batman of that period was granted many of the traits for that time. To make the character more realistic Batman Comics showed Batman battle his enemies as a vigilante using only his combat skills, his strength and his intellect. Different from the other superheroes Batman was not granted any super powers or special abilities. He was portrayed as a man who was driven to fight crime in his way but one who still respects the laws of his home city of Gotham. In many of the Batman comics Batman is shown as a silent and grim crime fighter who battles his enemies by himself. The mystery of Batman strikes the human populations curiosity. Who is this man? Why does he fight crime? Where does his passion come from? These are the fundamental questions that often times keeps us coming back. To make batman's character seem more human the creators of the series later added other characters to the Batman comics. For most of the history of Batman his sidekick Robin is shown fighting alongside of Batman.
Afterwards additions to the cast of the Batman comics are batgirl who is shown as Police Commissioner Gordon's daughter Barbara, and batwoman. The various villains who appear in the Batman comics are also well known. The names of the Penguin, the Riddler, catwoman and even the Joker are ones that we recognize. While many changes have been brought to the mysterious man, Batman comics are still comics that are read by many people. The various Batman movies that many of us have seen are a testament to the popularity of this superhero and the ever growing host of Batman fans. So, when you are reading the next Batman or watching the next movie ask yourself, What intrigues you about this super hero...

THE KANE TRIPLETS- MISSION IMPOSSIBLE (1968)
3 min "There are words to that?!" That's what everybody thinks the first time they hear this. Yes, there are and they're really cool! When JFK was asked what he was reading he mentioned a spy novel. Immediatly James Bond was fast-tracked into cinema houses worldwide. He was the perfect standard for Cold War virility, a John Wayne man with Hugh Hefner's upscale tastes. Television, movies, and comics ran with the espionage concept for the rest of the decade. Women became crucial players in these games of death and deceit. The proactive Mod culture set the example of the modern self-sufficient woman, and THE AVENGERS reflected this with Honor, Blackman, Diana Rigg, and Linda Thorson. They weren't Miss Moneypenny, they were Jane Bond; Kinky, cool, and lethal. MODESTY BLAISE threw down in the UK comic strips and in a hyper-Mod movie. Batgirl, enlivened by Yvonne Craig, was invented for the massively popular BATMAN TV series and took on a life of her own. "Meanwhile", villainess Catwoman stole all the best lines, attitude, and fashion. She was suitably mercurial in the forms of Lee Meriwether, Julie Newmar, and Eartha Kitt, whose brilliant casting opened a door for African American actors. French artist Guido Crepax envisioned a thoroughly adult comic where a Mod photographer named VALENTINA 's free sensuality, independence, and sharp observation guide her through surrealistic adventures. His boldly experimental graphic style was seamlessly converted to celluloid with the underated BABA YAGA film (1973). Barbara Bain and her husband Martin Landau helped launch MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE on it's original eight year stealth run. The Italian anti-hero Diabolik stole into cinemas in the modernist spectacle called DANGER DIABOLIK, which starred John Phillip Law and Marisa Mell as his match, Eva Kant. And then there's BARBARELLA. Jean Claude-Forest pushed the envelope with his torrid tales of a spacefaring free-loving minx. Surprisingly the film, starring a breakout Jane Fonda, retained as much of the adult comic as celluloid could handle, helping herald a new wave of sensuality and permissiveness in modern film. Anita Pallenberg steals the story as the Black Queen, dazzling the world with whirling knives, fetish futurism, polyamory, and sapphic seduction. THE MAN FROM UNCLE spun-off satellite sister Stephanie Powers in her own bulletproof jetcar. Wonder Woman got a makeover into an Avengers-inspired agent with a smashing Mod wardrobe. (In the early 70's, longtime fan Gloria Steinem helped wake her back up into her power mode.) "This (Ape) planet wouldn't be nothing without a woman or a girl", like Nova and Dr. Zira. If spy shows let women kick butt, and Barbarella opened their attitudes, this film reflected the growing disenchantment that something was going horribly wrong with the war machine. Meanwhile DC Comics let its readers redesign Supergirl for the changing age. it was one thing to be a good girl fighting crime like a man. It was another thing to be Tura Read more...

