Remember when I said my @Womanthology artist, Hanie Mohd, sent me an extra special gift? This was it. <3
A gift art of Oracle, looking at the first bird of spring, done for Jill (also known as Mrs Wayne - Bruce, not Thomas).
Ok so technically *this* is actually the last of the Sweater Girls for the time being XD—————————————————————————————————-
If I ever give my “Batman vs. Hamlet” talk again, I’ve GOT to incorporate this image into the slides.
Comics Bulletin used it in their interview with me:
“Travis Langley: Getting Inside Batman’s Head”
A flashbulb memory is a memory laid down in great detail during a highly personally significant event, often a shocking event of national or international importance. These memories are perceived to have a “photographic” quality. The term was coined by Brown and Kulik (1977), who found highly emotional memories (e.g. hearing bad news) were often vividly recalled, even some time after the event. For example, a great many people can remember where they were when they heard of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 or the assassination of John F. Kennedy or John Lennon.
Despite the great vividness of such memories, research suggests that compared with ordinary memories, flashbulb memories are no more likely to be remembered than ordinary memories (e.g., Weaver, 1993). The most pronounced difference between ordinary and flashbulb memory is that people believe flashbulb memories to be more accurately and vividly remembered.
Psychiatrist Fredric Wertham’s 1954 book “Seduction of the Innocent” shook up the comic book industry with his assertion that comic books caused much of America’s juvenile delinquency. My students just read the chapter in which Wertham famously said Batman & Robin’s lifestyle = a homosexual fantasy. One student had seen that book before because her mother had cited it when saying she couldn’t have comic books, in the days when she watched “Highlander: The Series” with its almost weekly beheadings.
