Comic Book to Film Adaptations: How and Why Have They Changed Over Time?Joel Bell
In this presentation created for middle high school students, I outline the evolution of comic book to film adaptations moving away from the comedy and camp of earlier works (the Batman TV series, Schumacher's Batman installments) towards the naturalistic worlds and politically charged atmospheres in works from the mid-00s on (Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy and Snyder's Watchmen)- approaches which are generally considered to be more representative of the original source materials. I propose to students that this is a result of the primary author and creative team on a comic book film project using such an adaptation to reflect and explore contemporary cultural/political conditions and social issues in the film's themes and execution.
This presentation was commissioned by the English Faculty of Brisbane Water Secondary College Middle School Campus in 2008, back before I studied Producing, Screen Business and Screen Culture at AFTRS and put my acquired knowledge and skills into practice across multiple projects. With the presentation now being over five years old, reviewing it recently has made me want to revisit this topic, utilise my new knowledge and update the material to reflect the current landscape of comic book to film adaptations and the blockbuster landscape in general.
i.e. Marvel's Phase One approach to world building and franchise integration (Nick Fury's role) and the juggernaut success The Avengers experienced as a result, inclusion of Man of Steel, the rise of the Hunger Games franchise and other YA novel adaptations; replace Quantum of Solace with Skyfall; replace declining franchises like Die Hard, Terminator, Indiana Jones and Bourne with more relevant content; use my since acquired producing and film industry knowledge to expand on the practices available for studios to modernise their comic book properties and the associated financial incentives; include video examples and generally update the theory for a more sophisticated, critical, digitally native teenage audience.
I hope to bring you the 2.0 version of this presentation soon. If you have any comments or suggestions for things you'd like to see in a new version, please don't hesitate to message or contact me otherwise. You can find links to my social media presences on this page. Thanks for viewing!

Jussie Smollett and the Hazards of Moral Sentimentality
Narratives about ‘racism’ and ‘homophobia,’ stoked by news and social media, stir self-affirming rage.

A well-known story says that when President Lincoln met Harriet Beecher Stowe, he remarked, “So you are the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war.”
Stowe’s 1852 novel, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”—with its melodrama of Eliza’s flight across the ice, of Simon Legree’s cruelty, of Uncle Tom’s martyrdom—had so roused American feelings on the subject of slavery that nothing less than a great civil war could have done justice to either the crime or the novel.
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was a supreme work of moral sentimentality—of feelings stirred to noble and lethal purposes. The story tore sentimental 19th-century America apart. It ended not with Uncle Tom’s crucifixion but with Appomattox.
Sentimentality may enlist in the cause of justice. Beware: It serves just as often in the ranks of evil. Hitler and Joseph Goebbels deployed sentimental storylines of the Volk, of Aryan purity and blood and soil. Righteousness sometimes waxes sentimental, but so do monsters. Anyone who ever organized a lynch mob in Alabama knew how to sentimentalize white womanhood.

Today’s media storytelling has perfected a genre of intensely sentimental and spontaneously generated folk tales, especially stories dealing with race and sexuality. Social media and cable news pour forth vividly moralized tales that are sometimes true and sometimes not. The stories dramatize wrongs in order to amuse and polarize what has become the Republic of Maury Povich. They boost TV ratings, ignite apoplexy in our iPhones, and organize Americans along angry ideological lines.
Sentimentality, the regime of feelings, tempts people to exaggerate facts in ways that awaken grievances and encourage hatreds. Social media and cable news move faster than the speed of t.
