#GothamCentral av Greg Rucka, Ed Brubaker og Michael Lark.
Hvordan er det å jobbe som politi når alle skurkene enten er psykopater eller psykopater med superkrefter? Hvordan føles det å jobbe med en sak i ukesvis bare for at en kar kledd ut som en flaggermus leverer gjerningsmennene på døra?
Gotham Central and Cultural Capital [1 of 3]
As a cult classic that eschewed commercial success in favour of grounded storytelling, Gotham Central’s successes and failures provide a case study for the concept of cultural capital and the ways we might define “success” as a concept. #gothamcentral

As a cult classic that eschewed commercial success in favour of grounded storytelling, Gotham Central’s successes and failures provide a potent case study for the concept of cultural capital in the comics industry and the variant ways that we might define “success” as a concept. #gothamcentral 1/12
Our latest @sequentialscholars.bsky.social talks possibilities for storytelling subversion in Gotham Central. #Batman #GothamCentral #Spiderman #ComicsStudies
The covers of Gotham Central #1 and Amazing Spider-Man Annual #6.
The first story arc of “Gotham Central,” titled “In the Line of Duty,” knowingly subverts expectations of a “traditional” superhero story. A comparison with a more traditional story arc, in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #6, underscores this subversion. 1/10 #Batman #GothamCentral #ComicsStudies
Our latest for @sequentialscholars.bsky.social talks revisionism in Gotham Central! #Batman #ComicsStudies #GothamCentral
The covers of The Amazing Transforming Superhero and Gotham Central #5, the latter of which shows a cop in an interrogation room, interviewing a mysterious subject.
In the introduction to “The Amazing Transforming Superhero,” Terrence R. Wandtke argues that superhero comics employ 4 common types of revisionism: additive, fundamental, conceptual, and critical. These categories can help us define the revisionism of “Gotham Central.” 1/11 #Batman #GothamCentral
Our latest @sequentialscholars.bsky.social talks Gotham Central and the age of multiplicity! #Batman #GothamCentral #ComicsStudies
The cover of Gotham Central #4, showing a dead body on the roof of a car with police gathered around.
Brubaker, Rucka, and Lark’s “Gotham Central” is set in a superhero universe but doesn’t star superheroes. Raising the question: is it a superhero comic? We can address this question by historically situating Gotham Central within the “ages of comics.” 1/13 #ComicsStudies #Batman #GothamCentral
Our next unit for @sequentialscholars.bsky.social is focusing on Gotham Central! #Batman #ReneeMontoya #GothamCentral
