lotesseI needz stuff - next week I'm teaching my freshman an essay on camp that uses Batman as a primary instance, mostly older comics and the Adam West series. Can any of y'all recommend images/videos for me to show the brats? They're the Nolan Generation, and most of them have never seen a Robin. I've got a few panels - the best one is the "Robin, what have I done?!" - but I'd rather have more stuff than less, and I know some of you actually, yanno, read comics. Unlike me. Erm.

Also, mithen over at LJ might have some scans. Let me see if I can dig up a link . . . http://mithen.livejournal.com/79813.html I don't know how applicable they'll be.
Hope that helps at least a little! Good luck!

Date: 2011-02-08 09:09 pm (UTC)I'm dubious about providing links to silly, dubious comics. It always makes me want to go, "It's an art form and a legitimate storytelling medium, I swear! Please stop looking at terrible covers from the Silver Age and give Astro City a read!"
But, class on camp. Happy to help.