25 Aug 2008 at 11:44pm Coraline (2009) Clip - The Story of CoralineMovieTrailerNews
2 min - Aug 26, 2008http://www.CentralMovieNetwork.com/tmd.htm Coraline (film) Coraline is a 2009 animated stop-motion fantasy film based on Neil Gaiman's novella of the same name. It will be animated and co-directed by Henry Selick and Mike Cachuela and is scheduled to be released in theaters on February 6, 2009. Coraline Plot The story of a young girl who unlocks a mysterious door in her new home, and enters into an adventure in a parallel reality. On the surface, this other world eerily mimics her own life--though much more fantastical. In it, Coraline encounters such off-kilter inhabitants as the morbidly funny Miss Forcible and Miss Spink, and a counterfeit mother--who attempts to keep her. Ultimately, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home. Coraline Production Coraline as depicted in the film.Laika Entertainment House (formerly Vinton Studios) has funded the film with around $50 to $70 million. Coraline is the first stop-motion animation to be shot stereoscopically with a dual digital camera rig for digital 3-D exhibition. New tools are being developed which will give the stop-motion creators the same flexibility as CGI animators, making it possible to push objects forward and back in post-production. Dakota Fanning will star as the voice of Coraline. Teri Hatcher will lend her voice to the roles of both Coraline's Mother and her Other Mother. Ian McShane will voice Mr. Bobinski, a beet-eating Russian giant who lives upstairs from Coraline in her alternate reality. The soundtrack will be provided by the rock group They Might Be Giants. On December 22, 2007, Neil Gaiman put up a sneak preview of some early but not quite final footage of the movie. On May 22, 2008, in an interview with Bloomberg.com, producer Bill Mechanic said, "It's a long process, but it's almost finished." On August 11, 2008, A Behind-the-Scenes Featurette was released containing unfinished clips of the film, interviews, and behind the scenes look at the production. A new featurette will be released on Rotten Tomatoes every day of that week. Coraline Voice cast and Character info Dakota Fanning as Coraline-self proclaimed explorer, she is young, clever, and as curious as they come. She is often aggravated by rain, crazy grownups (as they all seem to be), and not being taken seriously because of her young age and quiet demeanor. Perhaps her single biggest pet peeve is that everyone mistakes her name for Caroline (everyone in the real world at least, except the mice and her parents). Teri Hatcher as Coraline's Mother / Coraline's Other Mother- Coraline's Mom works at her house on the computer. She is very busy most of the time, but she loves and cares about Coraline. The Other Mother is creator of the other world, during the film her appearance changes to reflect spider like qualities. John Hodgman as Coraline's Father / Coraline's Other Father- Coraline's dad works at his house on the computer which he spends most of his time on (his job). He cares about Coraline very much. The Other Father is a swigging singing man created by the other mother, and fears the Other mother greatly. Keith David as The Cat- A black cat from Coraline's world (as opposed to that of the Other Mother). The cat acts as a mentor to Coraline and guides her through her journey. Ian McShane as Mr. Bobinski- The film version of Mr. Bobo from the book. He is a russian who once trained in the circus. His other world counter part is the ring master of a circus of Rats. Jennifer Saunders as Miss Forcible and Dawn French as Miss Spink- A pair of retired actresses. They own several stuffed Scottie dogs, and talk in theater jargon, often referencing their time as actresses. They recognize the danger Coraline's in after reading her fortune through tea leaves. In the other world the stuffed Scottie dogs are alive and behave like humans. Wybie played by Unknown Actor is a character original to the movie. In the real world he is described as an annoying neighbor kid. His other world counterpart is the most helpful person to Coraline. In the Film he possesses a mask that he wears when outside, later on when Coraline goes into the other world, there appears to be a another person who wears the mask and rides around on a motorcycle. Henry Selick created Wybie mainly so Coraline would not be walking around and talking to herself. Coraline Release Focus Features will distribute the film. Coraline appeared at Comic-Con 2007. A teaser is shown with the movies Beowulf, U2 3D, and Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert. Coraline Video game On June 16, 2008, D3Publisher of America announced it will release a video game based on the film. The Coraline game is being developed by Papaya Studio for consoles and by Art Co. for Nintendo DS. It will be released in the first quarter of 2009, in close proximity to the film's theatrical release. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coraline_(film) Read more...
